Are we all just supposed to know what you're talking about? A little info would be nice.

MMJ went what appear like 2 nights in a row in NYC around the PHJB show

Honestly, all I know is that it's an interactive play...of sorts...that combines MacBeth with Alfred Hitchcock with Stanley Kubrick...honestly, not a ton of info. out there

An interactive play based on Macbeth or other Shakespeare works.  The audience wears masks and follows a character through an old hotel.  The boys in MMJ were raving about it nonstop on Twitter the night before the Preservation Hall show at Carnegie.

Sounds cool, I'm a fan of Hitchcock and Kubrick but never got into Shakespear.

The show has been killing it....sold out every single night of the week and both shows (2 shows on weekends).  So gist is, it's a 100 room 'hotel', you can't see everything while you're there because everything occurs simultaneously, and there files and cabinets you can explore, secret rooms, and all sorts of other craziness.  Watch some of the youtube reviews, it sounds unlike anything else.  Any NYCers or locals should definitely consider it, they extended it an additional 2 weeks but it's hard to tell when it will officially end.

Will do. I expect weirdness. All of the reviews I've read say to not expect to stay with the people you come with. I'm worried my girl will have a panic attack if we get split up, Haha.
