New York, NY (March 6, 2026) – Today, producers announced that due to popular demand, the immersive hit Masquerade will extend for a fifth time through Summer 2026. Masquerade will now play an additional 9 weeks through Sunday, September 6, 2026, at 218 West 57th Street.
Masquerade is based on the original musical The Phantom of the Opera with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Charles Hart, additional lyrics by Richard Stilgoe and book by Richard Stilgoe and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Masquerade is presented by arrangement with LW Entertainment.

Performances for Masquerade take place evenings Tuesday – Sunday with matinee performances on Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets are on sale now at www.masqueradenyc.com.
Same day tickets can also be accessed via the Black Tie Standby Line, an in-person cancellation line offering a limited number of $170 tickets to each performance, subject to availability from any returned or canceled tickets. Standby hopefuls are reminded that attending in proper attire is essential to the Masquerade experience and is required in order to join the Black Tie Standby Line. The Black Tie Standby Line operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
From the revels of the masked ball, into dressing rooms a breath away from the cast, and even down through mirrors into the deepest corners of the Phantom’s lair, Masquerade invites you to experience the iconic story and score, even stranger (and more phantastically) than you’ve dreamt it.
Masquerade is:
“Breathlessly exciting… It is wonderful to be in arm’s length of the boat, to be taken by the hand by Christine or Madame Giry, to race in anticipation of what the next room might hold.”
- The New York Times
“A sexy, hot ticket… The Phantom may have vanished from the Majestic Theatre, but there’s plenty of majesty to be found on 57th Street.”
- The New York Post
“’Phantom of the Opera’ like you’ve never experienced before.”
- The Daily Beast
“Mightily inventive,” “refreshingly vibrant,” and “inexhaustibly cool.”
- Slant Magazine
“A marvel… get dressed up, hide your face, and give yourself over to the phantasy.”
- Time Out New York
