Sleep No More, New York City’s immersive and unforgettable theatrical experience based on Macbeth, is set to close its doors on January 28, 2024 after an incredible run of over 5,000 performances and entertaining over 2 million spectators.

This unique show, which takes place in an intricately designed mock-hotel complex, has been a staple of the NYC theater scene since 2011 and has inspired a surge of immersive theater productions throughout the city. It’s bittersweet to see Sleep No More come to an end, but its legacy as a groundbreaking and immersive theater experience will live on.

Over the years, Sleep No More gained a stellar reputation and is widely regarded as one of the best shows in the city. It is not known why the show will be closing for good. However, usually this is commercially or artistically related. Nonetheless, NYC locals and tourists will certainly be missing out after January.

Sleep No More is a reimagining of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy Macbeth, told through a non-verbal and immersive performance. The show tells the story of Macbeth’s descent into madness, his rise to power, and his eventual downfall, but in a unique and interactive way that blurs the line between audience and performer. It’s an unforgettable and visually stunning experience.
