With the occupancy of 2100,
Lyceum Theatre London is positioned in Westend Theatre in the City of Westminster on Wellington Street.
On 14th July 1834,
the current site marked its opening and was designed by Samuel Beazley. A
balcony was overhanging the dress circle which makes the building unique. With
the stunning collaboration of Peto & Grissell, Lyceum Theatre was
constructed.
Bertie Crewe reconstructed the
beautifully ornamented Lyceum Theatre in rococo style in the year 1904. Even
after renovation, Beazley’s façade and grand portico had been retained. In the
year 1939, the building was closed and was about to be destroyed. However, it
was transformed into Mecca Ballroom in the year 1951. Holohan Architects
restored it for theatrical purpose in the year 1996.
The present house was opened in
the year 1834 with frontage on Wellington
Street with the name of Theatre Royal Lyceum and
English Opera House. Beazley designed the theatre with the cost of £40,000.
During the initial years, composer John Barnett produced many popular works
such as The Mountain Sylph, Fair Rosamund, Farinelli and many more.
Some of the notable productions
at the Lyceum Theatre are Jesus Christ Superstar, Oklahoma and The Lion King. So come and feel
