Overview
- The stage adaptation of Paranormal Activity began performances at the August Wilson Theatre after opening on August 14, 2026, and early preview runs sold out.
- The play retools the film franchise into a single-house story about a Chicago couple who relocate to England and unpack supernatural and psychological tensions.
- Critics and audiences praised the production’s ability to translate cinematic Blumhouse-style jump scares to a live setting and singled out leads Cher Álvarez and Travis A. Knight for strong chemistry.
- Reviewers noted a drop in momentum in the second act even as the finale and several signature scares drew loud reactions, and the Broadway booking is a strictly limited 20-week engagement.
- Jason Blum is reported as part of the producing team and the show’s early box-office buzz is being watched as a potential way to attract young, experience-driven ticketbuyers and help fill currently dark Broadway houses.
