The Phoenix Theatre opened in the 1930's and was renowned for premiering new plays by prolific playwrights such as Noel Coward. The entrance faces Charing Cross Road and is designed in an Italianate and Neo Classical style. The theatre is most famous for housing the long-running Blood Brothers, as well as recent musicals Bend It Like Beckham and Guys and Dolls. Gary Barlow musical The Girls makes its London premiere at the venue.
Split across three levels, the theatre has a traditional auditorium with a standard West End views on offer throughout the seating. It is a deep auditorium, with a tall and narrow feel but few obstructions. The stage is raked, meaning action can be clearly seen from most seats.
Sit towards the ends of any rows for an excellent, discounted view of the stage. As the seats barely curve around the stage, this means that you still get a great view even when seated at the very end of a row. Sit in the Grand Circle for a completely clear view of the stage for a discounted price.
Premium seats are located in the mid-centre of the Stalls, specifically in rows C-K. These rows offer clear, unobstructed views of the entire stage, with comfortable seating and good legroom. Stall seats are excellent for those looking to be immersed in an intimate production. Alternatively, seats in the front rows of the Dress Circle are excellent, offering panoramic views of the stage.
Seat felt very narrow so not overly comfortable. The view is amazing, very close to the stage but there’s a little bit of restriction every now and then - props and the angle to the side. Great option for return viewers, for newbies maybe take a seat... More

This is an extreme end of aisle seat. With that, the payoff is A) legroom benefits from leaning out to the left, although also B) a side-ish view of the stage. As a result a tiny amount of action is missed however its not a terrible amount. More

Quite far back but it’s a small theatre so it doesn’t too feel bad. The overhang from the circle does obstruct the top 20% of the stage but literally nothing happens there in Come From Away. Seat is at the end of a row so good for long legs! More
