Inspired by ancient Greek mythology, this eight-time Tony Award-winning musical invites audiences on a journey to the underworld and back, asking timeless questions about trust, sacrifice, and the cost of freedom.

📍 Venue Description: Situated on London’s iconic Shaftesbury Avenue, the Lyric Theatre is the oldest surviving venue on the street, with a rich heritage dating back to 1888. Designed by prolific theatre architect C.J. Phipps, the Lyric Theatre was commissioned by Henry Leslie following the huge success of his comic opera Dorothy. That same show launched the theatre’s opening night and cemented its early reputation for musical theatre.
Today, the Lyric Theatre London remains a treasured part of the West End landscape. With a capacity of 915 seats spread across four levels, the venue offers an intimate yet grand experience for audiences. The Lyric Theatre has hosted everything from classic plays to global musical hits, and continues to attract major productions and renowned performers, ensuring its place as one of the capital’s most-loved theatrical spaces. *[**Hadestown**](
https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/hadestown-tickets "Hadestown")* has been playing at the Lyric Theatre since February 2024.
### The History of the Lyric Theatre
The Lyric Theatre has seen more than a century of celebrated performances and dramatic reinventions. Over its first four decades, it gained popularity through comic operas such as The Mountebanks and Lilac Time, and would later feature plays by Shakespeare, Noël Coward and George Bernard Shaw. Legendary stars like Ellen Terry, Tallulah Bankhead, Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh have graced its stage.
Built around the remnants of Sir William Hunter’s 18th-century museum, the theatre is steeped in fascinating history. Despite damage during WWI — including a bomb strike said to have left the venue haunted — the Lyric has always bounced back. Its ornate bars were refurbished in the 1930s, its façade restored in the 1990s, and it remains the only West End theatre still operating an iron curtain powered by an original hydraulic pump.
