Everything you need to know about Sleep No More
Sleep No More is one of New York’s most iconic immersive experiences- there’s really nothing else quite like it! See the photo carousel for a description of the experience and see below for some of my top tips:
1️⃣ Explore! Sleep No More allows audiences to freely explore 5 highly-themed floors of the iconic McKittrick Hotel. You may find yourself in a hospital, a forrest, a candy store, a ballroom and so many other locations I won’t spoil for you. The best part of the experience is that feeling of exploration and discovery, and there are so many secrets to find.
2️⃣ Wear a watch! It is told in 3 cycles, you will enter the hotel in the middle of the first cycle, with the cycle resetting on the hour and finally culminating in a big finale at the end of the third cycle. A watch will help you orient yourself in the experience and the cycle and help you better manage your time.
3️⃣ Wear comfortable shoes! I was not prepared for how much running would be involved in this show! It’s 5 floors, and you are constantly running up and down flights of steps and running after performers. So dress comfortably! (Bonus tip: it gets pretty hot in there, so don’t dress too warmly!)
4️⃣ There is no “wrong” way to do Sleep No More! Some people prefer to pick one actor and follow them for the entire time, while others prefer to freely wonder and just see what they stumble across. Both methods can be rewarding, so it’s all up to your personal preference!
5️⃣ Get there early! Tickets are general admission (unless you get the Premium tickets), so be sure to get there early. The earlier you get there, the earlier you will get in and the more time you will have in the experience. I recommend 30 minutes before the first entry time (you can ignore the entry time you signed up for when you bought your ticket).
6️⃣ Go soon! Sleep No More is currently set to close at the end of March, and tickets for the final months of performances have been going fast. I definitely recommend booking soon and booking early!

Sleep No More, running at the McKittrick Hotel, reimagines Shakespeare's Macbeth through an innovative immersive performance. Patrons don iconic white masks while actors remain unmasked, blurring the line between audience and performer. This unique format encourages exploration across its five intricately designed floors, filled with hidden surprises and thematic environments from a candy shop to a hospital. While attending, be prepared to engage physically and emotionally. Each of the three cycles of the performance reveals different narrative layers through dance and movement, emphasizing atmosphere over linear storytelling. Keep an eye on the schedule and arrive early to maximize your experience. As the show prepares for a possible closure, securing tickets soon is paramount given the fast-selling availability. For those eager for a theatrical adventure unlike any other, attending Sleep No More promises a transformative night in New York City.
