THIS IS A MUST SEE!

"I didn't see this coming! I've seen the Paranormal Movies and after the 4th one I gave up on the franchise. While visiting NYC, I kept getting adds and snippets of the show. It was a 10/10, the acting, the sound design and the practical effects and lighting. It was like watching a magic horror show; my mind still can't comprehend the stunts that they pulled off live in front of my own eyes. I hope this will be a show that travels to LA so I can see it again. "

Perfectly Scary!

"Didn't really know what to expect, was pleasantly surprised. Made us jump several times, and the twists and turns in the story had us freaking out in the best way. Loved the collective vibes of the audience all screaming and laughing together. Better than watching the movies. Highly recommend. "

A Terrifyingly Amazing Broadway Experience!

"What an incredible experience! As a fan of horror and suspense, I absolutely loved Paranormal Activity on Broadway. The atmosphere, special effects, and performances were outstanding. The show does an amazing job of building tension and keeping you on the edge of your seat, never knowing what’s going to happen next. I highly recommend this show to anyone who enjoys a good scare, suspense, and something different on Broadway. Definitely worth seeing, and an experience I won’t forget anytime soon! Five stars! "

Saul D from Old Bridge on Oct 25, 2026

So good!

"Had me gasping in horror, I felt like I was in that house with them. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars, truly a fun and scary experience for horror lovers!"

Really good experience

"My best friend and I are horror junkies and we really enjoyed this show. I do feel like the beginning was slow and the ending was rushed but overall it was a great experience. I would def see this again! "

Answers the question: how can a PLAY be scary!

"This was a fantastic theater experience. We went in wondering how the hell they would turn a scary movie into a scary play - and they did. I was riveted. The couple/actors were so absorbing and so believable. Great set design (like a giant doll’s house). And best of all, the terror was achieved not thru special effects but thru the simple and adroit use of space onstage. Audience reaction contributed enormously to the enjoyment. "

Wendy P from Lambertville on Oct 25, 2026

Scary/not scary

"I tend to avoid scary/horror shows, I dream about them. This was scary because of loud noises and unexpected events. Like watching a haunted house at Halloween. Throughly enjoyed!! "

Broadway.com Customer on Oct 18, 2026

Simply Amazing!

"My 11 year old daughter and I traditionally go see a Broadway show every year and this year my daughter suggested Paranormal Activity. I was hesitant at first after reading the show is recommended for 15 years old and up. My daughter has been interested in scary things since she was a child, so I hesitantly agreed. The show was amazing, scary, had a lot of really good jump scares, lots of LOUD noises, but my daughter loved it! We agreed this was one of the top 3 shows we have seen. We totally recommend it!"
