Did I mention we saw #TheWizardofOz at #TheSphere in #LasVegas?

I'd call it a *remake* of TWoO that takes some of the original cast's performances, upscales them, and surrounds them with luxurious sound, and stunning visuals.

#4D effects that feel like cheap gimmicks in smaller venues become intense experiences (the tornado sequence is incredible). And Oz feels like a real place with real depth -- more complete than the soundstages in the original film.
