ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER’S PHANTOM OF THE OPERA MASQUERADE.
The Phantom and Christine dancing under a red light as spectators watch around them
“Breathlessly exciting” - The New York Times
As a director, I have always believed in the singular power of theater to make us feel present and connect us to something larger than ourselves. What excited me about Masquerade was the rare opportunity to step inside the world Andrew Lloyd Webber created with The Phantom of the Opera—not simply to watch it unfold, but to inhabit its mystery, romance, and theatrical grandeur in a staggeringly intimate new way. That the OCC has recognized an immersive production for the first time feels like a celebration not just of our production, but of the ever-expanding definition of what theater can be. — Tony Award® Winner Diane Paulus, Director of Masquerade
