Lyric Theatre
214 W 43rd St, New York, NY 10036
The Lyric Theatre opened in 1998 (Wikipedia). Ambassador Theatre Group’s page says it was built on the foundations of the original Lyric and Apollo theatres, and Wikipedia says it was built using parts of both and designed by Beyer Blinder Belle. Wikipedia gives its original capacity as 1,821; in 2017 and early 2018 it was renovated for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which is in residence.
It is one of Broadway’s larger houses, with 1,622 seats on three levels that ATG’s access page names the Orchestra, the Dress Circle and the Balcony. Its entrances are on 42nd and 43rd Streets; the accessible 42nd Street entrance has an elevator to the Orchestra and the Dress Circle, and no elevator reaches the Balcony. In our view, the front of the Dress Circle is worth pricing against centre orchestra, and before buying near the back of the orchestra, look at a seat-view photo.
Operated by Ambassador Theatre Group; Wikipedia says ATG and Jujamcyn Theaters agreed to merge in early 2023, giving the combined company seven Broadway theatres. Address: 214 W 43rd St.
