![]() I have no freaking clue what is going on.(TIP: Don’t worry, everyone gets a new mask since you are allowed to keep it afterwards.) I hate to think how many people have sweated in this thing. Oh I certainly hope that this mask has been sanitised.My nose is sweating and it keeps slipping off my face. This mask is starting to get uncomfortable.They can’t recognise us anyway since we are all supposed to wear masks throughout the whole journey. I don’t care if they get annoyed with us. We are just going to follow the other 2 people in front of us.And what’s with these scary looking sets? Are you sure we are not in a haunted house? (She said she felt her arm went numb after a while because I was gripping it so strongly. Where is this elevator bringing us to? I’d better cling on to my friend. And the person at the place said no one was going to come out and scare us. I paid freaking 90 bucks to be scared out of my wits!!! WHY!? I’m going to turn back now and wait for my friend somewhere. All these dark corridors are scaring the hell out of me. Why do I feel like we are going into a haunted house?.Also, you are not allowed to hold anything in your hand, so be sure to wear something with pocket so you can carry your phone and credit card around at least.) And four dollars for a bag, that’s a rip-off! (Tip: remember to travel light that day and consolidate your bags. So clearly that I decided to share some of them with you which could possibly be useful in case you are still deciding whether to go for it or not. Plus, you are not allowed to talk throughout the whole thing, which probably explained why I could hear all my thoughts very clearly. ![]() Macbeth storyline isn’t the most cheerful in the first place, and when being put in a contemporary setting, it could get rather creepy. The downside of this was that I was not mentally prepared of what was to come. The upside of this was that I went in not knowing what to expect and was pretty blown away by the whole experience by the end of it. I did not do much research before going to the play, apart from reading up on the story of Macbeth. It’s got a bedroom, a ballroom, a bar, etc, very much like a hotel, except you can’t stay in there, and trust me, you wouldn’t want to. It is an old warehouse which has been converted into five-storey sets that mimic the structure of a hotel. Don’t be misled by the name though – the McKittrick Hotel is no hotel. The play is located at the McKittrick Hotel. We decided to splurge some money and get tickets for Sleep No More, an interactive theatrical experience based on the tragic story of Macbeth by William Shakespeare. In short, if you are thinking of applying, have an exit strategy, because working here for too long will drive you into the ground.On my last trip in NYC, my friend and I decided to be a bit more cultured after practically eating our way through Manhattan and Brooklyn for a few days in a row. Once you are scheduled it is solely your responsibility to find coverage, which is nearly impossible due to everyone else's terrible schedules as well. There is only one manager in charge of scheduling who refuses to take advanced requests not to be scheduled, and ignores requests to change scheduling even as far as half a year in advance. ![]() The main draw of working here is the flexible hours, which is extremely beneficial to anyone working a day job or pursuing a career in the performing arts, but the scheduling is abysmal. Labor laws are completely ignored, the safety of patrons and employees are disregarded in favor of earning the producers more money (which is unnecessary, the show is fantastically successful and the producers are already earning a shocking amount of revenue) and employees can expect to be verbally harassed and abused on a daily basis. However, working in the building is a truly miserable experience. ![]() It's innovative, sexy, and exciting, and could very well be the future of theatre. SLEEP NO MORE is an absolutely astounding show. ![]()
