Seeing You

Did you end up seeing the dress rehearsal? I was looking forward to seeing the May 7th preview, but found out that it was cancelled due to a "persisting power issue" in the space.

Bumping this...anyone seen it yet?

I saw this on Friday night. I mostly enjoyed it. I'd rank it higher than the other immersive show that's out there right now, Ghost Light. 

The setup is wartime (WW2) Hoboken for a setting and I liked the use of war time paranoia and racism). 

When you walk in it is essentially an open warehouse space with a ton of little scenes happening and you can work you way around to ones that interest you. This is on a much lower budget than sleep no more and I found it a bit overwhelming. There were multiple scenes happening at once and since things were not separated like sleep no more I found it hard to focus. 

I liked the town hall set up that brings everyone together. from there you chose to either donate blood or go to boot camp. I did the blood section and wound up involved in amusing radiation exercise. Overall if you liked the one on one opportunities of sleep no more there aren't that many opportunities for them. Eventually everyone winds up together seeing the same thing. There are some beautiful dance scenes, including an impressive one with a table. I wished they hadn't used modern music as it took me out of the time period they were going for.

Overall it's a nice show, and entertaining, but I don't feel compelled to go back and see it again like Sleep No More. There is no bar or after show place to go so they don't have a nightlife component. FYI, be very careful with what you wear as there is some fake blood involved that can stain!
