Closing
edit
Twilo had been under pressure to close from then-MayorRudy Giulianiever since the launch of his controversialquality-of-life campaign.[citation needed]Still, the club managed to hold onto its cabaret license until early 2001, when a spate of previous allegations re-surfaced in connection with a claim by city authorities that the club had misused private ambulances to hide victims ofdrug overdoses.[2]Club management claimed that the ambulance was obtained by recommendation of the city.
The space was reused as various other nightclubs over the following years, including Spirit and B.E.D., the latter of which shuttered in 2007 shortly after an incident where managerGranville Adamspushed Orlando Valle to his death down the elevator shaft.[3][4]In 2011, the space was bought by immersive theater company Emursive as the home ofSleep No More.[5]
