QUEEN OF THE NIGHT
Queen of the Night was an immersive theatrical dining experience inside of the Diamond Horseshoe in New York City that ran from 2013 to 2016. The experience was designed to be a unique combination of fine dining (Jennifer Rubell), circus (Les 7 Doigts de la Main) and high fashion (Thom Browne). Guests were led on a journey through a series of immersive environments, each with its own unique theme and storyline. Along the way, they were served a multi-course gourmet meal, and were entertained by a diverse cast of performers including acrobats, magicians, dancers and aerialists.
The Diamond Horseshoe, a legendary venue that has hosted performances by the likes of Frank Sinatra and The Rolling Stones, was transformed into an otherworldly setting for the show, with custom-designed sets and lighting that brought the immersive experience to life.
It remains a beloved and iconic example of immersive theater and experiential dining in New York City.
