Myself and my husband attended Sleep No More in NY and we were a little disappointed with the whole experience. If you want to see traditional theater or aren't interested in being immersed in a level of discomfort, then it's probably not for you. But the three things listed above are all things we absolutely love and appreciate.
1) Modern dance 2) Immersive/installation art 3) Slow burn haunted houses or media (Silent Hill, anyone?) This is our favorite live theater performance we've *ever* attended. Here's how I explained it to family: To love Sleep No More as much as we did you have to like a few things. but the sets and performance are absolutely unsettling and even frightening at points. "Bad experience of terror"? I don't even know what that means. The first cast interaction you have prompts visitors to seek out one of the stage hands if they are uncomfortable. There's a reason that the show is adults only. Will you be separated from your group? Maybe. "Lack of compassion for those who are afraid"? Actors staying in character. Okay, let me speak to the negative reviews for a second: "Experimental dance"? Meaning modern dance in an immersive theater space. Overall a bit disappointing.I cannot explain to you how much fun we had. 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! 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. but the sets and performance are absolutely unsettling and even frightening at points.
