About The Theatre<\/a> Seating Plan<\/a><\/p>\n

The Lyric Theatre London opened on 17th December, 1888 with the hit comic opera, \u2018Dorothy\u2019.The theatre was designed by renowned architect, C.J Phipps for Henry J. Leslie, who financed the construction of this new theater from the profits he made from \u2018Dorothy\u2019. The Lyric Theatre, today, is one of four theatres on Shaftesbury Avenue, the others being the Apollo<\/a>, Gielgud<\/a>, and Queens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An interesting fact about this theatre is that it still uses water to operate its iron curtains. Originally this water was sourced from the Thames River using hydraulically operated lifts, but now this is done using an electric pump.<\/p>\n

Some of the most popular and well received productions to have graced the stage here include \u2018Blood Brothers\u2019, \u2018Five Guys Named Moe\u2019, \u2018Cat on a Hot Tin Roof\u2019, and \u2018Cabaret\u2019.<\/p>\n
