Wizard of Oz at Sphere
Las Vegas
January 26-27, 2026
When this showed up in my feed back in the fall, I was blown away at the chance to experience The Wizard of Oz with winds blowing leaves during the tornado scene and apples falling from the enchanted trees! Seats were $800 in the fall, so I bought months ahead, and we finally got to go out and see it in January.
It was an amazing experience! One of the most immersive scenes was in the witch's tower. When the camera moves in on the scene with her and the flying monkey looking into the crystal ball, you move into her chamber, complete with a creepy chandelier above and walls all around!
The only spoiler was that they had trimmed it to run only about an hour. And since I know every line, I kept cringing every time they cut a good one. But I tried to calm myself: "This is their interpretation of this film."
We made a nice weekend out of it, with a two-night stay at Nobu (a boutique hotel within Caesar's) and an excellent dinner at Superfrico!
