New York, NY (October 9, 2026) – Randy Weiner, producer and co-creator of the Drama Desk Award and Off-Broadway Alliance Award-winning immersive hit Masquerade, released today, in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera, a new commemorative photo bringing together all six performers who portray the ‘Phantom’ in the production: Nick Cartell, Derrick Davis, Nicholas Edwards, Deven Kolluri, Kyle Scatliffe, and Ryan Vona, along 57th Street in Manhattan. Masquerade is now the only place in New York City where audiences can experience the world of the iconic musical, in an immersive theatrical setting.
In a statement, producer and co-creator Weiner said, “Masquerade has been the Phantom’s new NYC home for just over a year, and the response from our audience to the most unique take on his story yet has been overwhelming. We’re lifting our glasses (and chandelier) to the Phantom’s 40th anniversary and looking forward to celebrating many more years of Phantom to come.”
Director and co-creator Diane Paulus said, “From the very first workshop, Masquerade has been a thrilling collaborative project with the incredible performers who bring it to life. There is no Masquerade without our six masked men. Now, and every night, we salute them, in company with the brotherhood of Phantoms who have donned the iconic cloak in London, and stages around the world.”
Masquerade is currently on sale through Sunday, May 30, 2027, playing evenings Tuesday through Sunday with matinee performances on Saturdays and Sundays at 218 West 57th Street in New York City. Tickets are on sale now at www.masqueradenyc.com.
