Overview

• Masquerade officially opened September 29 at 218 West 57th Street, transforming the former Lee’s Art Shop into a multi-level performance space.
• Producers say tickets are now on sale through February 1, 2026, though at least one review lists November 30 as the end date, creating a public discrepancy.
• Directed by Tony winner Diane Paulus, the production stages six simultaneous audience “pulses” and expands the principal lineup with rotating casts.
• Six actors alternate as the Phantom—Jeff Kready, Telly Leung, Hugh Panaro, Kyle Scatliffe, Clay Singer, and Nik Walker—with multiple Christines and other roles also rotating by timeslot.
• Critics praise the design, intimacy, and logistics but note the score is largely prerecorded apart from an opening violinist, and the event foregrounds dress code, masks, a password entry, and a champagne welcome.
