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!
Before Susan Sarandon didn’t want anyone else raising her children in Stepmom, she was thinking of putting her son up for adoption on A World Apart. She is a much better actress now than when she was 24 in that 1971 episode.
In the ’60s, we had the Rat Back. The ’80s were about the Brat Pack. Twenty years after that, we got to know Frat Pack. And now it is all about the S.A.T. (Seniors Acting Terribly) Pack.
Some of the S.A.T. Pack movies are 80 For Brady, Book Club, Summer Camp, Poms, and Going In Style. On July 26th, Susan Sarandon, Bette Midler, Megan Mullally, and Sheryl Lee Ralph will star in The Fabulous Four.
The film follows three life-long friends (Sarandon, Mullally, and Ralph) who travel to Key West, Florida to be bridesmaids in a surprise wedding of their college girlfriend Marilyn (Midler). Once there, sisterhoods are rekindled, the past rises up again in all its glory, and there are enough sparks, drinks and romance to change all their lives in ways they never expected.
As someone who loves Pack movies, I can’t wait to see this movie because it is good fun and future goals.
It is December, and we just learned what is the first broadcast scripted show that won’t be back for another season on Fox. That title goes to Monarch.
Never heard of it? It was a Country Music Soap Opera that starred Trace Adkins and Susan Sarandon. Well, they lied about the latter because they killed her off in the first episode. Not that that was a bad thing. But they kept pushing that she was starring in the series.
When it comes to the show, I tried watching it, but after three episodes, I stopped. I just couldn’t do it anymore, and I have low standards. Since it is all about me, that is why it won’t be back. Not that it did terribly in the ratings.
Monarch, the County Music Primetime Soap that stars Trace Adkins and Susan Sarandon, was supposed to debut at the end of the month. However, Fox announced yesterday, they are holding the drama until the Fall.
“With an incredible pedigree of talent and musical performances, the powerfully compelling drama, MONARCH, is a top priority for FOX Entertainment in 2022. Unfortunately, due to the unavoidable realities of the pandemic and the profound impact Covid-19 continues to have on our industry and around the world, it is necessary to reschedule MONARCH’s January 30 debut to the Fall. As the cornerstone of FOX’s new 2022-23 slate, shifting a show of this magnitude allows us to have its entire first season produced, create additional, high-profile content and promotional windows to support launch, and give our viewers the best opportunity to enjoy the series as intended with a non-compromised run of episodes. We thank our cast, producers, writers and the entire crew for their tireless work and continued dedication to the country music-filled world that is MONARCH.”
Personally, I am bummed. I was looking forward to it. But, I can wait a few months for the series to debut.
No word, what show will replace it, but I am sure Fox will tell us soon enough.
