“The Phantom of the Opera” returns to New York City after closing on Broadway two years ago.
However, the show won the return to its old land, the Majestic Theater. On the other hand, it will be housed in West 57th Street in the Old Lee’s Art Shop building and will become a “immersive” theatrical experience, confirms page six.
It will open in early July and will be called “Masquerade”, based on one of the exclusive songs of the program. However, a source emphasized page six that will remain “Phantom”.
Around the last weeks, New Yorkers have noticed a strange activity in the 57th Street building.
The windows have been linked to wide vintage style leaves, referring to news about the house of the Opera in Paris, the stage of the musical winner of Tony.
Inside, construction teams have seen work throughout the day.
Meanwhile, a growing number of Superfans “Phantom” has begun to decode cryptic clues that remain in social networks that point to the return of one of Broadways’s most beloved characters.
A mysterious teaser site has also appeared with nothing more than an illustration of a mask, the word “masquerade” and a form that invites people to join an email list.
And then there are the sightings of the legendary composer “Phantom” Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Webber has been spied on entering and leaving the building in “odd hours,” a source tells Page Six.
When he was asked for comments, the teacher’s spokesman offered a cryptic comment: “All I ask is to keep his distance and forget this strange matter. For now.”
“Phantom”, based on Gaston Leroux’s novel, tells the story of a mysterious undercover figure that lives under Paris’s house Opéra that becomes obsessed with a beautiful soprano called Christine Daaé.
The show was opened for the first time at the West End in London in 1986 and then on Broadway in 1988.
The original production starred Michael Crawford as the then wife of Phantom and Webber, Sarah Brightman, such as Christine.
He closed in April 2023 after 13,981 performances and a 35 -year -old race, which makes him the oldest show in Broadway’s history.
The show has occurred in 40 countries on 6 continents and has won more than $ 6 billion.
