Masquerade’s first special preview performance is set to take place tonight, on July 31, 2025, weather permitting. A message to ticket holders addressing weather concerns stated:
Dear Guest,
The equipment issues from last night’s severe flash rainstorm have been addressed. Tonight’s first special preview performance of Masquerade will proceed. Your Host requests that you join him promptly fifteen minutes before your scheduled entry time, as planned.
However, the weather tonight is due to be stormy, and there is again a risk of flash floods this evening. We have been assured by our team that all leaks have been fixed, but if the storm causes additional damage, we may still have to cancel this evening’s performance.
We look forward to welcoming you tonight, but should you wish now to reschedule your visit or request a refund, our box office will gladly accommodate. Please note that should this evening’s performance be unable to proceed, all ticketholders will be offered the opportunity to reschedule or be refunded. We thank you again for your understanding, but some things are beyond even the O.G.’s control!

Masquerade blurs the lines of reality, bringing audiences inside and closer than ever before to the strange affair of the Phantom of the Opera – a mystery never fully explained. From the highest rooftop to the subterranean lair deep below the Opera Populaire, guests will be invited to experience the music of the night more intimately than ever before. And when the iconic chandelier rises again above New York City, it will provide more than “a little illumination,” with a dazzling display of over 30,000 crystals provided by Preciosa, the Official Crystal Partner of Masquerade.
Masquerade is based on the original musical The 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 The Really Useful Group Limited.
To celebrate the Phantom’s return to New York, guests are invited to dress with a flair for the dramatic, and always remember… hide your face.
