The Sphere in Las Vegas to Bring 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' to Life in 2027

The Sphere has set its sights on another classic film for its next groundbreaking entertainment experience. The Las Vegas venue announced that 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' will become its newest immersive offering, arriving in 2027.

The announcement marks the next chapter for the innovative entertainment space, which launched an interactive Wizard of Oz experience last August. That production has proven to be a blockbuster draw, selling 3 million tickets and generating $400 million in revenue in less than a year.

Whether The Sphere will invest the same resources into adapting Rocky Horror remains to be seen. The Wizard of Oz transformation came with a hefty price tag of approximately $100 million. Details on the production budget and scope for the Rocky Horror experience have not yet been disclosed.

MSG Entertainment's Jim Dolan confirmed the project, emphasizing the venue's commitment to pushing creative boundaries. "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," he said. "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."

The creative team behind the Rocky Horror adaptation has yet to be announced. Meanwhile, the stage version of the cult classic continues its Broadway run, currently featuring Tony nominee Luke Evans in the cast.
