‘Paranormal Activity’ To Haunt Broadway For Eight Additional Weeks

Paranormal Activity, Levi Holloway’s hit, critically acclaimed stage chiller inspired by the famous Paramount film franchise, has been extended for eight additional weeks at Broadway‘s August Wilson Theatre. The play, directed by Felix Barrett will now play through February 28, 2027.

Since beginning previews on August 14 and opening August 25, Paranormal Activity, starring Cher Álvarez and Travis A. Knight as the spooked couple, has been playing to full or nearly full houses. Last week, the show was at 98% of capacity and grossed $910,556

The crowd-pleaser arrived on Broadway directly from a limited pre-Broadway engagement in Boston at the Emerson Colonial Theatre in July, and prior to Boston had played sold-out engagements at Chicago Shakespeare Theater in Chicago, Center Theatre Group at The Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington D.C., and American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco.

A production in Toronto at the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre began on June 9 and ran through July 5. The production premiered at the Leeds Playhouse in the UK before transferring to the Ambassadors Theatre in the West End, where it is currently selling tickets through Saturday, November 7.

The synopsis: “James and Lou move from Chicago to London to escape their past, but they soon discover that places aren’t haunted, people are… With an original story inspired by the film franchise, Paranormal Activity reimagines the modern ghost story with an intimacy that only live theatre can provide.”

Paranormal Activity is a Melting Pot production in association with Paramount Pictures.
