The moment you cross the threshold you enter a waking dream. But who's? It's been months since I first experienced sleep no more and I'm still not entirely convinced I ever left.

A lot of people say wearing glasses is a problem, but if like me you can't wear contacts don't worry. You'll be fine don't miss out. And remember to not hold hands - split up and go your own route.

Follow MacBeth (black actor) around the end there is a crazy scene with witches and strobe lighting, blood ritual, nudity and techno music. Jaw-dropping scene.

worth the money. wear comfortable shoes&clothes. wear contact lenses instead of glasses. bring no bags to save check in queue. about the show: the less know the better. run forest run goddamit !
StephanySeptember 9, 2018
Wear comfortable shoes or take the heels off as you run. Make eye contact with the actors and you might get brought to some v secret experiences. Mind. F*cked.

My favorite NYC quirky experience, amazing interactive show, great fun to explore, participate and wonder. Excellent 3rd or 4th date place if your girl has not been :)

Friday nights feature a burlesque show hosted by Queen of Nightlife ⭐️Suzanne Bartsch⭐️. Expect nudity, dirty jokes, jugglers, drag-queens,circus artists and other degenerates 👏🏻

Went here to see Sleep No More. I am not gonna tell you more otherwise I'll spoil it for you. Just go! Do it! Buy the earliest ticket available and go in alone. It's frightening but worth it.
Ricardo SeixasJuly 20, 2015
Definitely an experience! Get lost in 5 stories full of different environments. Even a ballroom! Stick with a character or you'll be lost. Little dialogues would had been nice.
John ANovember 7, 2014
Love this show and the venue is amazing. Make time for drinks at Manderlay bar. If you love film noir, old crime novels, and period productions.. Come here and be part of the show.
Becky FoxAugust 15, 2013
Macbeth meets Tower of Terror with live actors, and you walk around for as long as you can stand. Don't read any other comments/spoilers- prepare to check your bags- and explore solo for special...
Taher AlmuslemaniOctober 3, 2015
This act was really interesting, however when you continue following the actors around wearing the mask you might feel a little weird, until you experience a disturbing illuminati ritual.
CarolineOctober 8, 2015
Best NYC insider tip - never seen before such a stunning theatre performance!!! Enjoy the suprise of this shakespeare interactive show.
Anna K.March 12, 2016
Outstanding interactive theatrical experience. Just do it. Try not to bring anything but ID and credit card; you will need your maneuverability. Don't be afraid to be overdressed, but dress comfy.
Elena FedinaJanuary 4, 2015
Incredible experience! I was stumbling around at first, but then saw the actors, and everything changed. It reminded me of a scavenger hunt for new clues and for actors. Amazing place and play!
The Corcoran GroupOctober 11, 2013
Sleep No More is an unforgettable experience that's well worth the money. Be prepared to be split off from the group that you come with - the best way to experience it is alone.
Jason StackSeptember 10, 2014
What an experience! You won't be able to explore everything and follow every actor during the three hour time slot, but be open to forging your own ghost-like path throughout the McKittrick.
George JosephMay 9, 2015
One of the most exhilarating experiences I've ever encountered. Absolutely loved Sleep No More. Don't hesitate to open drawers, steal candy, and leave your group/partner to explore the place alone.
Jeffrey GlueckJune 16, 2017
Sleep No More a surreal interactive experience. They try to make it intimidating but it's not scary, just eerie. Tip is to follow some of the actors but good luck understanding the silent narrative.
NicoleNovember 10, 2012
Mind-blowingly awesome. Can't wait to go again! A MUST-see. Incredibly exhilarating. If you go w a group split up in pairs or explore alone. Be bold. And move quickly.
Tiziana ROctober 24, 2013
Wander off on your own...chase the actors, hope they pull you into a scene! Eat the candy in the candy shop:D. Go into the enchanted forest and catch the dance scene...it's magical and surreal!
Limité MagazineApril 26, 2014
If you're going for the 1st time, don't do any research. Go in with as little knowledge as possible and just enjoy the experience. Then plan your next visit, because you'll have to do it again.
Victoria I.January 23, 2017
Awesome and absolutely wonderful experience, nothing even to compare with. Throw away all you Broadway tickets and get there!
Anna HyclakJune 26, 2013
Hands down, one of the coolest experiences I've had in New York. Shakespeare meets "Eyes Wide Shut" meets a 1920s speakeasy. Don't let the actors talk you into absinthe shots, whatever you do.
Chrisann RauschenbachNovember 10, 2012
Ladies, do not wear high heels. You will be climbing and sometimes running up and down stairs. I went with a friend and we got separated early on. This is a GOOD thing! Don't be afraid to go it alone.
Auds BallAugust 19, 2011
Totally amazing experience. I highly recommend following the actors (if you can keep up) and let yourself go. Definitely don't be afraid to interact and be apart of the show, you won't regret it.
Michael P.November 27, 2014
Sleep No More is an awesome experience. Make sure you separate from your group. It's a lot more fun exploring on your own and being able to follow the scenes you want.
DoubleDeuceJanuary 3, 2023
This is the home of Sleep No More...but there are other shows and venues inside and on the rooftop so be sure to check throughout the year for what is available.
Denise KocheJuly 8, 2015
Best experience in my life so far. Can tell, everyone needs to check it out.
Rick van 't Wout HoflandJune 17, 2016
Check out "Sleep No More" and have dinner in "The Heath" afterwards! An experience of a lifetime, guaranteed :))
Jessica MonahanSeptember 27, 2011
The set is flat out incredible. Don't be afraid to touch props, open doors. It's all there to explore and they haven't overlooked a single detail. The performance is less acting & more dance/movement.
Rachel HarrisApril 20, 2018
The food his I great, well made and tasty. The drinks are great as well, unique specialty drinks that keep you coming back for more.
RyanJanuary 13, 2013
If you take some candy from the candy shop, open the cash register and leave some money. Or... open the register and take the monies and run! :D
Ceci HefJuly 22, 2016
Follow the actors to get your one to one. And be careful if you are the first one to step out of the elevator!
Galileo GalileiMarch 12, 2011
Check out all doors & closets (you might just find a macabre Narnia) & eat some candy in the shop. Try to spend time alone with anyone unmasked. Decompress momentarily & find bathrooms in bar area.

