Phoenix Theatre London

The Phoenix Theatre on Charing Cross Road was designed by the three architects Bertie Crewe, Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and Cecil Massey and first opened its doors in 1930.

The first play to feature at the theatre was Noel Coward's Private Lives starring the writer himself and his partner on stage Gertrude Lawrence, plus an unknown young and up-and-coming actor by the name of Laurence Olivier. This signalled the start of a long and fruitful relationship that Coward would go on to have with the theatre. The bar of the Phoenix is named the Noel Coward bar in his honour.

The venue continued to attract some of the biggest names in performance history, including Terence Rattigan, Noel Coward, Stephen Sondheim and Stephen Schwartz.

A musical version of Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales (1968) ran for over 2,000 performances. Another incredibly successful production was Willy Russell's Liverpool musical Blood Brothers (1991) that ran continuously for 21 years.
