| FIRMIN |
| Monsiuer Andre! |
| ANDRE |
| Monsiuer Firmin! |
| (laughter) |
| GENTLEMAN#1 |
| Dear Andre what a splendid party |
| GENTLEMAN#2 |
| The prologue to a bright new year |
| GENTLEMAN#1 |
| Quite a night, I’m impressed |
| ANDRE |
| Well, one does one’s best |
| Here’s to us! |
| The toast of all the city, what a pity that The Phantom can’t be here! |
| CHORUS |
| Masquerade! |
| Paper faces on parade… |
| Masquerade! |
| Hide your face so the world will never find |
| you! |
| Masquerade! |
| Every face a different shade… |
| Masquerade! |
| Look around- |
| There’s another mask behind you! |
| Flash of mauve… |
| Splash of puce… |
| Fool and king… |
| Ghoul and goose… |
| Green and black… |
| Queen and priest… |
| Trace of rouge… |
| Face of beast… |
| Faces … |
| Take your turn, take a ride |
| On the merry-go-round… |
| In an inhuman race… |
| Eye of gold… |
| Thigh of blue… |
| True is false… |
| Who is who? |
| Curl of lip… |
| Swirl of gown… |
| Ace of hearts… |
| Face of clown… |
| Faces… |
| Drink it in, drink it up, |
| 'Til you’ve drowned |
| In the light, |
| In the sound… |
| But who can name the face? |
| Masquerade! |
| Grinning yellows, |
| Spinning reds… |
| Masquerade! |
| Take your fill |
| Let the spectacle astound you! |
| Masquerade! |
| Burning glances, |
| Turning heads… |
| Masquerade! |
| Stop and stare |
| At the sea of smiles around you! |
| Masquerade! |
| Seething shadows, |
| Breathing lies… |
| Masquerade! |
| You can fool any friend Who ever knew |
| you! |
| Masquerade! |
| Leering satyrs, |
| peering eyes… |
| Masquerade! |
| Run and hide- |
| But a face will still pursue you! |
| Andre, Firmin: |
| What a night! |
| What a crowd! |
| Makes you glad! |
| Makes you proud! |
| Carlotta: |
| All the crème de la crème! |
| Watching us, watching them! |
| And all our fears |
| are in the past! |
| Andre: |
| Three months… |
| Of relief! |
| Of delight! |
| Andre: |
| Of Elysian peace! |
| Giry: |
| And we can breathe at last! |
| Carlotta: |
| No more notes! |
| Piangi: |
| No more ghosts! |
| Giry: |
| Here’s a health! |
| Here’s a toast |
| Managers: |
| to a prosperous year! |
| To our friends who are here! |
| Carlotta/Piangi: |
| And may our splendour never fade! |
| All: |
| What a joy! |
| What a change! |
| What a blessed release! |
| And what a masquerade! |
| CHRISTINE |
| Think of it! |
| A secret engagement! |
| Look-your future bride! |
| Just think of it! |
| RAOUL |
| But why is it secret? |
| What have we to hide? |
| You promised me |
| CHRISTINE |
| No Raoul, please don’t, |
| They’ll see! |
| RAOUL |
| Well, then let them see. |
| It’s an engagement, not a crime! |
| Christine, what are you afraid of? |
| CHRISTINE |
| Let’s not argue… |
| RAOUL |
| Let’s not argue… |
| CHRISTINE |
| Please pretend… |
| RAOUL |
| I can only hope |
| BOTH |
| I’ll/You will … |
| …Understand in time… |
| CHORUS |
| Masquerade! |
| Paper faces on parade… |
| Masquerade! |
| Hide your face so the world |
| Will never find you! |
| Masquerade! |
| Every face a different shade… |
| Masquerade! |
| Look around- |
| There’s another mask behind you! |
| Masquerade! |
| Burning glances, turning heads… |
| Masquerade! |
| Stop and stare |
| At the sea of smiles around you! |
| Masquerade! |
| Grinning yellows, spinning reds… |
| Masquerade! |
| Take your fill- |
| Let the spectacle astound you! |
