Oh dear. I couldn't stomach spending that much during the first presale, but felt major FOMO so grabbed a ticket during the second. Didn't even consider a haunted house experience. I loved Sleep No More, but have no interest in jump scares!!

Kad said: "I've heard that they have yet to start audience testing. Not 100% sure how true that is, but I suspect the first several performance days will be... wonky."

 

They have over 2.5 weeks to go until first preview.  They'll be doing multiple "dress runs" for "friends and family" over the last few days of tech.

One cast member mentions that they love horror movies and haunted houses, and suddenly Masquerade is a haunted house? Y’all love to run to the farthest extremes.

It’s not going to be a haunted house. It’s immersive theatre, so of course it’s going to be more intense than sitting in a stationary seat. The story is, for all intents and purposes, a ghost story of sorts, so it makes sense. But I think anyone anticipating jump scares or anything like that can probably rest easy. If you could handle Sleep No More, my gut says you’ll be able to handle Masquerade.
