Within the show, there are several chairs and couches you can sit down at if you need a break. You’ll be walking and running from room to room (and up and down the stairs) a lot. Even most of the performances by the actors will be done silently. Once you are taken out of the Speakeasy, there is no talking during the show. I won’t spoil anything about the show, but for anyone planning to go to Sleep No More or if you’re at all intrigued by this show and might be interested in going I’ll share a few spoiler-free tips to help you out.

Sleep No More is like seeing a play (with interpretive-type dance performances), going on a scavenger hunt, and being in the setting of a David Lynch and Alfred Hitchcock movie all at once. At the same time, you’re wandering around there are different actors in the rooms performing scenes related to the overarching story of the show. There are people called guards (wearing black masks) who will stop you from going to any rooms or floors that are off-limits. At this point, whatever you want to do or check out is up to you. About the ExperienceĪfter hearing a few instructions (some of which I mention below), you’ll eventually be taken somewhere in this strange/dimly lit/freaky/crazy/cool awesome show. Going through the show by yourself adds to the fun and excitement. Sleep No More is a very individualized experience. They set it up so that you’ll be separated from other people in your group. If you came here with a group of people, you might have different playing cards, but don’t try to switch cards to go with someone you know. You won’t be able to take your drink with you after you leave the speakeasy. You can sit down and order a drink, but soon a man will get on stage and announce everyone holding a specific playing card (say everyone with an ace) will need to go with him. There are bathrooms here, which you might want to make use of since you may not find the toilets in the show. You’ll need to check your phone and camera if you bring those along as photos or videos during the show aren’t allowed.Īfter this point, you’ll get a playing card, and will be taken into a room that looks like a 1920’s speakeasy. I’d advise wearing something with pockets to keep your cash, ID, and credit card on you. If the weather is decent, you may want to leave your jacket and bag back home/back at the hotel to save the $4 coat check fee. When you get to the McKittrick Hotel, you’ll have to check your coat and any bags (including purses and umbrellas) inside the building. I would contact Sleep No More directly if this situation applies to you. The website does mention those 16 to 20 can be admitted when accompanied by a legal adult.
Yes, there’s a bar you visit before the show begins, so you need to be at least 21. The entire experience takes 2 to 3 hours (or more if you decide to have a drink after the show). The show takes place in the evenings, and you book a start time, which starts at 6 pm and goes until midnight (depending on the night of the show). They decorated the entire building just for this show. Now Emursive is running Sleep No More in an old building called the McKittrick Hotel (not an actual hotel) in Manhattan. Originally Sleep No More was produced by Punchdrunk and ran in Boston in 2009/2010.
Sleep No More is entirely different and more complicated than that. What is Sleep No More?īefore you think this is going to be something cheesy where you’ll get pulled up on stage to sing and dance it’s not. On a recent trip to New York City, I saw an interactive show called Sleep No More that was unlike anything else I’ve experienced. I love seeing shows, whether it’s something like Kabuki in Tokyo or a play close to home.
