Sleep No More is AMAZING — Page 27

Comfy clothes and she's for Sleep No More.

Thanks! I'm thinking jeans and a nice shirt and comfy shoes.

Yup, comfy shoes, nothing too fussy (be ready to run and climb stairs), and it's really hot in there, so stay cool. BE FEARLESS. If an actor puts out his/her hand to you, take it. That's how I ended up alone in a wardrobe, with my mask off, with a frantic woman reciting the opening lines of a novel to me and giving me a locket to "keep me safe."

It's a mind-blowing experience. I can't wait to go back.

The A/C tip is great. I'm thinking maybe I'll stash some yoga pants in my bag for the earlier shows and then change before SNM.

This sounds kind of terrifying and totally amazing. I'm super excited! And I will be adventurous and explore. :)

I've been 3 times and was obsessed with the show for weeks after my first time, wherein I somehow missed seeing ANY of the scenes involving nudity.

So my one tip is: If you're on the 4th floor, where the alley of shops is, and you hear some of the cast (the witches) hooting and hollering-- follow them! In general, follow cues from the lights or actor's voices-- if the lights brighten or the actors start grunting audibly, a scene worth watching is imminent.

Oh to be a virgin at SNM again....

I don't think it's going anywhere. I think they're trying to encourage people not to wait til later to see it (again).

Whhhaaaat? DUDE!

That. Was. Everything.

I just put a shirt on a naked stranger during theater. WHAT? Amazing.

Aside from the main Macbeth core story I have absolutely no idea what happened. I know who Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, Duncan, and Banquo were. I have absolutely no idea who anyone else was. It didn't detract from the experience at all but now I want to go back and try to figure out more!

Now a mini-rant. There was this couple I kept running into that was jabbering away whispering the whole time. They were around Macbeth and lady Macbeth a lot so it really detracted from some pretty intense things. It's not a haunted house people. I also think they should ban people from holding hands because it really gets in the way. End rant.

Evidently. But I only know that from going back and reading this board. I really had no idea what was going on except I did figure out the main Macbeth story. But I was totally OK with that. It made the experience more surreal.

I didn't mind the ones who were off to the sides holding hands. But there were 2 or 3 couples (including the talky talkersons) who were doing it midaction and would get in the way of actors or other patrons. That just irked me. I saw others holding hands, for example, as they watched from the sides of the mcduff bedroom. That is totally fine.

I'm still trying to remember everything I saw. I saw the witches' rave almost at the beginning. That was when I was first like "woah. This is doing to be something." I'm still not sure what all of it was. Like there was a guy frantically rocking a teddy bear in a cradle and I never saw how he fit into the rest of the story. I think I could see it dozens of times and still not see everything!)

Just wear comfy clothes and shoes (I usually go for jeans and sneakers), and don't be afraid to explore and follow where your instinct wants to take you. I've had the best experiences there that way. It's not scary if that's what is concerning you; no one jumps out at you or tries to scare you, but it is definitely eerie and suspenseful. Sleep No More is one of my favorite things, it's so much fun and different every time.

Thanks guys... I think my nerves come from the fact that I *know* it's impossible to see it all and I'm a little worried that I'll miss out the exciting/cool things going on. :-/

Also, any decent, not-too-expensive restaurant recommendations around the Hotel? I know about the spots inside, but they don't really appeal to all of the people in my group and seemed a little pricey.
