ON THE MARQUEE: Broadway is taking the power of SCARE to the next level. Our 2026-2027 season is getting into full swing with some exciting new shows. One of the first new PLAYS to open this season is already making the Great Bright Way SCREAM!!! That particular is….. Paranormal Activity!! Yes, the 2007 horror film series was now turned into a horror play written by British playwright Levi Holloway.
This new show is an entirely new story. Basically, the plot follows a newly married couple that moves from Chicago to London for a fresh new start. However, they learned that they can’t escape their past, as the supernatural entity that turned their lives upside down follows them to their new home. These hauntings eventually leads to a strain in their marriage, but learn to work together to confront the entity. The show brings the vibe of the films to life on stage with thrilling special effects, intense scary content, and tons of jump scares making audiences scream every night.
NOTE: Everyone who sees this show, PLEASE bring earplugs!!!
