A sell-out West End and international phenomenon brought directly from London with brand-new special effects, the stage version of Paranormal Activity is inspired by the iconic film series but tells a brand-new story live on stage.
Paranormal Activity comes to the King's Theatre from Tuesday 2 February to Saturday 6 February 2027, as part of its first-ever UK and Ireland tour. It's the stage version of the film series, though it tells a brand-new story rather than adapting the movies: James and Lou move from Chicago to London to escape their past, only to find that places aren't haunted, people are. It's a sell-out West End and international phenomenon that's come straight from London with brand-new special effects for the stage.
The cast brings together a fair bit of West End and TV experience. James Bye, known from 2:22: A Ghost Story and EastEnders, takes the lead alongside Hannah Sinclair Robinson, who's appeared in The Play That Went Wrong and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Jo Castleton, from War Horse, and Caroline Faber, of Network and The Heiress, round out the line-up. The production was a 2026 Olivier Award nominee for Best Entertainment, and the reviews have been pretty consistent on the mood: The Guardian called it "jaw-clenchingly, arm-clutchingly thrilling," while the Financial Times described it as a "cracking ghost story."
