Make sure to skim the MacBeth Sparknotes if you're not familiar with the play, it will make the experience richer (and help you determine who to follow!) - a completely unique experience!

Be sure to reserve a table (rather than do GA) for Bartschland Follies✨

Take your time and make sure to re-visit rooms you've already been in. Scrub up on Macbeth before you go. You can't possibly see it all in 3 hours, so make sure you go back!

Front-load your exploration (totally worth it, try every door!) but be sure to start following the actors in the second hour. There is some stuff going on that you do not want to miss.

The Friday 6PM show is a great start because it isn't packed! As everyone checked in through 7, fanning yourself and shoving each other became normal

If you want to see the rave scene, it's on the 4th floor. The room is at the end of a long, very narrow hallway. If you see the three witches on that floor, stock with them and they'll lead you there

Definitely take some time to strike up a conversation with the beautiful people in the bar, and have your fortune told if you're lucky. Your night may yet have twists.
Albert TanJuly 8, 2012
There are three cycles. The play starts in the hotel lobby (floor 2?), actors change clothes in the coat check room. It helps to follow MacBeth through an entire cycle to get the story.

If you go with a group, DO NOT try to stay together. It's best to have individual experiences, compare notes afterwards. Don't bring your phone in, don't check the time, don't try to see everything!
Lucas UllrichDecember 31, 2014
It's virtually impossible to follow the plot. And to rub it in your face they try to sell you their book for another 20$, so that you understand "how the individual scenes fit together".

If you love the 30's/speakeasy vibe you will be in heaven! I fun NYC night! Attend, wonder, and follow the actors tracks as quickly as you can!!

Get in there as soon as the show opens and don't go downstairs. Start at Lobby.
ericFebruary 10, 2014
All the candies are edible in the candy room. Try till your heart's content.
Ira BSeptember 21, 2014
Amazing performance and extremely interactive and in depth.
Lin HumphreyMarch 23, 2014
One of the best investments of an evening. Still haunted by this experience.
Cassie PMarch 25, 2014
So surreal! You have to experience it. Too difficult to explain. I would suggest reading a synopsis of Macbeth.
UzoNYCMay 25, 2014
If you can, do a little prep beforehand; otherwise, you end up watching the same things and missing all the nudity like I did. http://bit.ly/GS2GdH
Lana ChanSeptember 3, 2013
You can eat the candy in the 4th floor candy store. Go ahead and open the jars

It's true what they say, Sleep No More is an unparalleled experience. Prepare for one of the most memorable nights of your life.
AJ ParkerMay 5, 2012
Separate from your friends! It's easier to run after people and you can share your unique experience later. The red witch is my favorite - we got some one on one time and it was unforgettable!

The only other advice I can give you…wear comfortable shoes. Read more
Billy HenehanJune 16, 2011
Wear black & white and dress nicely. You'll look cooler and blend into the show. Leave the cargo shorts and day-glo shirt home.
George WeisgerberFebruary 3, 2013
Read Macbeth before you visit and book a reservation with an early "check in" time. It will be a long night. But totally worth it!!!
Kathryn YuMay 22, 2011

Wear good shoes, contact lenses instead of glasses, and dress lightly. Be prepared to go up and down several flights of stairs. And follow the man with the bloodstains on his clothing.

This Macbeth-meets-Kubrick interactive experience is the most exciting thing to happen in New York theater in a decade. For more local tips, follow us on 4sq or check out www.renhotels.com.

Don't try and stick together as a group. This is a solo adventure and it's obnoxious trying to navigate around couples holding hands walking around. You paid $95 for the ticket just go enjoy it.
KatNovember 27, 2011
Advice for the light at heart and feet; wear flats! You're in for some chasing. Try not to miss this very original play, you will not be disappointed!
Lupin CamposJanuary 23, 2015
This is like nothing I lived before! Get there as early as you can! Enjoy the whole show 3 times!

If you are going with friends make sure to lose each other as soon as you get inside - also don't forget to lose yourself too :)
Hany YoussefApril 24, 2017
Amazing performances, ambiance is so cool, staff r super friendly
Neha MalhotraFebruary 5, 2014
Look around. Follow the actors. Don't be afraid to look closely at anything.
ᴡ CardonMarch 15, 2012
3 hours of voyeuristic fantasy, superb acting and delicious set details. A truly unusual and remarkable experience!
ErinNovember 24, 2011
if you come with your significant other, please don't hold their hand the entire time...explore on your own and share stories in the Manderley Bar at the end.
NicoleJune 3, 2012
Eat the candy at the candy show, open every door and closet possible and wear comfortable shoes -you'll be doing a lot of running!
Kashmir HillMay 19, 2011
Crazy naked techno dance with bloody baby is on the top floor. Don't miss it. Also spend some tomer in the stables to see action near the end.
Allison JonesJune 8, 2013
I haven't been yet but the reviews are always terrific. Trippy and interesting. Again. a good moving alternative to a show.
Michelle TApril 17, 2011
Don't be freaked out if you're separated from your friends - it's a lot more fun to swap stories about what you each saw afterwards! Apparently the orgy scene was THE thing to see but I missed it :(
Aprile ElcichAugust 19, 2015
Incredible. Felt completely in another world. I loved going in with no idea what to expect!
JessicaLTL LTLAugust 17, 2011
Make sure you have $3 cash for coat and bag check. More $ if you wanna drink. You can't take your purse inside the show.
Charlene SmithAugust 8, 2011
Buy your ticket for 7pm. Extra time to wander around, and it's less crowded for that first hour.
Ellie RountreeApril 5, 2011
More trippy than you can imagine. Chase after the actors and hope they usher you into the secret house music room that includes a full male nude actor and fake bloody baby. I.n.s.a.n.e
Irina SimatovaNovember 2, 2015
Love this place! and recommend to everyone to visit the show!
EvgenyAugust 12, 2012
No matter where you've been/what you've seen, you've never experienced anything quite like this. Don't read reviews, don't hesitate, don't think about it - JUST FUCKING GO. You'll thank me later.
Nikki GayJune 8, 2014
Bring a napkin or handkerchief. Face gets sweaty under the mask you have to wear.
Linnea CovingtonOctober 28, 2011
There are five floors, don't miss them! I love the forests...(yes, plural).
Josh AFebruary 12, 2016
Good jazz, good absinthe, and an experience of a lifetime awaits.
DavApril 5, 2015
Weird. Go see it. Embrace the weirdness. Go early, get drunk off yummy cocktails beforehand. Enjoy!
Léna Le RollandAugust 28, 2013
I didn't know anything about it before doing it... You should do it. You've never seen something like this before. Believe me !
WillyMay 12, 2011
Don't be shy: if you find a story arc that interests you, don't be afraid to run after the actors. Hesitation lands you in the back of the queue.
