The second act begins: the story deepens, the characters crack, and the Puppet Master finally speaks. Grief, ghosts, defiance — and one Babbling Buffoon. Welcome to your holiday survival kit, Gala Violet–style.

“At the turning point of our dark fairytale cabaret, the ghosts don’t stay quiet — they sing. This week, we step behind the velvet curtain and into the séance. The floorboards creak, the secrets spill, and the truth rises like incense through every track. Join us as we uncover the shadowed heart of Masquerade of Shadows, spin new spells on Eclectic Wonderland, and laugh with the dead (just don’t trip on your sheet, Tommy).”

How did a Halloween lyric prompt become a 34-track musical with a living Puppet Master and one very square book? Tea & Mickey pull back the velvet curtain in this behind-the-scenes look at Masquerade of Shadows.

A dark cabaret born from trauma, journals, and joy. Discover the origin of Gala Violet’s Masquerade of Shadows and how Mickey’s Magic helped a Spoonie artist circle find their voice again.
