The Phoenix mission is to develop, produce and present Broadway musicals and family entertainment throughout North America and beyond.

The Heat is On!  Steam Heat!  THE PAJAMA GAME leads the Phoenix touring roster in the coming season when this long awaited production takes to the American road for its first tour in nearly fifty years.  Hot on the heels of its recent Tony Award winning sell-out success on Broadway, the timing of this new production with direction, choreography and musical supervision by our own Michael McFadden, Mark Minnick and Steven Bishop could not be more ideal.   With classic hits like Hernando’s Hideaway, Hey There, Steam Heat and Once A Year Day – THE PAJAMA GAME is poised to pack a musical comedy wallop that’s not to be missed!

To BEE or not to BEE?  There is no question!  Not to BEE missed is the all-new Phoenix touring production of Broadway’s H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S hit musical comedy THE TWENTY FIFTH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE set to launch this October on a Colorado Rocky Mountain high!  Featuring the original work of Director James Lapine and Choreographer Dan Knechtges , the TONY Award winning SPELLING BEE is guaranteed to spread sheer delight to audiences throughout North America.

FAME MEETS CHINA!   The worldwide stage phenomenon known affectionately as FAME – THE MUSICAL will be sweeping mainland China in the coming season when Phoenix teams with Nederlander New Century in presenting the first Mandarin language production of this classic American musical.  With rehearsals already under way at the Beijing Central Academy, this ground breaking new venture will begin performances in mid-October following the summer Olympic Games.

PHOENIX ENTERTAINMENT ASIA is our shining star in the Far East.  This strategic partnership brings international booking, producing, presenting, classical-artist management and theatrical investment to our production and management capabilities.  Under the expert direction of our long time friend and colleague Ellie Chung, PHOENIX ENTERTAINMENT ASIA has been represented in the region with productions of THE KING & I, SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN, 42ND STREET, FAME, GREASE, SESAME STREET LIVE, DRAGON TALES LIVE, BARNEY, LOVE DUETS, SING ALONG SANTA, and DAVID LANZ & FRIENDS IN CONCERT, to name but a few.
