We got tickets to see Elf before the Christmas holiday. Due to staffing issues, our initial show was cancelled. We rescheduled for a few days later and the rescheduled show was then cancelled. My suspicion is that some of the cast caught COVID and others fell ill a few days later. We rescheduled again and the third time's the charm! We really enjoyed seeing the performance. It was true to the movie but original in many ways that kept the audience engaged and excited. It was a fun performance and a nice way to celebrate the Christmas season. The Phoenix Theatre Company is quite good! The actors and orchestra were very professional, we had no issues rescheduling our seats multiple times, and the venue itself is lovely. I can't wait to go see another play here!

We visited to see Sister Catherine’s Catechism and both the show and the venue did not disappoint. It was our first time here, and we will return. The bar/bistro was a very pleasant surprise. The staff were all amazing and very friendly. The intimacy of the theater was exceptional and made the experience so amazing. Thank you!

During my time living in Phoenix, I was able to visit Phoenix Theatre about a half a dozen times. I have to say, this theatre has been an absolute joy. They provide a range of shows from the known ones like "Singing in the Rain" and "The Color Purple" to the lesser known "Bandstand". The performances are always well done and leave me feeling fulfilled.However, what I think I love most about this theatre is how devoted the production team is to telling authentic stories. In the audience at Bandstand, a show about a group of World War II veterans who push beyond their post-war struggles to pursue success as a band, I was lucky enough to sit next to the assistant director. I was struck by her passion and the importance of showing the struggle of World War II veterans. Another show that I would like to draw particular attention to is Tiananmen. This show was the first of its kind, showing a fictional love story set in the very true backdrop of the two months leading up to the Tiananmen massacre. This massacre is not frequently discussed and (I think) had never been portrayed on stage. Phoenix Theatre's portrayal of Tiananmen even drew the attention of a real life Tiananmen victim, who attended the show and spoke a few words on the importance of remembering the event.

We went to see the play, "Elf" last night. For the most part, it was very well done. I was just so very disappointed that sexual innuendos and mild profanity had to be a part of this performance. One comment from my NINE-year-old granddaughter: "I didn't know there was going to be cussing in this play!!" I don't understand why we can't let kids stay kids while they are kids. Sexualizing them and exposing them to language many of them are encouraged to avoid is so heart breaking. The comments about who is sleeping with who and the inappropriate language could have been omitted. It wouldn't have downgraded the experience in any way. :(

SO HAPPY I found out about their Monthly Membership deal. $39/mo., and you get to see a show PER MONTH ... as many times as you like ... any seats. We saw Lady Day in the FRONT ROW! Close enough to know the actress was crying real tears at the end. What a fabulous deal!!

Went here for the Wizard of OZ show and decided to get the dinner as well.The performance was amazing and carries this review, the food and drinks were just okay.The drinks did not taste that great, especially the martini. The starter salad was alright, nothing too fancy. For the entree, I got the salmon and my boyfriend got the steak. I couldn't even finish the salmon it was way to fishy, but the steak was surprisingly very good! For dessert, we got a slice of cake. It was supposed to have a red ruby chocolate slipper on top, but sadly ours didn't have one. If I were to return, it would be for the show only, not the dinner.

Class act. I booked tickets on line and had to call and modify. The staff are all very friendly and helpful (which is lacking in the world today). The bar is nice, the food is pretty good, the facility is very clean and the show was excellent! A great first experience and a fun evening that will bring me back!

Very nice play. The venue is easy to get to and the parking lot is big and free. It's not a big place and every seat has a good view of the stage.
