PARANORMAL ACTIVITY HAS ARRIVED IN NYC!Ā
A horror play in an allegedly haunted theater? What could possibly go wrong?Ā
And before you ask, no, itās not a musical, and itās not a direct adaptation of the movie. Paranormal Activity on Broadway is a brand-new story set within the world of the Paranormal Activity films.
Iāve never experienced theatrical effects quite like this. It genuinely felt like watching a horror movie from inside the screen. Youāre not just watching, youāre in the house with them, experiencing the sound, lighting, and, well⦠paranormal activity firsthand. š³Ā
The two-story house set is completely immersive, the characters are surprisingly relatable, and the effects? Letās just say I spent a fair amount of time wondering whether I was watching a play or had somehow wandered into a haunting.
As you watch this couple slowly unravel, the line between whatās real and what youāre seeing begins to blur. You find yourself keeping your eyes open because youāre afraid you might miss something⦠or that something might happen while theyāre closed.
There are themed cocktails to enhance the experience. I ordered The SĆ©ance because, drinkable glitter.Ā
This is the play we didnāt know we needed, and somehow, itās all happening inside the 100-year-old August Wilson Theatre in NYC.Ā
If you love horror, immersive experiences, or simply enjoy questioning your life choices in a dark theater⦠GO.
And yes, the August Wilson Theatre is rumored to be haunted!
The theater was built by theatrical impresario David Belasco, who opened it as the Guild Theatre in 1925. Belasco lived in a lavish Gothic-style apartment directly above the theater, and legend says his perfectionistic ghost never left.
Over the years, actors and staff have reported strange sounds, cold spots, and the feeling of being watched from the apartmentās window overlooking the stage.
Now, nearly 100 years later, the theater is home to Paranormal Activity, making the supposedly haunted venue the perfect setting for a horror story. The cast has even joked about whether Belascoās ghost is willing to share the theater with a new kind of haunting š
