Lyceum Theatre, Historic theater in Midtown Manhattan, United States

The Lyceum Theatre at 149 West 45th Street features a limestone facade with six Corinthian columns and three seating levels totaling 922 seats.

Constructed in 1903 by producer Daniel Frohman, the Lyceum Theatre represents the oldest continuously operating legitimate theater venue in New York City.

The theater maintains its original Beaux-Arts architecture with marble interiors, groin-vaulted ceilings, decorative murals, and an ornate proscenium arch design.

The venue provides audio description devices and captioning systems for visitors with visual or hearing impairments at the main entrance level.

The theater includes a private apartment above the stage where producer Frohman used white handkerchiefs to signal his wife during her performances.
