The Sphere in Las Vegas has been following the Yellow Brick Road with screenings of The Wizard of Oz in their theater in the round for over a year.
But next year, they are going to do the Pelvic Thrust as they take the audience on a Time Warp to the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Jim Dolan, Executive Chairman and CEO of Sphere Entertainment, said: “Through Sphere Studios, we are building a slate of original experiences that push the boundaries of technology and storytelling for this new medium, while always keeping the audience at the center of the experience. 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.”
I think seeing the movie there is going to be just as exciting as the first time you lost your Rocky Horror virginity at a midnight screening. I still remember my first time, and unlike that other first time, I enjoyed it and didn’t want it to end. And it hasn’t! It has only gotten better with time.
So, how much anticip-ation do you have for the one-of-a-kind movie experience? Well, it is a different way to try out something familiar.
And the best part about it being in Las Vegas is that no one is going to question all the men walking around dressed like Dr. Frank-N-Furter. I mean, how can you not dress up? It is part of the magic!
And I really hope that they invite the surviving cast to the inaugural screening that would really toucha, toucha, toucha me!
