I’m thinking of the Macbeth bedroom and the sanatorium room with the cots. I do think the experience is more powerful/intense if you go it alone.Ģ) Certain rooms/scenes were so dark that you could barely see what was going on. This could have been because they were running late with getting everyone in due to checking everyone’s Covid tests and vaccination cards. But some things about the show had also changed from the pre-Covid era.ġ) They didn’t try to separate couples/groups, and they didn’t have you hang out in the bar at the beginning. My experience was different the second time around, partly because I knew the lay of the land, had some things in mind that I wanted to focus on, and felt slightly more comfortable in the environment. I had such FOMO the first time that I couldn’t wait to go back to see those scenes I heard about but missed (including the techno party scene). But the most intriguing part of it is that there’s always something else to explore. The physicality of the acting/movement is impressive, and somehow the actors manage to maneuver around the audience. Sleep no More is completely transporting (and creepy). Last night I returned for a second time, seeing the newly reopened and slightly revised version of the show. I attended Sleep No More for the first time in early 2020–right before it was shut down due to Covid. Also you have to fully mask up and it gets boiling in there so it’s thoroughly uncomfortable! Overall, I came out feeling like I’d been scammed and wanted the 3 hours of prime NYC time back. You also need to be fairly fit to keep up with the characters sprinting up and down 4 flights of stairs. WARNING: the place is bloody dark and really easy to walk into things so not for those with any sight impediments. Some interestingly bizarre interpretive dance and random nudity that was completely unnecessary, in my opinion, but I guess they need something to lure in the crowds. I ended up watching a bloke fiddle around with some bones for 15 minutes, hoping it would get interesting. Tickets are clearly oversold so once you are in, it’s a melee to follow the interesting characters and no one is adverse to elbowing you out of the way You are shown to the bar, which is cool - prices are extortionate for a drink and you have to guzzle it down to be ready to enter the “hotel”. Quite frankly, extortionate to watch a uni performance - perhaps I missed the point but at very few points could I get any semblance of Macbeth which the show is purported to be aboutĮxperience: ridiculous queueing to get in - arrive at 3 and you’ll be lucky to get in for 3:30 so it’s not actually a 3 hour show. Price: we paid a discounted price of $125 for the 3pm show. It’s also encouraged to explore things in your own way and be curious but there really wasn’t anything interesting to find! We thought there’d be secret rooms or hidden doors etc but we didn’t come across anything like that. It’s an immersive experience where you walk around 4/5 levels of the hotel that they strongly recommend you do alone! We started off doing the experience alone but after about 1.5 hours we stumbled upon each other and just decided to do the rest together because we didn’t find it that interesting and to be honest, didn’t know what on earth was going on! The actors and actresses were great and knew what they we’re doing but we just couldn’t follow the plot because they were all over the different levels of the building so in order to follow the story line I think you’d have to follow them all around the hole time! But this is just impossible with the amount of people they cram into the place! Myself and my husband attended Sleep No More in NY and we were a little disappointed with the whole experience. It seems like a great concept that needs to be made over with an entirely different, more exciting play/story etc (and add words) No one explains anything and there’s nothing worth trying to interpret. Yes, exploring the 5+ story hotel and its dozens of stocked and creepy rooms is fun but…nothing seems to lead to anything or have any meaning or payoff. In another scene, I watched a guy crouch down sssllllooThere truly wasn’t any story to follow -as countless reviews have echoed … In one scene, I literally watched an actor sleep in a bed for roughly 10 minutes. it’s often slow moving -like watching paint dry. We spent less than 5 minutes there and it we weren’t even into the show (and it was about a $400/couple upcharge)!!Īs you’ve read elsewhere, the show is a mess.
The “reserved table” is kind of ‘scammy.’ If you want to see the show and do the experience, you’ll likely hardly use the reserved table.
#SLEEP NO MORE TICKETS RESALE FREE#
99% of the show takes place on other rooms and floors (where there are plenty of other FREE places to sit down). Do NOT get the package with the reserved table.
