I offer it’s unlike anything else on the American stage right now; a work of horror, heart and absolute mischief borne from one of the most profound collaborations of my career.”

An amazing experience. My first broadway show and it did not disappoint at all. The set, story, and acting were all incredible. Would highly recommend for horror fans and people looking for something different.
Paranormal Activity was great, the set (two floors), the sound (I swear I was watching a horror movie at AMC and had to remind myself that I was watching a horror play on Broadway), the actors were spooky and funny, the special effects, the story and the directing were awesome! I jumped in my seat over six times!
Refreshing theater experience. Equal parts horrifying and fascinating
