WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES,
WHAT DO YOU SEE?

James and Lou move from Chicago to London for a fresh start. But as the young couple settles into their new home, Lou is certain that something isn’t right, and before long they will both have to grapple with the same truth: places aren’t haunted, people are.

An entirely new story inspired by the iconic film series, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY comes to Broadway direct from smash-hit, critically acclaimed runs in Chicago, Los Angeles, and London. Now in performances for a limited time only.
