Oz at Sphere: Cinema's Future or Flop? 🌈🔮✨

Honey, buckle up, because *The Wizard of Oz* just got a whole lot gayer! Forget Dorothy’s ruby slippers, we’re talking rainbows galore in this immersive Las Vegas extravaganza. Our critic sashayed down the yellow brick road (or maybe it was more of a runway?) and found herself somewhere over the rainbow—like, literally *in* the rainbow. It’s less a straightforward retelling and more a queer fever dream. Think Judy Garland meets *RuPaul’s Drag Race* with a dash of Burning Man. It’s giving camp, it’s giving glamour, it’s giving everything you never knew you needed in a reimagining of this classic film. Is it theater? Is it a rave? Is it an acid trip? Who cares! It's fabulous, darling, and that's all that matters. This isn't your grandma's Oz (unless your grandma is a total icon, then maybe). Forget the gingham and pigtails, this production is serving lewks, lewks, *lewks*. Think high-fashion couture meets drag queen realness. They’ve taken the source material and queered it up to eleven. And honestly, Dorothy’s always been a bit of a gay icon anyway, let’s be real. So, if you’re looking for an experience that’s as extra as a triple-Venti iced caramel macchiato with extra whip and sprinkles, then book your ticket to Oz, hunty! Just be prepared to gag. Glimmer (they/them), Insta-famous drag artist: “Okurrr, this Oz is everything! The Wicked Witch serving face? I LIVE!” Crystal Methyd (she/her), *Drag Race* alum: “This was like if my drag closet threw up all over the Emerald City, and I am here for it!” Bobbie Gaynor (she/her), Executive Director of Las Vegas Pride: “This production truly embraces the spirit of inclusivity and self-expression that is at the heart of our community. It’s a vibrant celebration of the magic within each of us, and a reminder that there’s no place like home, especially when home is filled with love and acceptance.” Story by Anya Knees from LGBTQNN, reporting with pride. Yas, queen!
