The Phantom of the Opera wishes it had this much murder-clown energy.
The story takes place between the end of the Yorknew City arc and the beginning of Greed Island arc, in a kingdom called Elrais, where the four protagonists receive a mission to recover four missing performers who have starring roles in the theatre for the upcoming festival. The musical was originally performed during December 2000.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Performed live in December 2000 with the original anime voice cast, this remains one of the only stage adaptations where Nen abilities were translated into practical choreography rather than projection effects.
The 'missing performers' plot was created specifically for this musical and has never been acknowledged in canon—making Elrais the only kingdom in Hunter x Hunter lore that exists purely for theatre kid reasons.
