New York, NY (September 25, 2026) – This All Hallows’ Eve, Masquerade invites guests to let their fantasies unwind with a night of surreal decadence at its second annual Le Bal Macabre, a Halloween Soirée following the holiday evening performance. Guests will revel on the Masquerade set, including under the glittering chandelier, with an evening that will include music, live performances and spectacle set across multiple floors of the venue.
Tickets to the October 31 performance and soirée, soirée-only, and late-night soirée are now available at www.masqueradenyc.com/halloween. Extravagant and all-black macabre attire, as well as Masquerade masks, are required.
Masquerade is on sale through February 28, 2027 at 218 West 57th Street.
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
Masquerade is based on the original musical Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 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.

M.A.C. COSMETICS serves as the show’s Official Makeup Partner.
