Lyric Theatre Capacity

The Lyric Theatre London has a capacity of 993 seats. Section capacities are 428 Stalls, 177 Dress Circle, 178 Grand Circle and 210 Balcony. Use our interactive seating plan to view 6904 seat reviews and 6151 view from seat photos.

There are restricted views in certain areas of the auditorium due to the placement of support pillars, which can result in major viewing obstructions. The rows curve into a horseshoe shape, which can cause seats at the ends of rows to suffer from a side-angle view of the stage.

Good value seats

Due to the shape of the auditorium and the number of pillars in the Lyric Theatre there are several restricted view seats at lower cost, which could be good for those looking to view the show on a budget - especially if they have seen the show before. Seats surrounding premium seats in the Stalls offer a very similar view for around £20 less!

Premium seats

Premium seats are located in the centre of the Stalls in rows F-J. These seats have the best view overall view of the stage, which is reflected in ticket pricing. Alternatively, seats in the front and centre of the Dress Circle can offer a great view!

Recommended Box Seats

Upgrade your date night or treat your friends to an unforgettable evening by booking a private box on your next visit to the Lyric Theatre. The Lyric Theatre box seats are primarily located in the Dress Circle with 4 boxes running down each side of the auditorium. Ranging between two and three seats, all of the boxes contain freestanding chairs that allow patrons to maximise their view and comfort.

The box seats, particularly those in Box L , Box H and Box C , received strong reviews from SeatPlan users who gave 5 stars for both legroom and overall comfort. Priced comparably to seats in the Grand Circle, the Dress Circle boxes offer great value and an elevated experience due to the privacy and additional space for you and your party.

The slight downside of the view is that it is close to the stage, and you would need not too much but a bit of craning. But t... More
