In a letter penned by the Phantom of the Opera to the press today, Masquerade, has revealed the director of the production. Masquerade is the immersive Phantom of the Opera spinoff production from Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Read the letter below:
Fondest greetings to you all,
It has come to my attention that there has been some speculation about my plans for my legend to continue to be told after it was unwisely prevented from being recounted on Broadway. I can now confirm that these rumours have foundation.
I have secured an address on 57th Street, a more salubrious part of town than my previous, where I have instructed the director Diane Paulus to prepare my new vision of the legend. I have observed that she has considerable credentials in the fields of opera and musical theater. Under my guidance she has created, along with my minion Lloyd Webber, an event like no other with my characters played by performers of exceptional ability.
Further communications will be issued in due course. It will be greatly in your interest to comply with any commands therein at all times.
I remain,
Your obedient servant,
O.G
Earlier in the week, further instructions were given:
You are strongly advised to sign my ledger by the 30th of June. This will ensure you will be granted access to my production during the six weeks I have elected to present it to a very fortunate few.
The following requirements must be strictly adhered to:
- You must dress in black, white or silver or a combination of these colours.
- You must at all times conceal your face. A masquerade mask in black, white, or silver is required. Bring your own or purchase one at the door.
- Finally, a word of advice. Do not wear high heels. Whilst in certain circumstances these can be appropriate, they could be treacherous as you tread the secret catacombs and dark crannies that I have prepared for you.
