PIN Phoenix Theatre

History

Interestingly it was originally a factory, and then was an Alzathar before it became a theatre in 1930. The Alzathar was a special kind of music hall, where there was a long hall with 3 different acts, and people would wonder between them. Unfortunately, the idea did not really take off, and 'Phoenix theatre' opened in 1930 along with other big theatres that opened in that year; the Prince Edward, the Cambridge, and the Whitehall.
Its first show was to be 'Private Lives', and would also feature Noel Coward in it; as well as later hold others of his shows; Tonight at 8.30 (1936) and Quadrille (1952.)

Triptide Thoughts

The show (Girls) was amazing, it was one that makes you experience various emotions, ups and downs; and guides you through the bonds of friendship and love. The cast is amazing, the staff are super friendly and the theatre is exquisite with beautiful golden engravings on the auditorium, seats, carpets and curtains - originally based on the design of traditional Italian theatres!
