I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed Room 17B at 59E59 Theaters and Play Dead at The Player's Theater. My special mentions for Quarter 1 (2011) played to my senses in a way that the typical musical or drama does not.
So, you can only imagine how excited I was when I began to read the reviews for Sleep No More at the "The McKittrick Hotel". I immediately purchased a (eh-hem) full price ticket for later in the month. This one will definitely sell out.
Here are excerpts from some of the reviews for Sleep No More.
"You don't just sit back, relax and enjoy the show: You stand up and walk through it.
Incorporating installation art, performance, dance, theater and a choose-your-own-adventure game, 'Sleep No More' lets the audience roam freely over the six floors of Chelsea's McKittrick Hotel."
"...you've never experienced anything quite like "Sleep No More," an immense, nonlinear and sensory-based theatrical experience. It combines narrative elements of "Macbeth" with aspects of Hitchcockian noir, modern dance, masquerade and a haunted house.
"Confused? Excited? Weirded out? Scared to bits? Those are just some of the natural reactions to the 'Macbeth'-inspired immersive theatre experience that opened Thursday in New York's Chelsea section."
"An unimpaired sense of balance and depth perception is crucial to attending 'Sleep No More,' which leads its audience on a merry, macabre chase up and down stairs, and through minimally illuminated, furniture-cluttered rooms and corridors. The creative team here has taken on the duties of messing with your head, which they do just as thoroughly as any artificial stimulant."
