The Lyric Theatre in London is a west end theatre located on Shaftesbury Avenue in the City of Westminster.
The theatre was designed by C.J. Phipps, and built by producer Henry Leslie with profits from the Alfred Cellier and B.C. Stephenson hit show Dorothy which he transferred from the Prince Of Wales Theatre to open the new venue on 17th December 1888.
The Lyric was the second theatre to be constructed on this stretch of Shaftesbury Avenue and is now the oldest on the street. The foyer and bars were fully refurbished in 1932-33, and the facade was restored in 1994. At present it seats a capacity of 967 on four levels, although it originally was designed with a capacity of 1,306. The theatre still uses an electric pump to operate its iron curtain.
Early in the Lyric Theatre's history, it staged mostly comic operas but later it has been a home to light comedies, musicals and straight drama plays.
The theatre has retained many of its original features including being built behind an original 1767 house front, at the rear to Great Windmill Street, the former house and museum of Sir William Hunter and the theatre was Grade II listed by English Heritage in September 1960.
