Las Vegas Sphere Announces Its Next Production: The Rocky Horror Picture Show at Sphere
The 18,600-seat venue is building on its $400 million Wizard of Oz success with another audience-participation film experience.
- On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, Sphere Entertainment announced 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show at Sphere' will debut in 2027, using the venue's 160,000-square-foot wraparound LED screen to enhance the 1975 cult classic.
- Following the financial performance of 'The Wizard of Oz at Sphere,' which has generated over $400 million and sold more than 3 million tickets since August 28, 2025, the company is expanding its slate.
- Sphere Studios is developing the project through a deal with Primary Wave Music and 20th Century Studios for the 18,600-seat Las Vegas venue's immersive environment.
- Preserving the film's interactive tradition, the production allows audiences to dress in character costumes and participate with props, an approach Sphere Entertainment CEO Jim Dolan says pushes the boundaries of technology and storytelling.
- Plans for future growth include a deal signed earlier this year to develop a smaller Sphere in the Washington, D.C., metro area to scale these original experiences across major cities.
