From the press release…

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.

If this is happening in different spaces within the building, I’m wondering how they handle the music? Like will they have a live orchestra, or will it be a clicktrack/canned/prerecorded music situation? (Which I’m sure the union will be totally cool about…….)

This is all really great and stuff, but does the website need to be bright red? I don't know if my eyes will ever recover from that experience.

Congrats! You just completed the first step of the immersive Phantom experience. You'll receive your next clue at the optometrist.

Between this and the Chess branding, that sounds about right actually.

I doubt this is a union show. Think more like Sleep No More, which def used prerecorded music.

You would doubt incorrectly.   This is absolutely an AEA production.   And the cast list of well known AEA actors would attest to that as well.
