About The Phoenix Theatre
Located on London’s Charing Cross Road, the Phoenix theatre opened in 1930 and seats just under 1000 people over three levels: the stalls, dress circle and upper circle. The theatre was built it an ornate Art Deco style, much like the Apollo Victoria, and the stunning interior is often considered to be one of London’s finest. Designed by director and designer Theodore Komisarjevsky in an Italianate style, golden wall engravings and plush, red carpets make the venue dramatic and striking.
Like most theatres built during the '30s, there are no pillars to obstruct your stage views. Situated in the heart of the West End, there's a host of great bars, clubs, restaurants and hotels to make your visit that little bit more exciting.

An incredible production with a jump-scare too many I'd like to start by saying I recommend the show. If you like Stranger Things, it's a surprisingly good prequel, and an incredible theatre rendition – utilizing more stage tools than I knew possible. Saying that, I had two gripes with the production – the main one being the ear-shattering volume of some of the jump-scares. The actual moment of terrifying surprise was well timed, but there were times I had to cover my ears since I appreciate my sense of hearing. The smaller problem was the writing – the story is quite cheesy, and since it's a prequel to the show there isn't much room for major twists and turns. But I'm happy to stomach it if my ears don't burst :D
Just to reiterate – as a theater goer I recommend Stranger Things: The First Shadow. Probably not for kids since it's still a horror story. And I didn't say enough about how well they used video and lights to take my breath away.
