About the Show

A supernatural thriller where a couple confronts the haunting they brought with them.

After relocating from Chicago to London for a fresh start, James and Lou begin settling into their new home, but unease quickly takes hold. Lou becomes convinced that something is wrong within the apartment, and as unexplained disturbances intensify, the couple is forced to confront the possibility that the source of the haunting lies not in the place itself, but within their own lives and histories.

Inspired by the Paranormal Activity franchise, the stage production presents a new standalone story adapted for live theatre. Following runs in Chicago, Los Angeles, and London, the production arrives on Broadway for a limited engagement, translating the series’ psychological tension and supernatural atmosphere into an intimate stage setting.

"4/5 stars! A cleverly executed variation on the popular horror franchise: an original feary tale that replaces the found-footage approach of the films with the immediacy of live theater."

"The slickness of Paranormal Activity's staging — we're here for the mood and the tricks more than plot and character — gives it the air of a product demo… That doesn't make the play a bad hang."

"Barrett and Holloway come the closest I've ever seen — outside of a haunted house anyway — to achieving that same always-on-edge sensation onstage."

"It’s deeply unsettling. It’s hilarious. It’s a complicated tale of an even more complicated couple that will inspire debates long after you leave the theater. "

"It's harmless fun, if you know what you're in for, but will audiences really pay Broadway prices for what is essentially the IMAX version of the ginned-up thrills they can get at their local cinemas, or, more likely, streamed at home?"
