Paranormal Activity

About this experience

Paranormal Activity plays the August Wilson Theatre on Broadway in a strictly limited 20-week engagement. Previews began on 14 August 2026 and opening night is 25 August 2026. Levi Holloway's stage adaptation is directed by Felix Barrett, artistic director of the immersive theatre company Punchdrunk. Paranormal Activity on Broadway: the horror franchise staged live Paranormal Activity takes the found-footage horror series and puts it on a stage, where the thing you are watching for is in the room with you rather than on a screen. Lou and James are trying to start again in a new home. Something in the house has other ideas. The production leans on illusion and sound rather than gore, and it arrives with an Olivier Award nomination from its West End run. Travis A. Knight and Cher Álvarez lead the Broadway cast The Broadway company is four actors. Travis A. Knight plays James, Cher Álvarez plays Lou, Shannon Cochran plays Carolann and Eva Kaminsky plays Etheline Cotgrave. Casting can change during a run. Felix Barrett directs, with illusions by Chris Fisher Levi Holloway wrote the adaptation and Felix Barrett directs. Barrett founded Punchdrunk and built his reputation on immersive work such as Sleep No More, and the illusions are by Chris Fisher, whose credits include Stranger Things: The First Shadow. That combination is why the show reads as a technical spectacle rather than a straight play. Where Paranormal Activity played before Broadway This production reaches Broadway after an Olivier Award-nominated West End engagement and sold-out runs in Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and San Francisco, most recently playing the Emerson Colonial Theatre in Boston in July 2026.
