Pre-dinner reception in the theater's foyer space builds anticipation.
Guest view as they entered the space, with the floor completely flat, dining tables in the distance.
Guests moving to their seats, unsure if they are interrupting a rehearsal or if it is all for them.
Tables were designed with chandelier-inspired centerpieces and playbill menu.
Prop tables, costume fittings and wig displays in full view of attendees, pulling them into the theatrical process and blurring the lines of rehearsal versus performance.
The transformation of the space begins as the sound check turns into an immersive performance.
The crew "rehearsed" the Phantom of the Opera.
The proscenium of the theatre begins to rise up as modern dancers embody the spirit of the Phantom and Christine, drawing the audience’s eye from onstage to the downstage edge for the seat flip.
After the seats finish flipping, guests are invited into the audience to watch the finale performance.
