Sleep No More resumes performances at the McKittrick Hotel from October 4, continuing its open-ended run. A reopening date has been confirmed for the transformed Macbeth retelling of Sleep No More. Speaking of: the show's 10-year anniversary has come and gone while the theater went dark-but it's never too late to properly celebrate. Sleep No More will now resume performances February 14, 2022. In fact, Broadway World reported that the "Broadway League mask guidance will indeed stay in place through April 30, 2022."įor what it's worth, we're excited to be able to immerse ourselves in the Macbeth-like experience that Punchdrunk has been hosting since 2011. What that means on a practical level has yet to be seen (more on that right here), but if the folks behind Sleep No More were to follow directions by other theater productions around town, it would seem that masks aren't really going anywhere. The resumption of the critically acclaimed show comes at the heels of Governor Kathy Hochul's decision to lift the mask mandate across the state starting today.
Industrial-size dehumidifiers have been installed, for example, and the ventilation system has been updated overall as well. Still inside Chelsea's McKittrick Hotel, the production has also undergone some space-related changes. The Times also reveals that, moving forward, entering audience members will be asked to "please give your fellow patrons and the residents a bit of breathing room and keep a respectful distance." To put it simply: everyone try to stay six feet apart. The New York Times reports that the white "pointy" masks that Punchdrunk, the company that created the show, is known for will give way to "smoother, more streamlined" ones that "cut above the nose and across the cheekbones." According to the outlet, the new face shields are intended to be worn with a white KN95 mask-which the staff will distribute at the door-and are therefore shaped in particular ways. If you decide to purchase a ticket to anything other than the earliest time slot, know that you will be missing out on the very beginning of the story. Let's start with the infamous face coverings that have become synonymous with the interactive production. SLEEP NO MORE is an immersive adaptation of Macbeth with a run time of about three hours. The production went dark in March of 2020 and-although performances were scheduled to resume last October-the Delta variant lengthen the hiatus period. Finally, on February 14, Sleep No More will once again welcome ticket holders-albeit with new protocols and new masks in place. Sleep No More, one of the largest and most well-known immersive theater experiences in New York, is officially opening up to guests again after a nearly two-year-long closure.
