The British theater company Punchdrunk plans to bring “Sleep No More,” its site-specific Hitchcock-Shakespeare mash-up, to the former McKittrick Hotel building on West 27th Street in Chelsea this spring.In the interactive piece, audience members wear masks and wander around a series of rooms watching wordless dance and musical tableaus based on “Macbeth” (with a Bernard Herrmann score). When the show was produced in collaboration in 2009 with the American Repertory Theater in an old school in Brookline, Mass., rooms throughout the building were turned into scenes from “Macbeth”: actors moved giant trees around the gymnasium; Lady Macbeth went mad inside a classroom; Banquo’s ghost appeared on a stage; dancers ran through the hallways.

super awesome.

“Queen of the Night,” very loosely based on Mozart’s “Magic Flute,” combines and amplifies the elements of his previous productions and throws in a few more for good measure. There’s a bit of opera, a lot of rock ’n’ roll, plenty of circus and magic, and hefty servings of food and drink, interwoven with a series of sacred and profane rituals that the audience experiences, as it were, on the move.
