Masquerade |
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! |
