I thought the show was incredible! 10/10 recommend!
"I read mixed reviews prior to attending. Some even said it was "underwhelming" from the stage and special effects to the performance. I'm a huge critic when it comes to anything horror and paranormal related. I used to travel the country and stay in real haunted establishments and have done numerous paranormal activities. I actually second guessed buying tickets and going because of the reviews. I am SO glad I ignored them & went anyway! The show exceeded my expectations! We arrived early and spent 45 min in the VIP lounge sipping themed cocktails before the show, which was enjoyable and added to the experience! I had a Boogeyman and my friend had the seance. We also got pretzel bites. I read many seats on the first level had an obstructed view due to the stage being two levels so I opted for mezzanine seats. Our seats were great! We sat in row J and could see the full stage clearly. I thought the stage and special effects were great. I've been to well over 2 dozen Broadway shows and this was my first two level stage - it was impressive! While I personally did not find it "scary" and didn't jump, the special effects were cool and got strong audience responses! I was very entertained, impressed and invested from beginning to end. My friend and I both really enjoyed the show. If you have any interest in it, my recommendation is to see it! It's worth the time and money! Bravo!!!!"

New York trip
"We had a great time seeing Paranormal Activity in New York! The show was suspenseful, creepy, and kept us engaged from beginning to end.
The atmosphere was intense, the effects were really well done, and there were plenty of moments that had us wondering what was going to happen next. It was a fun experience and definitely something different from a traditional Broadway show.
The cast did an excellent job creating a believable and unsettling mood, and the production made the whole experience feel immersive.
If you enjoy supernatural stories, suspense, and a few good scares, I would definitely recommend Paranormal Activity. We’re glad we went!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

Fun with chills and thrills
"Great show for a fun night out. We had a great audience which made it all worth the night out. I liked the first act more and the second had enough crazy surprises to keep us on the edge. Sound was a bit loud ."

Horribly Done Well!
"I really enjoyed this production! I absolutely loved how it wasn’t forced into being a musical. Aside from that, the chemistry between the main characters was so real and their journey can be seen as terrifying with a nice touch of humor. I really appreciate the set design and the effects were on point! Was I gripping my seat with sheer terror, not necessarily, but it definitely felt like I was a fly on the wall during a brilliant and clever live-action horror!"

What a twist
"It was a little slow at first but it was a fresh story line with good jump scares and a twist at the end. Definitely a show where the audience participation is key. We had a great audience opening night!"

A really good time, movie fans would love
"Brilliant acting, great chemistry, fun story, had some good scares. The audience was so sucked it, there were barely any applauses since we were waiting for something to jump out. Not gonna win a Tony and Broadway fans might just find it fun, but movie fans and tourists would love! Very refreshing to see new ideas on the stage. "

Jump Scares Abound
"I’m a big fan of the original movie, so I gave the show a try. It was scary in spots, but never captured the dread you feel in the film. The writing was just ok, and the female lead was really weak. Can’t recommend."

Disappointing
"Disappointing overall. The staging was poor, the script felt weak, and audio difficult to hear. There were very few theatrical tricks or memorable moments. I expected much more and left feeling unsatisfied. "
