Production photos can be found HERE.
Performances for Masquerade take place evenings Tuesday – Sunday with matinee performances on Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets are on sale now at www.masqueradenyc.com. 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
