The Wizard of Oz at Sphere

Thursday, June 25 at 5:00 PM, The Wizard of Oz at Sphere plays on as one of Las Vegas’s most commercially successful immersive productions of the modern era — and the numbers reflect a show that consistently delivers.

Sphere’s 16K wraparound display covers 160,000 square feet, the 167,000-speaker system places every instrument with surgical precision, and infrasound haptic seats vibrate in sync with the action on screen. Live pyrotechnics punctuate the film’s most dramatic moments, and the physical effects — wind, fog, snow — arrive exactly when the story calls for them. The Sphere residency model found its proof of concept here, and Thursday evenings are a fine time to experience why.
