MASQUERADE Extends; Austin Colby, Derrick Davis, and More Join the Cast

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.

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.

Last month, Masquerade – The Orchestral Score was released and is available in-venue only. The vinyl contains brand new compositions from Lloyd Webber. 

Masquerade – The Orchestral Score is a newly recorded work that invites listeners deep into the world of mystery, romance, and spectacle that is Masquerade. The orchestral collection is rich with sweeping strings, recognizable haunting motifs, and the unmistakable melodic grandeur that defines Lloyd Webber’s music. The recording – produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Lee McCutcheon - is pressed on clear Vinyl and released via The Other Songs Records. Included in the album is the Academy Award nominated song “Learn to be Lonely” composed and performed live by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
