Lyceum Theatre (New York)

Vaudeville theater owner and agent Martin Beck funded the construction of the Lyceum Theatre and when it opened in 1913, it was considered by many to be a flagship of vaudeville impresarios Benjamin Franklin Keith and Edward Franklin Albee II's organization. It is now one of nine venues on Broadway operated by the Nederlander Organization and is co-owned by Jimmy Nederlander and Broadway producer Stewart Lane.

The theater has a step-free entrance and a fully accessible and step-free Orchestra section with designated seating for wheelchair users. The other sections are not quite as accessible; they are harder to reach and sit on steep rakes that can only be navigated using stairs.

Prices will vary depending on the show, dates, and seats selected. Seats in the Orchestra, particularly further forward and toward the Center tend to go for premium rates, while rear seats and seats in the Mezzanine and Balcony often cost lesser.

The Lyceum Theatre has a capacity of over 900 seats split across three sections. The Orchestra offers great visibility and clearer views of the performances, particularly from rows F-K. The Mezzanine seats give you a wider view of the stage, particularly useful for larger productions, though the best seats in this section are the front row ones. The Balcony seats are the most affordable, and despite the steep rake, height, and distance from the stage, the seats in Rows A and B tend to offer decent views.

The theater sits nestled within a bustling district that offers something for everyone: from tourist attractions like Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum to peaceful escapes like parks, gardens, and a river, including Madison Square Garden and Central Park, and from historic and artistic pursuits like museums and landmark towers, like the Rockefeller and the Empire State Building, to experience centers like escape rooms and off-beat alleyway finds. When you head to the Broadway District, you know you're in for a good time, whichever way you turn.
