Immersive Theater Show 'Sleep No More' to Close after 13-Year Run in NYC in January

"Sleep No More" to conclude after welcoming over 2 million visitors across 5,000 performances, marking the end of the Macbeth-inspired immersive experience created by British theater troupe Punchdrunk.

Immersive theatre 'Sleep No More', inspired by Shakespeare's Macbeth, will close after 13 years and 5,000 performances in New York City in January.
The show, which attracted over two million visitors, was produced by British theatre troupe Punchdrunk and featured approximately 25 performers acting out wordless scenes.
Housed in the fictional McKittrick Hotel, the show transformed three vacant warehouses in NYC into a multi-venue dining, nightlife and entertainment destination, replete with a rooftop garden restaurant and stages featuring renowned artists.
Guests touring the Hotel's 100 rooms could explore various settings, from infirmaries to libraries and laundries, with decorative details in each room aiming to intensify the immersive experience.
An associated production in Shanghai has been running for seven years, attracting international audiences to the immersive theatre experience.
Rising production costs and a determination not to increase ticket prices have contributed to the decision to close the show, with the fate of the McKittrick Hotel venue remaining uncertain.
