Sleep No More is AMAZING — Page 2

Since its mostly sold out through the end of April, what do you think the chances are that they'll extend?

---

Practically every show at every time is already sold out thru the end of April. I think it's safe to assume they have a hit on their hands. You would think they'd want to keep the momentum going and announce if they're planning to extend.

ETA: Well... actually, not true. Guess I was looking primarily at Friday and Saturday nights, which are mostly completely sold out. Also just about every night at 7pm. If I get tickets, I want them for 7pm, and preferably on a Friday night. So I'll wait to see if they extend. Something tells me, they will. Can't believe they would have gone through the trouble of converting such a large space for a six week run.

i think the reason tickets aren't completely sold out is the price. in boston it was something like $30. here it is $75.

I think people have been slow to catch on to what this is. I confess it wasn't really on my radar until last week when I was suddenly barraged by people who had been and couldn't stop talking about it.

For those who have seen it... any advantage or disadvantage to seeing the 11pm show as opposed to the 7pm show on the weekends? Also, is there any way of telling what floor you're on or where you're at in the building? Oh yeah... and what time's the orgy and how do you find it???

"They rely on word of mouth, with mine being bigger than usual in the past year."

Oh how that qualifier protects you from witchy comments.

I am aching to go again myself. To catch other aspects. To relive others. What freaking magic.

I have a few friends who were some of the many volunteers that helped load in the show. They said the producers spent millions of dollars on this production, and that it'd have to run much longer than the initial run to turn any kind of profit.

I imagine we'll see more dates on sale when the reviews come out. Does anyone recall when the official opening is? I remember they did set one.

according to Felix after the show tonight, the show opens in 2 weeks (if that is exact, then it would be right around april 6th).

in the bar when the show was over tonight i think i heard about 10 different people say they have to come back to see it again. i'm sure many more were thinking the same thing. that "certain percentage" you're talking about, namo, is definitely rising.

I go tonight! I'm a little nervous because I've tried to preserve as much of the mystery as possible and that's not me at all, but I'm SUPER excited. I haven't had a chance to sit down and read Macbeth, but hopefully I'll be okay just knowing the basic storyline. I'm already kind of sad about the possibility of feeling like I desperately want to see it again and not being able to!

I've seen the show multiple times as a steward, and am completely in love. It's crazy how detailed the set is. I've noticed that most people enjoy it, as long as they've done their homework and know that it's a non-traditional piece. Be prepared. I highly recommend staying for the whole show.

I hear a lot of people discussing the show, and hear way more people planning to come back than who dislike it. There are SO many people who travel to see the show from Boston, it's really neat. It is what you make of it. I do want to reiterate what it says on the ticket purchasing page: Wear sensible shoes. Seriously.

I do recommend stewarding if you're interested in cheap ways to see the show. What you see depends on where you're stationed, but two shifts (almost) pays for a ticket. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2HVH8Y5

Just went last night. Frickin' Diabolical!! ( some times literally!!) It is a surreal experience w only a few of the audience forgetting they don't participate they observe! ( except when THEY reach out to u) The masks lend a certain element of disconnection. U r anonymous and it is your presence that really creates the final piece of the enviorment. I can totally see where the $$ was spent on. DETAIL!!!!

FYI's coat check is now $3.00 , I suggest a pre show libation @ the bar b4 u start 2 loosen up and definatly one ( at least) after. Good fitting shoes u can walk in. There is no 6th floor so don't waste time trying. Repeat the floors u walk on again and again and again and again.(3, 4, 5) think I did it close to 10 times and still didn't catch it all, tho I saw alot. Please don't steal masks- saw a few sneaked out. There r washrooms on each floor if u r in real need a steward can help but thats all they can do- no guidance. As it gets closer to the end & people leave a floor the stewards will block entrance please don't fight w them.

Not a real spoiler but.....


as it gets closer to 10 pm try to make your way to the "ballrm"




This as been the high point of my trip, thanks for the tip Namo m'boy!
