When one Adler Phantom welcomes another under the mask. Alum Nik Walker (Class of 2010), who co-originated the role of the Phantom in Masquerade when it opened on September 29, 2025, is now joined by fellow Adler alumnus Ryan Vona, newly stepping into the shadows of this haunting production. Masquerade is a bold, immersive re-imagining of The Phantom of the Opera, inviting audiences to don masks and roam through a multi-level world where music, movement, and mystery unfold all around you. From shared training to shared legend — we couldn’t be prouder of these two haunting New York City.
