Lyceum Theatre
Overview
The Lyceum holds a title no other Broadway house can claim: continuously operating as a legitimate theater since 1903, making it older than every other working Broadway venue. Its Beaux-Arts facade with six Corinthian columns and twin marble staircases have made it a NYC landmark since 1974 (the first Broadway theater so designated). One of Broadway's smaller houses, it has found a lasting niche hosting small-cast plays, comedies, and intimate musicals.
Notable Shows
- Oh, Mary! (current)
- "Master Harold"...and the Boys
- The Scottsboro Boys
- A century-plus of small-cast plays and comedies
History
Built in 1903 by producer-manager Daniel Frohman in the Beaux-Arts style (architects Herts & Tallant), the Lyceum is Broadway's oldest continuously operating legitimate theater and was the first Broadway house granted NYC landmark status, in 1974. Frohman's personal apartment above the theater, with a hidden window overlooking the stage, now houses the Shubert Archives.
