First look at “truly terrifying” Paranormal Activity live show as returning cast is announced

Okay, so Halloween’s done, but I’m still getting my spooky fix! I’m so excited – they’ve started rehearsing Paranormal Activity for its first ever West End show! The producers just announced the cast and gave us a little sneak peek of what the show will be like. I can’t wait to see it next month!

The play Paranormal Activity first premiered last summer at Leeds Playhouse and has since opened at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, with plans for a tour across North America. The West End production features Melissa James, Pippa Winslow, and Jackie Morrison returning from the original Leeds cast, alongside new additions Ronan Raftery, Cheyeene Dasri, and Jake Solari.

The stage show adaptation of Paranormal Activity opens at London’s Ambassadors Theatre on December 5th. Tickets are available now and the show is scheduled to run through March 28, 2026. You can purchase tickets from ATG Tickets, LOVETheatre, and TodayTix.

What to Read Next

This live show isn’t a copy of the popular 2007 film or its follow-ups; it features a completely original story. It focuses on James (played by Raftery) and Lou (played by James), who relocate from Chicago to London hoping to leave their troubles behind. They soon discover that it’s not locations that hold the past, but the people within them.

Get a sneak peek at photos from the Chicago premiere of Paranormal Activity to see what you can expect when it comes to London next month.

Felix Barrett, founder and artistic director of Punchdrunk, directed the show, with writing by Levi Holloway. When it played in Leeds in 2024, Dread Central called it “truly terrifying” and a “genuinely thrilling event.”

Reviewers praised Paranormal Activity for effectively tapping into our deepest fears, while still delivering the thrills and scares you expect from a horror movie. It’s full of jump scares and designed to be a genuinely frightening and entertaining experience.

First day of rehearsal for London cast and crew

I’ve been checking out a lot of shows in London’s West End lately, and it feels like everything’s getting turned into a musical! They’ve got Paddington, The Hunger Games, and a bunch of other big names like The Devil Wears Prada and Back to the Future all playing right now. It’s awesome to see so many of my favorite movies come to life on stage.

You can see ‘Paranormal Activity’ at London’s Ambassador Theatre from December 5th, 2025, until March 28th, 2026. Tickets are available from several sources, including ATG Tickets, LOVETheatre, and TodayTix.

The latest issue of Living Legends is now available! You can purchase Ariana & Witches at newsagents or online for only £8.99.
