Considering the type of theatre it is. I think its highly likely never to re open

Based on these reactions, I can’t tell if this thread is a joke or not, but I’ll bite anyway:

There was a thread asking a similar question a few months ago, and I was saying that it depends a lot on their social distancing tactics. In a way, it’s actually EASIER for an immersive show to employ social distancing, because the audience has the freedom to move around. Unlike a traditional theatre, where people have to sit next to each other in fixed seats. But they would have to lower their capacity, and it’s a question of whether they can afford to do that and still meet their running costs.

Also, I’m not sure what the deal is with the McKittrick. Do they own it? Or are they renting it? If they’re renting it, do the owners have any other intentions for it if Sleep No More were to close? Or would it just sit empty? If they can’t use the building for anything else. I guess they could sell the land and build apartments or retail. I really just don’t know. But my point is that, depending on the circumstances, whoever owns the McKittrick just might be willing to let them wait it out, and they might strike a deal with them regarding rent.

Might be a good time for them to refresh the show? I love the show but can't imagine going back again unless they change it up a bit.
