Claws is creepy and well-acted, but leaves questions Claws is creepy and well-acted. I was thoroughly engaged the whole time and would certainly recommend it. There are 2 things that could have improved it for me though. I had some questions after the show about things that happened, but I don't know of any way to ask those of the creative team. I also wish I'd known how personal it could get. Because I didn't know, I was reluctant to answer personal questions, and that ended up hindering the resolution of the show--if I'd somehow known that, I would have been more open/honest about those questions.

I absolutely loved the Claws… I absolutely loved the Claws experience. I wasn’t exactly sure what was going to be going into it and I think that made it more exciting. The acting was incredible, it was genuinely creepy and I only wish it had gone on longer. How it plays out is all up to you, the interaction is everything. I can’t wait until the next one.

Phenomenal! Claws was extraordinary! An ingenious, gripping and fiercely innovative theatrical experience like nothing I’ve ever encountered before. Clever writing and a jaw-droppingly brilliant performance by the actor, Joel Meyers. If you’re the kind of person who goes to immersive theatre secretly hoping to be blessed with even the briefest moment that is the heart pounding, intense delight of a one-on-one performance, this is for you. And if you’ve got no idea what I’m talking about, it’s for you also - I can’t imagine anyone not being thrilled, charmed and utterly transported by this unique production.

Claws was ENTHRALLING Claws was an incredible immersive performance, based on a very simple pretense. I was utterly absorbed, and as with all good horror, utterly devastated by the ending. I am usually very nervous about immersive/interactive experiences, but the acting and soundscaping pulled me in completely- which was my ultimate downfall. I got tricked, and the guilt will haunt me for a while. All told, an awesome horror experience, and I look forward to the next one! Well worth the money for the ticket, and a tip to your performer!

This experience is one I'd love to do… This experience is one I'd love to do again! Would recommend it to anyone who wants that last push! The experience is personal and left me thinking about it to this day even and the actor did an amazing job!
