1903 Beaux-Arts landmark; oldest continuously operating legitimate theater in NYC. 409 orchestra + 287 first balcony + 210 second balcony + 16 boxes. Hosting Oh, Mary! (open-ended; no closing announced).
The short version
The Lyceum is a 1903 Beaux-Arts landmark — the oldest continuously operating legitimate theater in NYC — with 922 seats across an orchestra, first and second balconies, and 16 box seats. The house is small enough that the second balcony still feels intimate for a comedy this dialogue-driven; the ornate proscenium and groin-vaulted lobby are the room's other draws. Centre orchestra is premium; front first balcony is the sweet-spot value pick.
Section by section
Sections are ordered roughly cheapest-to-most-expensive within the house's seating tiers — but the best value isn't always the cheapest. Watch for the sweet spot.
-
Orchestra (409 seats)
Centre orchestra is premium for the physical-comedy detail. Aisle seats stay easy to exit for a fast 80-minute run with no intermission.
-
First Balcony (287 seats)
Best value at the Lyceum — clean sightlines from a comfortable height, priced under centre orchestra.
-
Second Balcony (210 seats)
Cheapest paid tier. Real distance from the stage but the house is small enough that dialogue and expression still land.
-
Boxes (16 seats)
Traditional side-boxes — great for atmosphere in a landmark 1903 house; sightlines are angled.
