The Lyric Theatre opened its doors on 17 December 1888 and has a rich history of hosting various productions over the years. Originally built as a venue for musical comedies, it has evolved over time. The Lyric has undergone several renovations, including a major restoration in the 1990s, which brought back its nobility.

• The Lyric Theatre showcases Renaissance architecture, with an attractive red brick exterior and intricate interior detailing - plush red velvet seats, ornate plasterwork, and beautiful stained-glass windows.
  
• The refurbished foyer and bars have taken their inspiration from the 1930s Art Deco style.
  
• The theatre is complete with its state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems.

Lyric Theatre has showcased several remarkable productions throughout its history, including Dorothy, Doris, The Mountebanks, His Excellency, The Sign of the Cross, Florodora, and well-known musicals like Hairspray and Thriller Live.
