What's On At The Lyceum Theatre?
Lyceum Theatre London
The Lyceum Theatre, also referred to as The Theatre Royal, English Opera House, Mecca Ballroom, etc., has been home to several jaw-dropping performances for over 200 years now. Currently showcasing ‘The Lion King’, everyone’s favorite play and ‘treat to the eyes’, The Lyceum Theatre in London was opened in 1834, designed by Samuel Beazley.
Initially, the Lyceum Theatre was inaugurated in 1765, and it used to host circus acts, small musicals, and serve as the English Opera House. However, the history of Lyceum Theatre throws enough light on holding on to a strong ground, as it was demolished and then reopened as the Lyceum Ballroom in 1951. Famous bands, namely Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin, and The Who, used to perform there. In 1986, the Lyceum Theatre was again shut down and was brought back to theatrical use with an orchestra pit in 1996.
