Lyric Theatre

As the oldest surviving Theatre along Shaftesbury Avenue, the Lyric Theatre is full of late Renaissance charm. This means that, with some help from restoration work, the theatre has many of its original features and, sadly for the modern-day audience member, this also means that many architectural pillars remain in the auditorium. There are a lot of visual restrictions affecting the Lyric Theatre, not just the odd pillar. The U shape of the auditorium means that there are many instances of side angle views, and as the theatre is on four levels, the Circle overhangs can be a bit of an issue. Luckily these seats tend to be significantly cheaper than others, however when visiting the Lyric it is always best to plan your seating in advance to avoid any sight-line heartbreak. Below is a list of the various seating levels and what price seats they offer, along with a list of restrictions for the cheaper seats. Please note that prices are subject to vary depending on the show.
