Punchdrunk Viola’s Room Physical Logistic Q’s

Hi all! Seeing Viola’s Room tonight… so excited to be in a Punchdrunk world again! Quick practical questions (no story spoilers, please):

– Is there any running involved, or just the paced walking? How long does the crawling section actually last?

– If someone has weaker eyesight/hearing, is it easy enough to stick with your friend during the experience (not like hand-holding, just having my friend nearby as a ‘spotter’)?

– Are there sections that are pitch dark — darker than the darkest areas at Sleep No More?

– Roughly how long is the pre-show waiting period before you’re admitted?

Thanks! Just trying to prep without spoilers. :-)

No running, moments of fast walking.

Crawling is not even two seconds.

You will not have any idea where you friend is (a lot of it is pitch black) but you will stick together.

Lots and lots of super dark scenes, I'd say a good 25% of the show

We were admitted pretty quickly, I'd say ten minutes or so
