'Once' tickets

We'll be reviewing the West End production of 'Once' as soon as it hits London, but for now you can read Time Out New York's review of 'Once' on Broadway.

Phoenix had an auspicious start in 1930 when it opened with a cast including Gertrude Lawrence and a young Laurence Olivier in Noël Coward's 'Private Lives'. It went on to stage a mix of highbrow dramas and musicals before committing to the latter genre when Willy Russell's 'Blood Brothers' took up residency in 1991 - and it hasn't shifted since.

To reach the Phoenix Theatre take the Northern line of Piccadilly line to Leicester Square tube station. Head north on Charing Cross Road. The theatre will be 320m on the right hand side.
