    Tickets were easy to buy, but I think the $12 service fee is a robbery We went to see Hypnotique at 10.30 on Friday. I am going to start with the end. The end is why I am giving four rather than five stars. It was muddled. Sometimes conventions are good, and the theater conventuin is that the entire cast comes out and bows to the applause of the grateful audience. The ending was so unclear that people just thought the performance would continue. It Is fun sho! If disorientation is your fetish, like mine, this show is for you! The creators did an excellent job with lights, sounds, and set changes to create a sense of disorientation, which I sincerely enjoyed. There are no seats, and the members of the audience follow the cast around from one dance or sing number to another The singer had a unique and powerful voice! All dancers were excellent, but one male dancer was a cut above the rest. The show doesn't have a straightforward plot like the Cirque De Solei model. There are hints here and there. The selection of songs and music was fantastic. Yes, there is nudity, but not nearly as much as expected. The men were dressed the entire time.

    What makes this a very interesting entertainment venue is that it takes place in an old historic hotel on multiple levels! It is a fascinating immersive experience in which you follow different actors throughout the hotel and watch as each plays out their roles and the plot evolves at a different pace. This modern take on Shakespeare's MacBeth comes alive through the talent and athleticism of each actor. Its theatre and modern dance melded into an engaging performance! You must check your coat and phones in as you enter so as not to disturb or disrupt the performance. So bring as little as you can. When you enter, you don a theatrical mask, which identifies you as part of the audience and not the cast. Absolute silence is paramount to enjoying this experience as there is no dialogue but rather mime, motion, and dance. But it is quite easy to follow along provided you're familiar with the tale of MacBeth! There is the speakeasy bar area where you wait sipping cocktails or mocktails and nosh on snacks till your group is called. Advanced tickets ordered online are required, so don't just roll up there without one or you'll be turned away. Highly recommend before they shut down for their final performance, although they've extended another month because it's so popular!

    Those who have a greater appreciation & love for the performing arts will have a better understanding of Sleep No More. (Ps I'm not a theatre geek/nerd- I say this lovingly.) It is an immersive theatrical experience located in the McKittrick hotel dispersed over five floors. No phones, no photography, no talking, no idea what is going on, keeps this production shrouded in mystery. It is set at a hefty price, however I can imagine these funds went into the lease expense, the elaborate settings, props and towards the actors/residents. The story line is an adaptation of MacBeth but set in the 1940s era. There is extremely low lighting throughout, which exudes the darkness & moodiness that is to prevail throughout the story as it unfolds. There is no verbal dialogue, but intense interpretive dancing. SNM is a mixture of immersive theatre via the stylings of film noir & Alfred Hitchcock like suspense in a choose your own adventure fashion. If you attend with someone else, prepare to narrate your own story line experience instead of hanging onto to each other. I will most guarantee you every person you came with, will have experienced different stories and places than you. You will see things they did not & vice versa. I found it extremely helpful to have read specific detailed yelper reviews. Having armed myself with some knowledge provided me a compass in which I had the confidence & capacity to dive into what could otherwise be potentially be viewed as theatrical chaos, had I not been somewhat informed prior. What's the process? You have to pick a time slot, pre-pay & commit about 3 consecutive hours, donn a mask that resembles a mash up of Phantom of the Opera & V is for Vendetta mask which is worn to distinguish the audience/guests from the actors/residents, which you get to keep. Mandatory coat check is $4 pp, no phones are permitted and must be turned off or silenced and placed in a neck pouch that is then locked to prevent access. This is integral for everybody's enjoyment and participation. Plus there is some nudity ( as in full frontal & back) . So prepare yourself. You briefly wait in the bar/lounge area to be called by your playing card number which is provided upon check in. After a quick intro you are led into a room where a scene unfolds. It ended in a "fighting" scene, this tussle became acrobatic gymnastics. I thought what in the West Side Story is going on?? But then my judgmental opinions dissipated and I was like, these are some talented, strong, good stamina , effective story telling individuals. Bravo! Give me more! So your cue to move along and that a scene has ended is when one of the actors exits scene. You choose to physically follow that character or not. But prepare for the diehard repeaters to feverishly barrel through the crowd with no regard to keep up with the actor. You either have to haul tail or just lose the crowd. It will happen. This is where you're in limbo left to explore the cool sets and pilfer aimlessly through papers and props. That is until you stumble upon another active scene or a character happens to zip past you, you follow them! Be ready for some serious cardio folks. You will be going up and down and all around and back again down those flights of steps. So wear comfortable shoes. Leave the high heels at home. As for attire. It was a wide range. You do what feels comfortable for you. There were people decked out in suits & evening dresses, those in business casual and plain casual- hoodies and jeans. You're most likely going to sweat and walk a lot and negotiate lots of steps so keep that in mind. Originally I had no idea, but from reading the reviews prior to attending, they do one on one's, which apparently is rare. The actor interacts with a specific individual they choose from the audience. So at one point one of my sisters and I were in a particular scene and the nurse honed in on her. I was thinking ohhh it's happening! . My sister was apprehensive & had no idea what was going on. But she was whisked away and the door closed behind them. I had to ask her what happened after our SNM session ended. Something to keep in mind, have situational awareness. If you see the actor acrobatic gymnastic in your direction, you best move. They are very dynamic and the show must go on. Ngl. I started to lose steam midway through, thoughts of Ground Hog Day & questioning whether this was a never ending story raced through my mind. LOL you're probably thinking this review is never ending if you made it this far.

    The mood and vibe is definitely set as soon as you enter the building. The experience you get here is like no other it's something close to an isekai anime but ur just a witness to the multiple storylines that they provide. If you're someone who enjoys thriller, dark, mystery, and silent genres this is something you would not want to miss out on. Tips: Definitely a lot of walking and running up stairs so make sure you wear sneakers. You get coat checked $4 per person and they lock ur phones. After you get ur tickets and are brought up to the bar where you wait for your number is called. Drinks were definitely interesting but also super pricey.
