Lyceum Theatre, Theatre in Wellington Street, London, United Kingdom

The Lyceum Theatre spans three levels with a capacity of 2,100 seats, featuring a distinctive balcony that extends over the dress circle section.

The theatre began its journey in 1765 under Samuel Arnold's management, and in 1834 underwent reconstruction following a fire, with architect Samuel Beazley's design.

Henry Irving led the theatre from 1871 to 1902, directing numerous Shakespeare productions and establishing the venue as a center for classical performances.

The theatre maintains regular performances of The Lion King musical, with tickets available through the official website and box office on Wellington Street.

The venue served as a Mecca Ballroom from 1951 to 1986, hosting performances by many leading bands before returning to theatrical productions.
