idk what I expected the immersive masquerade production to be but a 6 week long engagement with a dress code and $200 tickets was... not it

It’s also an incredibly limited run, so even those of us who are able to make a splurge purchase like this are likely unable to attend, as I’m positive the dates will be booked up almost immediately.

don’t mind me, just going to sit here and wallow over the fact that the prices for Masquerade have completely blocked me from being able to go

Passion, love, and utter desperation
