About

The Lyceum Theatre's Beaux Arts facade, with its six ornate Corinthian columns, stands out among Broadway's newer houses. It's the oldest continually operating legitimate theatre on Broadway, opened in 1903. The interior still features the original marble foyer and grand staircases. Above the theatre, producer David Frohman built himself an apartment with a small door overlooking the stage. It's a piece of theater history that feels intimate even during a big show.

The Lyceum sits between Broadway and Sixth Avenue in Times Square, making it easy to grab dinner before a performance. The Shubert Organization has run it since 1950. If you're exploring Manhattan's theater district, you might also visit the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) for a different kind of art experience nearby. Free WiFi is available in the lobby.
