There are three perfect moments in Phantom of the Opera: When the giant chandelier crashes into the stage; when Christine hits the high E; and when the Phantom finally removes his mask to show her his face.

The reveal has always enthralled fans of the long-running musical, leaving them to wonder what it would be like to hide behind the iconic white disguise. Wonder no more! After five years and thousands of performances, Phantom—The Las Vegas Spectacular is rewarding patrons with the new Phantom Mask Maker application on Facebook.

Designed by the Vegas branch of Situation Interactive, the app invites fans to position the Phantom’s mask over their profile photos or other uploads. They also choose between two frames celebrating the fifth anniversary of the show’s residence at The Venetian.

If you haven’t seen the show or want to challenge Janis Sartin for hugest fan status (she’s seen it 55 times, and counting), take advantage of an anniversary ticket deal. Through September 4, you can purchase two tickets for $99 by using the code 99PAIR when you make your order.