If you like this play, the next step is going to "then she fell" in Brooklyn where immersive theater gets intimate!
Nikki GoldsteinMay 17, 2012
To get pulled into one-on-one scenes, stay as close to the actors as possible and keep your own body language open (no crossed arms, for ex). So worthwhile!

The most unique theater experience you'll have in NYC. If you're not there for the show, come by for live music at the bar after 10:30.
Sandra van LintMay 10, 2017
Loved the may fair masquerade! Craziest party I've been to in NY!! Was amazing :)
Andrey KlenJuly 2, 2016
Just find Macbeth and follow him everywhere. The details in interior and props is amazing.
Robert HöhneMay 14, 2017
Fantastic experience. Also enjoy drinks and the jazz band afterwards.
Margaret MarksMay 21, 2013
Don't wear heels, and don't bring a purse - you'll have to check it at the door. The bar and music are great!
James BatesSeptember 27, 2016
If watching Sleep No More, don't return to the bar before going to the lower floors too. I missed the ending. Doh!
Ale VillarrealJuly 5, 2017
Amazing, beautiful, super experience. Great ambience, great music, unimaginable... a must experience
Lenny GalloSeptember 13, 2011
Probably the single most ambitious production I've ever seen. Amazing sets and cute actors, but even those who are experts in the Shakespeare play will find this hard to follow.
Peter OrlovNovember 26, 2011
A great tip in life generally, applies doubly tonight: follow the naked guy.
natalie kayApril 20, 2016
Wear comfortable clothes & shoes. Fortune follows the bold.
Dan AlmarieiAugust 5, 2011
An amazing dream (someone's else dream), interactive, mysterious, mystical, voyeuristic, erotic and beautiful! If you can go don't miss it! Is one life time experience.
Darwin PerrierDecember 25, 2017
An amazing experience. It's worth knowing the story of Macbeth before you go. Don't be afraid to be separated from your group.
Kelsey✨November 23, 2019
Be sure to reserve a table (rather than do GA) for Bartschland Follies✨
