About The Wizard of Oz at Sphere

This is a film, not a stage show, and that is the first thing to be clear about. There is no live cast. What makes it unusual is the venue: Sphere's interior screen wraps around and above the audience, far beyond the shape of a cinema screen, and the 1939 film has been adapted to fill it. Material that was never in the original frame has been extended outward so the image reaches the edges of your vision.

The practical consequence is that where you sit changes what you see more than at almost any other venue. The screen curves around and over the seating bowl, so seats low and close sit underneath a large part of the image and have to look up and around to take it in. Seats higher in the bowl and centred sit back from the surface and see the composition as a whole. Neither is wrong, but they are genuinely different experiences of the same screening, and the difference is larger than a seating map communicates.

Sphere also runs haptics and environmental effects in parts of the seating bowl rather than throughout, so some sections include physical effects that others do not. Whether a given seat has them is a property of the section, not something the listing controls.

Because it is a film on a schedule, it runs multiple times a day, and the run time is close to the original film rather than the length of a theatre production. Sessions are shorter and turn over faster than an evening show, which makes it easier to combine with other plans and harder to arrive late for without missing something.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a live stage show?

No. It is the 1939 film adapted for the wraparound screen at Sphere. There is no live cast.

Does the seat position really matter here?

More than at most venues. The screen curves around and above the bowl, so low, close seats sit underneath a large part of the image while higher, centred seats see the whole composition. The difference is bigger than a seating map suggests.

Do all seats have the physical effects?

No. Haptics and environmental effects are built into particular sections of the seating bowl rather than the whole venue, so whether your seat includes them depends on the section.

How long is it?

Close to the length of the original film rather than a theatre production, and it screens several times a day rather than once nightly.

Is PickStub affiliated with Sphere?

No. PickStub is an independent marketplace with no affiliation to Sphere Entertainment, to the venue, or to the rights holders of the film. Orders are covered by the PickStub buyer guarantee.
