ALL PERFORMANCES NOW SOLD-OUT
New York, NY – Sleep No More has announced the schedule of events for their week-long Halloween masquerade. As previously announced, from October 26 through October 31, Sleep No More will host a series of exclusive evenings at the McKittrick Hotel (530 W 27th Street, New York, NY). Each of those nights will be shaped by its own unique concept, and will feature special acts inside the venue, following regularly scheduled performances.
Tickets for all five Masquerade evenings went on sale on Sunday, September 25. The public was made aware of the ticket availability via a targeted e-mail “telegram” sent to previous ticket-buyers. The overwhelming demand crashed the server almost instantaneously, and tickets for all five evenings sold out soon thereafter. A small number of Premium Access Tickets will be made available for each performance. Those interested in Premium Access Tickets should e-mail premiumaccess@sleepnomorenyc.com.

It has since gone on to win such theatrical honours as the Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience and the Obie Awards’ Special Citation for Design & Choreography.
