The Celebrity Theatre
The Celebrity Theatre is a distinctive circular indoor venue in Phoenix, Arizona, with a capacity of around 2,650. Its defining feature is a rotating stage at the centre of the room, which allows every seat to face the performers at some point during the show. It opened in 1964 and has hosted a wide range of rock, pop, and comedy acts over six decades. Its intimate size and unusual configuration make it a favourite with artists who want close contact with their audience.
