PURGATORIO Plays The Box 10/15-31
Simon Hammerstein and Randy Weiner, founding partners of famed downtown hotspot The Box, today announced their newest venture, Purgatorio, a nightmare fantasyland in the heart of Times Square, created especially for Halloween season.
Combining the energy and glamour of a world-class nightclub with the spectacle and illusion of the theater, Purgatorio will offer an interactive Halloween experience unlike anything seen before in New York nightlife. Adults 21 and over will be immersed in a multi-level world of macabre fantasy complete with interactive variety acts and installations, all set in a dynamic environment that is at once frightening, erotic and whimsical. Purgatorio will take over the tri-level, 15,000 square foot nightclub space at 268 W. 47th Street from October 15 through October 31 only.
"We want to invite our guests to live in a strange and sexy world for a night. We want to give people the chance to dance, drink and party the night away in an environment designed to thrill," Mr. Weiner said.
Purgatorio features production/scenic design by David Korins, costume design by Emilio Sosa, lighting design by Evan Morris and is being presented by CBS Radio's New York stations.
Regular tickets for Purgatorio range from $39.99 to $59.99. VIP tickets range from $59.99 to $79.99 and include two complimentary beverages and preferred access.
