Venue info

Phoenix Theatre er et af de mange spillesteder i London, du finder her på British Theatre. Find spændende kommende forestillinger, praktiske råd om teatret og hjælp til billetbestilling, før du planlægger dit næste besøg. Phoenix Theatre slog dørene op den 24. september 1930. Den allerførste forestilling var Noel Cowards 'Private Lives', hvor Coward selv stod på scenen sammen med Adrienne Allen, Gertrude Lawrence og en dengang ung Laurence Olivier. Coward vendte senere tilbage til teatret i 1936 med 'Tonight at 8:30'. I 1948 dannede teatret ramme om to nye stykker af Terence Rattigan ('Harlequinade' og 'The Browning Version'), efterfulgt af endnu et gensyn med Coward i 1952 med 'Quadrille'. Hans betydning for teatret blev i 1969 hyldet med en særlig midnatsmatiné, og foyerbaren blev i samme ombæring omdøbt til 'Noel Coward Bar'. Teatret oplevede en overvældende succes i 1968 med musicaludgaven af 'The Canterbury Tales', som spillede næsten 2.000 gange, og igen i 1978 med Tom Stoppards 'Night and Day', der kørte i to år. Musicals dominerede i 1980'erne med opsætninger som 'The Biograph Girl', 'The Baker’s Wife' og 'Into the Woods'. Den mest berømte og længstspillende forestilling i teatrets historie er dog Willy Russells 'Blood Brothers'. Efter at være flyttet fra Albery Theatre i 1991, spillede forestillingen i hele 21 år. I 2013 var teatret desuden hjemsted for den originale West End-opsætning af 'Once'.

History

The Phoenix Theatre opened on 24 September 1930. Its inaugural production was Private Lives by Noel Coward, which starred Coward himself, Adrienne Allen, Gertrude Lawrence, and a young Laurence Olivier. Coward returned in 1936 with Tonight at 8:30.

In 1948, the theatre played host to two new plays by Terrance Rattigan (Harlequinade and The Browning Version), followed by another return by Coward (1952’s Quadrille). He would later be honored in 1969 with a midnight matinee and the renaming of the foyer bar to the Noel Coward Bar.

The theatre experienced great success in 1968 with a musical version of The Canterbury Tales, which ran for nearly 2,000 performances, and again in 1978 with Top Stoppard’s Night and Day, which ran for 2 years.

Musicals dominated the 1980s, with productions such as The Biograph Girl, The Baker’s Wife, and Into the Woods.

The most famous long running production in the theatre is Willy Russell’s Blood Brothers. After transferring from The Albery Theatre in 1991, the show ran for 21 years. In 2013, the theatre hosted the original West end production of Once.

We had the best time at the Phoenix Theatre watching Stranger Things: The First Shadow! Absolutely loved it. The production was incredible! The special effects, acting, and overall vibe completely pulled us in. It really felt immersive and so well done. I will say it was a little long, and I wish the intermission had been a bit longer to fully stretch and reset but that’s honestly my only small note. We decided to go all out and add the lounge experience, and if you can swing it, DO IT. Totally worth it. You can leave your belongings there and everything is watched, which makes the whole evening feel seamless and stress-free. They even had our drinks poured and ready for us during intermission. Such a nice touch! Overall, such a fun night and an amazing show. Would absolutely recommend! 🎭✨

Recently watched Stranger Things -The First Shadow. A must see for all Stranger Things fans. The production, effects and cast were all awesome! There is also a nice selection of food, drinks and specific ST merch too which was reasonalby priced. Very helpful, friendly staff on hand at all times. The only 'watch out' id say is that the theatre gets pretty hot very quickly with a full house so just try dress light where possible for your comfort. To be expected with theatres on this size when full so not an issue.

Lovely little theatre and amazing show! We booked the Phoenix Rising lounge package and it was well worth the money. 2 cocktails, dessert board, ice cream and a huge popcorn included. Staff were brilliant, both professional and friendly. We were in the dress circle row E and had a perfect view of the show! Special effects in this show are fabulous - an absolute must for any Stranger Things fans 😍

An amazing show and incredibly immersive from start to finish. The Phoenix Theatre may be on the smaller side, but it didn’t lose any magic or impact at all. The stalls view was excellent, and the online food ordering worked smoothly, with interval orders arriving right on time. Seats were a little worn but still comfortable. Overall, a very enjoyable night and a fantastic theatre experience.
