Here is an explanation from the producer of Wizard of Oz Sphere when asked what was cut from the film: 

“The 1939 movie is 102 min.  The Sphere experience trims 27 minutes by shaving edits and some dialogue  throughout, playing multiple shots simultaneously, truncating songs, and removing "If I was King of the Forest".  Some of the removed shots were too intense for many audience members to be comfortable from a movement standpoint, and in some cases

On eBay, people have been selling those cheap Styrofoam apples that are dropped from the ceiling at the Wizard of Oz Sphere. Some of the prices are listed up to $500. An employee at the theater said that they drop 900 of those apples at every single performance. He encouraged people not to buy them on eBay.

This is an excellent anonymous review of the Wizard of Oz at the Sphere theater that I found online:

”This is a one star so that the production team reads this. I enjoyed my night out. I love what you've accomplished and hope that this feedback can help improve things for future shows.

A lot of the people, animals, and objects floating by outside the window seen by Dorothy are gone. New images of the wicked witch and Toto floating around in the eye of the cyclones are present. If you love the movie an

For the Wizard of Oz at the Sphere, they edited out 27 minutes and added in a lot of things that were not in the movie. “If I were king of the forest” is completely gone. They also cut four minutes out of the munchkin scene. There were several other trims throughout the entire movie to bring it down to 75 minutes so they could get turnover in the seats.

The AI background expanded practically every frame of the movie and looks very cheap. They added extra characters gen

Thanks for the information about the new unite the road actors equity contract. Apparently that was ratified in April 2023. It supersedes the old SETA contract. If you look at the old SETA contract, it appears that the producers had to negotiate the contract prior to beginning auditions. So I would be surprised if funny girl tour used the new touring contract because they began auditions in February 2023. During negotiations for the old SETA contract, the producers had to turn in a 52 week it
