“Sleep No More”, the immersive experience that revolutionized the theater scene, has announced its final presentation. The influential site-specific show will close following the matinee performance on January 5, 2025, after 14 years at the McKittrick Hotel.

“Sleep No More” has been threatening to quit for about a year. It originally announced that it would end its performances on January 28, 2024, but due to popular demand, several additional extensions were announced.

Created by Punchdrunk and produced by Emursive, whose co-founders include Jonathan Hochwald and Arthur Karpati, in association with Rebecca Gold Productions, “Sleep No More” began previews on March 7, 2011. When it takes a final bow, the show will have played before more than two million attendees.

“We are filled with 14 years of memories and emotions as we come to the end of this extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime creative journey,” Emursive’s Hochwald and Karpati said in a statement. “In the meantime, the hotel’s doors remain open to the public for the final 75 performances.”

In a joint statement, Punchdrunk leaders Felix Barrett and Maxine Doyle said: “We are incredibly proud of the artistic community that ‘Sleep No More’ has nurtured and the many different audiences it has loved in New York. Fourteen years ago, we would never have imagined the amazing journey this show has been on. It has had an immeasurable impact on all of us and will live in our hearts, seep through our skin and sleep in the depths of our imaginations. “We are eternally grateful to everyone involved in this production.”

Beyond “Sleep No More,” the McKittrick Hotel has become a multi-venue entertainment, nightlife and dining destination. The hotel’s various stages have hosted artists such as Mumford and Sons, Sting, Jon Batiste, Brandi Carlisle, Dua Lipa, Josh Groban, Leslie Odom Jr. and Jennifer Holliday.

The McKittrick Hotel has also been the site of everything from surreal parties and masquerade balls to movie premieres, Broadway openings, music festivals, benefit galas and magic shows. It has showcased works from the National Theater of Scotland, transferred from London theaters and the Edinburgh Festival, and has become the city’s go-to venue for the legendary Halloween, New Year’s Eve, Mayfair and Midsommar celebrations.
