New York, NY (November 17, 2025) – An unprecedented throng of more than 400 Phans and hopefuls braved the odds and the cold last night at Masquerade’s Lotto 666. Masquerade cast member Charles Osborne hosted the live in-person lottery, which offered $66.60 tickets to the evening’s show as well as one-of-a-kind prizes from a signed poster to a necklace made from an actual Preciosa crystal from the storied chandelier. Phantom of the Opera alums Meghan Picerno and Jay Armstrong Johnson put a spell on the crowd, sharing stories from their time on Broadway and making the lucky draws.

Due to the unbelievable fan (and Phan) reaction, Masquerade has announced that Lotto 666 will return, bigger and better, on Sunday, November 30.
“We were overwhelmed in the best possible way — we truly did not anticipate this level of enthusiasm,” said producer and co-conceiver Randy Weiner. “The fans embraced our invitation beyond anything we imagined, and we want to honor that. Next time Lotto 666 opens, Phans can expect even more surprises courtesy of the Phantom — lucky ticket or not.”
In addition to Lotto 666, Masquerade has created the Black Tie Standby Line, offering a limited number of $170 tickets to each performance, subject to availability from any returned or canceled tickets. Standby hopefuls are reminded that attending in proper attire is essential to the Masquerade experience, and is required in order to join the Black Tie Standby Line. The Black Tie Standby line will operate on a first-come, first-served basis.
Advance tickets to Masquerade are now available at www.masqueradenyc.com.

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 are 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 provides more than just “a little illumination,” with a dazzling display of over 30,000 crystals provided by Preciosa, the Official Crystal Partner of Masquerade. M.A.C. COSMETICS is the show’s Official Makeup Partner. Champagne is produced by Taittinger.
Masquerade is based on the original musical The Phantom of the Opera with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Charles Hart, additional lyrics by Richard Stilgoe and book by Richard Stilgoe and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Masquerade is presented by arrangement with Lloyd Webber Entertainment.
Currently in performances at 218 West 57th Street, tickets to Masquerade are now available through February 1, 2026.
