The Yellow Brick Road leads to Sphere. “The Wizard of Oz at Sphere” has been formally announced to open Aug. 28. The 1939 classic is joined by “From The Edge,” a collection of scenes featuring extreme athletes, as the latest theatrical experiences at the Bulbous Wonder.
Sphere Entertainment announced the two productions Friday morning. Ticket sales and scheduling are to be announced.
According to previous reports, “Wizard of Oz” is reportedly being drawn down to 80 minutes from its original 102, the process costing $80 million. Those figures have not been confirmed by Sphere officials, however.
Both shows are to run multiple times per day, similar to Darren Aronofsky’s “Postcard From Earth” and “V U2 An Immersive Concert Film.”
