![]() We toyed with the artifacts, stuffed birds, old books and twigs. We knew that Sleep No More was going to be unusual, and we went in with enthusiasm. 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. In another scene, I watched a guy crouch down sssllllooThere truly wasn’t any story to follow -as countless reviews have echoed … 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 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)!! As 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. 99% of the show takes place on other rooms and floors (where there are plenty of other FREE places to sit down). This comment is more of a buyer be ware….ĭo NOT get the package with the reserved table. ![]() I do not fault the playhouse or production company for the behavior of its patrons, however, the crowding and rudeness of other guests was not at all pleasurable! - My 1 star ranking in no way reflected this part of my experience. PS- SUPER HATED WEARING A MASK UNDER A MASK. I had more fun acting like the entire building was a haunted escape room and I had to find clues to get myself out in the fastest time possible. Even if I could follow the story, awful - just awful. This play was all over the place - I was so lost and confused. You are then placed onto an elevator and dropped off at random floors… from there the poop show commences. The experience - you are herded through a mandatory coat check-in line, sent to a ticket booth, phone checked and then told to head to the 2nd floor lounge. My poor husband didn’t understand by the website description that when you pay $300+ per ticket it is only for a seat at a table that is completely unnecessary, and a bottle of champagne that I can’t drink…. That alone truly blew me away… However, this show was a mess. The acting, production, design, and lighting left us in awe.I have to say I really loved the concept and theming of this place. One never knew what drama might be playing out around the next corner. In our ramblings, we explored a forest, a graveyard, an infirmary, forsaken storefronts, a gloomy chapel, and much, much more. There is no right or wrong way to experience the show. ![]() Classic jazz wafted through the hotel as if from an old-fashioned radio but with undertones of a dark synthetic drone that swelled to a discordant chorus whenever the action got particularly diabolical. Figures leapt and danced, cried, made love, fought, and shouted before whisking themselves off to other rooms, all while we guests gazed on, mute specters, privy to the wild passions of a bygone age. The next few hours we wandered from room to room and floor to floor bearing witness to a phantasmagoria of eerie vignettes. The scene conjured the mood of dark enchantment that would come to haunt the hotel for the rest of the night. Down on the stage below was a long white-clad table reminiscent of an infernal The Last Supper, where actors, bathed in colored lights, engaged in slow-motion revelry, taking part in many a deed without a name. The next doorway led to a mezzanine overlooking a ballroom. We proceeded turn by turn down another jagged hallway and passed a stone angel holding a candle cupped in her hands.
