Stars in the Night

See it if A painful immersive which is barely that. Staging around super loud trains. Horrible scenes that make no sense. Couldn’t wait to leave.

Don't see it if I love immersive and am always rooting for it. The is a flawed concept and more tragic execution. Do not see it.

See it if Great spiked apple cider, small cocktail & cheese plate. Explore DUMBO w/fun vignettes. Last scenes w/adultery & zany real estate agent fun!

Don't see it if You're not in the mood to interact with characters, you don't want to take a "swig" of whiskey. But why not? Enjoy yourself!!

See it if you’re up for a local nighttime activity w/ actors, a cool apartment in a picturesque area, stiff drinks; if ticket price isn't prohibitive.

Don't see it if you can’t remember characters’ names; expect an amazing script or exotic, imaginary setting. Performances are low key, conversational.

Also Maybe more “site specific” than completely immersive since it’s not like you’re navigating a cavernous and elaborate set that’s very different from the spaces that already exist in Brooklyn. Audience cap at 12 means everyone’s very friendly and attentive—good company. Good actors and the ambiance is well controlled. The script is just ok.

I wouldn’t go into this expecting great theater. You might think of it as a more serious take on a haunted house tour—a lot of the monologues are ghostly.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to explore Dumbo and get a little bit of history of the area. or if you like being asked questions by actors and participating.

Don't see it if you don't like being asked questions, don't like walking, or are expecting a clear plot with some sort of resolution.

See it if Don’t waste your time or money! Nothing to even discuss or talk about. A waste of an evening!!! What was this interactive show about?

Don't see it if You think you are in for a memorable experience. You are NOT! What a disappointment. I have been to interactive shows.This was the worst!

See it if i love immersive theatre. it was awesome to see dumbo in a new way. there were moments i really liked. it was unique and mostly fun

Don't see it if overall i didn't take anything away from this story. it was very confusing. some moments were laughable for the wrong reasons.

See it if You're ok not understanding the characters you're watching or who they are. The final "scenes" are what I wish the whole show was like.

Don't see it if You're expecting anything on par with Then She Fell, Sleep No More etc. The characters are ill-developed and the sound of the train is LOUD.

See it if You're a fan of unique theatrical experiences and you can get a very cheap ticket.

Don't see it if You're expecting an immersive show similar to Punchdrunk or Third Rail's stuff. Or if the weather's bad that night.

Also This is billed as intimate and immersive. I'll give it the former. Our group was just seven people. But it's definitely not immersive. Immersive implies that the show envelops you. This is just a meandering play where you walk from one character to another. The dramatic backdrop of the Manhattan Bridge/East River is never used for anything. I couldn't hear some of the actors and I am a young person with good hearing.

The final 3rd was tremendous, but everything preceding it was too long, uninvolving, and kind of pointless. The story that you could discern was run of the mill. Is this really what passes for immersive theatre in Los Angeles?

Some in our group had spent $125 for 80 minutes where very little happened. I would've been pissed if I spent that much.... Read more Read less

See it if You love immersive theater and nothing else is playing

Don't see it if You are expecting a linear plot or even an ending.

Also Has some really nice moments but makes little sense.

See it if you have never seen an immersive show before, and have low expectations.

Don't see it if you have ever been to an immersive performance. Not worth the money.

See it if honestly probably not worth seeing - the best part was going to a nicely decorated/interesting apartment in Dumbo

Don't see it if I was expecting more from an immersive theater experience, and this one had a very cliched plot and kind of a limited story and acting.

See it if you want to explore an immersive-lite dark family drama piece, exploring some great DUMBO locations, there's a lot to think about afterward

Don't see it if you dislike non-traditional work or want a story that is fully fleshed out and easy to follow. Must be able to walk around.

Also Glad to have more immersive work here in NYC, but this felt like only part of the show. A lot of characters and it's your job to connect the dots, but it didn't feel like there was a particularly satisfying conclusion or solution to it all. At the end our group just stood around, unsure whether it was over or not.

Thought a lot about the piece on the journey home, piecing it all together, working out some of the metaphors and symbolism, but it felt like it was trying very hard to be profound without a whole lot to back it up.

The characters all perform well, though the brevity of each interaction is disappointing. Not entirely sure how 'immersive' this is in the sense of audience interaction/agency. Not sure what the 'role' of the audience is either.

Certainly, don't go into this expecting a Sleep No More or Then She Fell, but for an immersive-lite production, it has an interesting family drama story to share in an intimate state, with some dark themes. Do hope it finds success.... Read more Read less
