Description

Please if you visit this venue tell them you found it on South Yorkshire Entertainment.com

Designed by WGR Sprague, the Lyceum Theatre originally opened in 1897. A traditional proscenium arch theatre, this 1068-seat listed building is Sprague's only surviving design outside London. Following its closure in 1968, the Lyceum endured spells as – among other things – a bingo hall and a rock venue before undergoing a £12 million renovation and reopening as a Number One Touring Venue in 1991.

The Lyceum is the main receiving venue for touring productions in the Sheffield Theatres complex, but following a recent grant from Arts Council England, will be used increasingly to stage Sheffield Theatres' own work. In a diverse programme comprising opera, ballet, contemporary dance and West End hits, recent visitors have included Alan Bennett's multi-award-winning The History Boys, Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical blockbuster Cats and the very best in cutting edge choreography courtesy of Companhia de Dança Deborah Colker.
