V-U2 An Immersive Concert Film at Sphere Las Vegas

I am surprised that this event is not rated higher. Yes they cut some of the movie out but they had to to make it more ai impactful and to create a better experience for everybody to enjoy it and to make it come to life I felt they really tried to make this as impactful as they could First when you came in they had the witch going up the escalators in ai and then they had a place where you could stand and take pictures in the poppy fields and another one you could choose to stand in three different formats and take pictures and have them sent to your email At the end of the play they had the wizard and his guardsman on a stage on the main area where you came in by the merch stands this was really cool they did a good job trying to make him look correct Everybody has to remember this is 3d effect and AI there is no glasses this is on a screen they used flames they use snow they used styrofoam apples coming out of the ceilings they used monkeys flying ahead and they used to win with leaves blowing in the air and landing on your lap and in your hair they did a very good job they really tried hard to make it seem as real as they could for all This event was not for kids this event was for all ages there were groups of older ladies to younger kids My only disappointment was the merchandise the colors were lacking the prints nothing really stood out. The sweatshirts there was very few What I was hoping for was a house on the front and on the back of the shirt the yellow brick road and on the sleeve the wicked witch of the East shoes running down the sleeve It would have been cool to have a Glenda shirt pink with Glenda and that on the back the wicked witch It would have been cool to have shirts that had the munchkins and flowers on the sleeves and munchkins on the front of the sweatshirts It would have been cool to have the wizard on one of the shirts for men and people who like the wizard And then they should have had a shirt too of poppy fields and the poppy field should have went not just the front of the shirt and not in the middle but down towards the end and then on the sleeves and then the very top you should have seen snowflakes coming down I think I should have been in charge of the merch I could have done such a better job nobody really honestly was buying a lot of merch plus it was high priced I know the movie was in black and white and they had a retro sweatshirt and like a brown old vintage color but not everybody is into that everybody said the jacket was cool but it was 200 bucks when would they wear it again I thought it was nice that they actually sold the apples at the end even if it was a limit of two cuz I think only maybe 300 400 apples got released and there's over 4,000 in the audience and I guess they were having a problem people were selling them on eBay for $100 to $500 which makes sense because they are very sought after item for collectors who love The wizard of Oz I am so glad I flew from Minnesota to go see this with my daughter and a couple of friends we all enjoyed it we say 10 all the way across the board great job to the production great job to the crew great job to the director and everybody who worked on this I will also add this for all of you who do not know this the sphere is the only one of its kind right now and the problem with the sphere is it projected cost was like 1.2 billion and because of covid in all the craziness in the world and the government shutting everything down it ended up costing them three something billion dollars way over budget and because of the kind of venue they can't always have pack out weeks and weeks on end this movie they project will bring in one point two billion dollars which is great because this will help them get all of this finances paid off and get them into being profitable I hope they do the nai one now of Star wars this would be phenomenal people would come all over the world just as they did for wizard of Oz With that said I will close my eyes click my feet three times together and often Minnesota I will go with great memories and great fun of a great production thank you to everybody and may I add this the security that was there that day and the ticket takers they were phenomenal there was one security guard her name was destiny she made our day she was so knowledgeable so kind and the ticket takers give us lots of info on Las Vegas The sphere was very clean and I loved all the added things they had all over with the wizard of Oz I liked how you went up the escalators and on this side was the witch riding her bike the monkeys floating through all the displays great job everybody

Saw the Wizard of Oz, what a spectacular show, was emotionally moved by the visual effects, definitely worth going to. The added touches of apples, leaves, flying monkeys, snow and fire were added surprises. The tornado scene felt like you were experiencing it in real life.

We went to the Wizard of Oz and had so much fun! So many surprises along the yellow brick road adventures. I would highly recommend for young and old. What a great time! We definitely will come back to the sphere.

We parked at the nearby Wynn and walked which takes ~20 minutes. You can walk across the street into the Palazzo via a bridge and then can walk into the Sphere via a bridge without having to go outside, but for a short time which was nice because it was raining. We saw the Wizard of Oz and it was a great experience. We sat in the 400 section which was a great view for this show because you can see the entire screen really well. The upper sections are steep so definitely use the hand-railing. The screen/many speakers make the show very immersive and the special effects were neat. The only negative was the degree of crowding when trying to enter/exit the venue as the hallways are narrow.
