Located in London’s West End in the City of Westminster, the theatre dates back to 1765. The building was rebuilt in 1834 after the first theatre burnt down, and then rebuilt again and ornamented in the Rococo style in 1904. The current building retains the original’s façade and portico. The theatre has housed the circus, the opera, and a display of Madame Taussauds’ waxworks. The Lyceum has been home to The Lion King since 1999.
