'Masquerade' Cast to Feature 'Phantom of the Opera' Vets, Including Longtime Star Hugh Panaro!
Hugh Panaro is returning to the Phantom of the Opera universe after previously playing the title role in the Broadway musical over 2,500 times.
The full cast of Masquerade, the upcoming immersive Phantom production, was just announced and Hugh is just one of several Phantom vets who will star in the show.
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.
