History

The Lyric Theatre opened on 17 December 1888 on Shaftesbury Avenue (where it is currently oldest theatre on the street). It was originally built for Henry J Leslie as a home for operettas, but over the years has become more associated with straight dramas, comedies, and musicals.

Whilst the theatre retains a lot of its original features (including the 1767 house front it was built behind), it refurbished the foyer and bars in 1932-33, and the façade was restored in 1994.

One of the theatres most successful productions was 1950s The Little Hut, which ran for 1,261 performances. Tragedy struck during a production of Loot in 1984, when Leonard Rossiter suddenly passed away due to heart troubles whilst waiting to go onstage. The Really Useful Group purchased the Lyric in 2000.

The venue is incredible, we saw Hadestown which was an amazing show. They use the stage so well, pieces can go up and down, walls move, they have swinging pieces and strobe lights. Drinks were themed to the show and tasted great, decent toilets, friendly staff who went the extra mile.

A wonderful chamber theater, founded in 1880, located near Piccadilly Circus tube station. We really enjoyed "Hadestown," a touching and timeless story of Orpheus and Eurydice. The actors were superb. The staff was polite, and everything was wonderful, except for the slightly cramped and uncomfortable seats, which caused some discomfort. Otherwise, everything was great.

Saw Hadestown New Years Eve. We were upgraded to row G. We thought our view in the stalls would be obscured by people in front but we had an excellent view. The Musical itself was ok, with some very talented singers. The theatre itself is lovely and just a few metres walk from Piccadilly tube station.

The staff at the Lyric Theatre were fantastic — well-presented, professional, and incredibly friendly. They managed the crowd on the busy street efficiently and made sure everyone was guided smoothly to their sections. Inside, the venue was clean and easy to navigate. Finding our seats, restrooms, and concession areas was straightforward, which made for a stress-free experience. The balcony layout offered good viewing angles overall, though the higher seating sections do extend quite far above the stage. This can make it a bit challenging to see over taller audience members, and the distance from the stage can lessen the sense of immersion slightly. Of course, this depends on ticket choice and price range, but it’s something to keep in mind when booking. We watched Hadestown, and the performance was absolutely brilliant. The main cast delivered powerful, moving vocals, and the supporting ensemble was impressively synchronized throughout. The live on-stage musicians added an incredible energy that’s best appreciated in person. Show timings were punctual from start to finish, and the entire production was a joy to watch. Overall, the Lyric Theatre offers a great experience — excellent staff, a well-kept venue, and a world-class show. Just be mindful of your seating choice for the best view.
