Wizard of Oz

What the Show Is Like

The experience lasts approximately 75 minutes and uses a blend of the original film footage and new, high-tech expansions.

• The Visuals: The original 4:3 film is "outpainted" using AI and VFX to fill the Sphere’s 160,000-square-foot 16K LED screen. Instead of just watching a flat movie, the Kansas prairies and the Emerald City wrap around and over the audience.

• 4D Sensory Effects: The venue uses environmental tech to make the movie physical.

  • The Cyclone: You’ll feel high-speed winds from massive fans and seat haptics (vibrations) as the house is swept up.

  • The Poppies: Scents are pumped into the air to mimic the flower fields.

• • Atmospheric Effects: The theater uses falling snow, "flying monkey" drones that hover over the crowd, and physical "apples" that fall during the forest scene.

  • Enhanced Audio: The original dialogue is preserved, but the musical score was re-recorded by a full orchestra and played through 167,000 speakers for "spatial" sound.

Family-Friendly Appeal: Unlike many Vegas shows that are "adults-only" or intense (like Absinthe), this is a rare high-budget attraction that is perfect for kids and seniors alike.

The Pre-Show: Tickets usually include access to the Sphere Atrium, where you can interact with Aura, the resident AI robot, and view 22th-century tech exhibits.
