“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,” said Jim Dolan, executive chairman and CEO of Sphere Entertainment.

“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,” Dolan continued. 

Directed by Jim Sharman and based on Richard O’Brien’s stage musical, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” stars Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon as Brad and Janet, an engaged couple whose car breaks down near the home of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, played by Tim Curry. The musical comedy became a cult favorite thanks to its blend of science fiction, horror and memorable songs.
