Phoenix Theatre, Discount Blood Brothers Tickets London

The Phoenix Theatre
110 Charing Cross Road
London WC2H OJP

While the front outside of this theatre which looks onto Charing Cross Road looks a little drab, the atmospheric art deco interior, designed by the Russian designer and director Theodore Komisarjevsky, is superb. In the 1970's the front entrance to the Phoenix Theatre was moved from Charing Cross Road to Phoenix Street, while the Advance Box Office is half-way between them in Charing Cross Road. In 1986 part of the adjacent car park, which had been a former bomb site, was used to build a cinema, now  demolished to make way for a residential development. Karl Marx once lived in this building, which is one of the oldest in Soho. But its real claim to fame in the 20th century was as "Leoni's Quo Vadis", one of London's most respected Italian restaurants founded in the 1930s by Peppino Leoni. The charm of the ground floor restaurant with its stained glass windows and simple but pleasant interior has been restored and a menu devised whose range and quality have won instant acclaim. The striking works of art displayed around the restaurant are created in homage to such luminaries as Lucio Fontana and Alberto Giacometti. Currently showing at the Phoenix Theatre is the hit musical Blood Brothers by Willy Russell which has been playing there for over twenty years and is set to run and run.
