Prepare to time warp back into the iconic madness of 1975’s The Rocky Horror Picture Show with a new experience at Sphere in Las Vegas. In special arrangement with Primary Wave Music and 20th Century Studios, Sphere Studios will use its advanced technologies to enhance the original film for a unique immersive experience. Jim Dolan, Executive Chairman and CEO of Sphere Entertainment, said in a press release, “Since The Rocky Horror Picture Show premiered in 1975, it redefined audience participation and became a cultural phenomenon. With Sphere, we have the opportunity to take that spirit of immersion to an entirely new level.” This new production is part of The Sphere Experience, Sphere’s slate of original immersive content including The Wizard of Oz at Sphere.
The company has yet to announce in what ways the original film will be enhanced. Its predecessor, The Wizard of Oz at Sphere, has drawn criticism from the use of generative AI to add extras and scenery to fit the 60,000-square-foot wraparound interior LED display, and for cutting nearly 30 minutes of runtime from the film (including some musical numbers).
Expected to open in 2027, audiences will just have to wait in antici…pation.
