Lyceum Theatre Capacity
The Lyceum Theatre London has a capacity of 2214 seats. Section capacities are 945 Stalls, 658 Royal Circle and 611 Grand Circle. Use our interactive seating plan to view 5238 seat reviews and 3522 photos of views from seat.
Despite housing one of the largest auditoriums in the West End, the theatre provides excellent views throughout the auditorium. Seating feels close to the stage, with minimal restrictions and great overall views.
Central aisle seats are an experience like no other because they guarantee an encounter with performers and animal puppets as the show begins. They are brilliant for kids! The Royal Circle is another popular choice for families because of its elevated, panoramic view of the stage. From here you can be wowed by the drama and magic of the show without heads getting in the way.
If you want cheaper tickets that still deliver a magical experience, Stalls Boxes are a fantastic choice. They usually cost less than elsewhere in the Stalls due to their height and side-on angle, which is classed as a restricted view. Theatregoers who have chosen these seats are full of praise - they are huge fun to sit in (get ready for some surprises from cast members before Act 2!) and according to some reviewers you will feel “like royalty”!
Boxes are also some of the best value seats for extra legroom thanks to adjustable free-standing chairs, with row R in the Stalls another top choice because there is a horizontal aisle in front.
