Phoenix Theatre Company

The Phoenix Theatre Company consistently delivers exceptional performances and a top-tier entertainment experience. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The productions are incredibly well done — impressive staging, talented performers, and flawless musical execution. Every show feels like a true Broadway-quality performance right here in Phoenix! The venue is clean and comfortable, with great seating so there isn’t a bad view in the house. The staff is friendly, helpful, and clearly passionate about what they do, which makes the entire experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're a long-time theater lover or brand new to live performances, The Phoenix Theatre Company is an absolute must-visit. I can’t wait to come back for the next show!

This review is for the new addition, the Stephenson Theatre which is a huge upgrade for the Phoenix Theatre Company campus and feels like a modern, almost‑Broadway space but still keeps the feeling of a community theatre. The theatre seating is designed so theres a good view from every location however, it seems a lot was packed into a small space (orchestra pit built under the stage!) and seating could be tight for some people. Impressive lighting and sound systems and an orchestra pit make shows like A Christmas Carol which we saw recently, feel full without losing intimacy. I usually prefer old traditional theatres, but I'm trying to appreciate the contemporary design. It works here though, as does the upstairs lobby that appears midcentury modern (which I also like) and was looking festive decorated for Christmas during our visit. There are signs that more enhancements are coming and I'm looking forward to them. Once the lobby finishes and any planned lounge spaces are complete, this could stand among the top regional venues in the Southwest. Update: This is for the Hormel Theatre where we saw 'Million Dollar Quartet' . Having this show in the smaller older theatre actually not that old, just maybe about 15 years, helped give the feeling of stepping back in time and making us feel intimately involved with the actors and music. Watching this show here was like actually being in Sun Records studio as famous and not yet famous musicians jammed to the music that introduced us to rock and roll.

We had an amazing time at The Phoenix Theatre Company's production of Frozen last night! The theatre was clean and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and helpful. My grandkids enjoyed their blue raspberry drinks, and we enjoyed the adult cocktails. The impressive casting, costumes, and music made a significant difference from other shows. Every single detail was meticulously executed in the production of Disney’s Frozen Musical! We were extremely impressed with the execution and quality of the show. The performances were outstanding, earning a well-deserved standing ovation. This experience will be a cherished family memory as theatre truly rewards our senses! Thank you, Donna and Eric

We saw the Million Dollar Quartet show which was fabulous! Getting into the show was easy and expedited by great volunteers who knew the floor layout. Everyone was very friendly and genuinely excited about the shows. The only downside is the parking. We arrived 45 minutes early and ran into a parking nightmare. There didnt seem to be any organized method of finding a parking spot or whether there were any spots left. After working our way back out of the area we were able to find street parking a few blocks away. Not marking down the score for the parking.

We love coming to the Phoenix Theater Company! They have the best musicals! We always reserve a table at the restaurant a few hours before our show and enjoy our dinners and drinks there. Always impressed with the staff and excellent shows!
