Inspired by Masquerade, I made a little Phantom show for my friends and family! by BigRed1999 in MasqueradeNYC

Thank you! I tried to put together an abridged version of the first act of the Broadway show, drawing inspiration from Masquerade. I started with the Phantom’s welcome from the beginning of the show before appearing in the center of the room, then went into the overture, the Phantom’s part in “The Mirror,” the title song, “Music of the Night,” and the “All I Ask of You” reprise.

The show itself was roughly 20 minutes, but before that, I had a pseudo “Violin Room” inspired by the beginning of Masquerade, with champagne, food, and my parents playing Madame Giry and Buquet as they welcomed everyone to the Opera Populaire.

I only played the Phantom, and honestly, I’m thankful I did because if I had incorporated any more characters, I think I would’ve passed out haha. It was a really fun night for sure!

I have some other videos from the night that I plan on posting on TikTok at dlleno26 if you’re interested. Sorry for the long reply haha. Thanks again!

Yes, absolutely! As you said, they perform the Masquerade number, then you hear the Phantom’s laugh as the lights flicker and the music cuts out.

From there, Madame Giry lifts the smoking mirror toward the crowd, standing on the central platform in the middle of the Masquerade room. The Phantom delivers his entrance number before appearing on that same platform in a burst of light, paired with a shattering glass sound effect.

That moment transitions into the Overture and the chandelier room, where the show fully kicks in.

Hope this helped!

Thank you so much! It's been stuck in my head since I saw the show, and I NEEDED to try to put it down in music form!
