The Sphere’s epic ‘Wizard of Oz’ Las Vegas spectacle will ‘blow your mind’ — and blast you right out of Kansas

There’s no place like Sphere.
A hotly anticipated Las Vegas Sphere residency for “The Wizard of Oz” kicks off Thursday, Aug. 28 — putting the beloved 1939 Hollywood classic not just back on the big screen, but at the highest resolution screen in the world, stretching 160,000 square feet.
Featuring seats that move with the action and sound blasted out of 167,000 crystal-clear speakers, it’s a setup that would likely wow even the wonderful Wizard himself.
“It’s an experience,” MSG Entertainment and Sphere Entertainment CEO James Dolan told The Post.
The man who famously sketched the initial design of the Sphere in a notebook before turning it into one of the most talked-about entertainment venues on Earth, Dolan’s $2.3 billion passion project turns the timeworn story of Dorothy and her eclectic gang of pals into a futuristic feast for the senses.
“We engage in everything but taste and smell,” said Dolan, whose team of experts has been tapping their ruby slippers together for countless hours to construct the immersive, $104-and-up per ticket “experience” that’s designed to transport viewers into the movie itself — sparing no expense along the way.
