The Lyric Theatre is situated in Shaftesbury Avenue in the City of Westminster, London. Built by famous producer Henry Leslie, the West End theatre opened on 17 December 1888 and its first performance was the light opera, Dorothy. For most of its existence, the Lyric Theatre has been known to specialise in musicals, some famous productions being Hairspray, Thriller Live, Get Up, Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical and others. Even today, this grand Renaissance-style venue, with some elements of Art Deco, is a brilliant place to catch a West End musical.

Smooth ticket purchase. Everything as expected. I've used this service before and it was a good experience. I intend to continue using it.

Great music, wonderful singing- especially Mr Hades. Having the musicians on stage made the setting more intimate. Wonderful jazz solos too.
The music and the cast were splendid, as was the production. Our seats in the dress circle should have been good, but unfortunately we had very tall people sitting in front of us, which partially obstructed our view of the stage. Luckily the music and songs more than made up for it. We loved the modern twist on the Ancient Greek myth, the eternal story of love, loss, and power.
Tickets were easily accessible on the app. I would like to get more information about the venue next time before purchasing tickets.
Loved the show! Overall experience.. was a bit chaotic getting in... queued for ages outside and then weren't allowed to purchase a drink and sat in our seats for 10 mins before it started ...parched ... disappointed there are no hot drinks for sale in the building at half time too.
