Horrors of Broadway

This is a random though for a haunted house that just came up in my mind passed on horror musicals.

Facade: A vintage style Broadway theater with a marquee of flickering lights of the shows that guests will expense inside. 
The Phantom of the Opera. Sweeney Todd; The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Jekyll and Hyde. Les Miserables. Little Shop of Horrors. Cats. Into the Woods.
 Guests will take a left turn through an alleyway that will lead them through the backstage door. A bum will emerge from behind a corner and warns guests of the dangers what awaits inside.


Backstage: Inside, guests will navigate through a corridor of the backstage area that are lined with doors on both sides. Sounds of knockings, pounds, and cries of people trying to get out can be heard from within each doors. One of the doors will open as ghostly apparitions pop out from inside. 

Prop Room: The prop room is littered with trunks, crates, knickknacks and costumed mannequins.  Scare-actors will camouflage itself as a mannequin and will come to life to scare quests. 

Dressing Room/Phantom of the Opera: Inside one of the dressing rooms is furnished with flowers. The Phantom can be seen within the reflection of a large antique looking glass and vanishes. Suddenly Christine emerges from behind the changing screen and says, "He's here, The Phantom of the Opera!" 

The Phantom's Lair: Guests will through a cavernous passageway and emerge into the lair of The Phantom of the Opera. Erick, the Phantom, can be seen playing on his organ which activates blasts of air on the guests as he turns to revel his deformed face. 

Jekyll and Hyde: After guests emerge from the Phantom's lair, they are transported into the seedy cobblestone street of 19th Century London. A prostitute pleads for help, but she is attacked by Mr Hyde. Hyde will then appear in a dark conner and chases the guests. 

Les Miserables: Guests navigate their way through an alleyway with a barricade comprised out of furniture. The sounds of gunshots can heard from within the barricade as blast of air pass through guests, suggesting that they being hit by bullets. From the conner alleyways, guests are ambushed by rebels and soldiers, and the occasional cameos of Javert and the Thenardiers. 


Sweeney Todd's Barber Shop: Guests will then enter a replica set of Sweeney Todd, where the character of Sweeney can be seen shaving a customer, until he slashes his victim's throat and lunges at the guests. 

The Bake House: After escaping from Sweeney's razor, guests will decent into Mrs Lovett's bake house where she disposes's Sweeney's victims and makes them out of her meat pies. Mrs Lovett appears from behind an enormous meat grinder and shouts at the guests to leave. A demented Tobias pops out from the grates. 

Rocky Horror: Guets enter a laboratory from the Rocky Horror Show, equipped with a slab of Rocky who will lunge at the guests. Dr Frank N Furter will emerge from an cold storage and brandishes a blood stained pix ax. 

Catwalk: Guests ascend to the catwalk of the theater. From below, guests can see what appears to be a performance on the stage. The floor starts to sway a little and vibrates, just give guests the feels that it's about to collapse. 


Cats: Guests find themselves in a scrapyard. From dark corners, glowing feline eyes can be seen within. Humanoid felines will emerge from behind piles of junk

Little Shop of Horrors: Guests enter a Flower Shop that has now been taken over by Audrey II, the man eating plant form Little Shop of Horrors, filled with vines as the song Mean Green Mother from Outer Space can be heard. Hapless victims and miniature killer plants attack guests from both sides, until they are confronted by a giant puppet of Audrey II. 

Into the Woods: The flower shop turns into a darkened forest, with trees topped over and uprooted. Within one of the trees, the apparition of woman materializes with a tree with a grave. Demented fairy tale characters emerge from the underbrush; Little Red Ridding Hood with a wolf skin coat, The Witch from Rapunzel, and the Stepsisters from Cinderella whose eyes have been pecked out from birds.


Auditorium/Finale: Guests then navigate their way through the auditorium with corpses of theater patrons in vintage evening attire. Some of them will be mannequins, while others will be scare actors that lunge at the guests. Just before leaving, guests will go through a series of curtains and will encounter many of the characters they've encountered in pervious scenes.
