Lyceum Theatre, Theatre in City of Westminster, England

The Lyceum Theatre stands with a grand portico and features a balcony that extends over the dress circle, accommodating 2,100 spectators in its auditorium.

Following a complete reconstruction in 1904, architect Bertie Crewe incorporated Rococo decorations while maintaining Samuel Beazley's original 1834 facade design.

Between 1939 and 1951, the theatre transformed into the Lyceum Ballroom, where numerous dance bands performed for London's social gatherings.

The theatre maintains regular performance schedules of The Lion King musical since 1999, with accessible seating arrangements across multiple levels.

From 1794 to 1809, the building hosted various entertainment forms, including Philip Astley's circus and Madame Tussaud's first London waxworks exhibition.
