Our building began its extraordinary life in 1895 as an intimate opera house. It was designed by the prolific theatre architect, Frank Matcham, and was originally built on another site a little further down King Street.

During the first 70 years of our life we fell on good times and bad. In 1966 the Lyric was forced to close its doors and scheduled for demolition to make way for a housing and shopping complex. But a public outcry ensued and, instead, the theatre was carefully dismantled piece by piece and rebuilt on the current site along with a contemporary black-box studio space. The new Lyric was re-opened in 1979 by the Queen.

In 2004 our building underwent another major redevelopment led by the internationally acclaimed architect Rick Mather. This reorientated the old small entrance on King Street to an impressive new entrance on Lyric Square and also created a new ticket office, street level cafe, rehearsal and workshop spaces.

We have recently started work on the next phase of our life. A multi-million pound project to expand the current building to create new facilities for training young people to become the theatre-makers of the future, scheduled for completion in 2013.

Over the hundred year history the Lyric has welcomed some of the world's finest writers, directors, actors and theatre companies to its stages. From Harold Pinter to Simon Stephens, Sir John Gielgud to Robert Lepage, Complicite to Frantic Assembly.

Today we present 1000 performances a year that bring over 150,000 people through our doors - people of all ages and backgrounds from across London and beyond.

FATHERLAND is a bold new theatre show created by Scott Graham from Frantic Assembly, Underworld's Karl Hyde and playwright Simon Stephens, focusing on contemporary fatherhood in all its complexities and contradictions.

The show will transform the familiar spaces of Manchester's Royal Exchange Theatre, with a cast of 13 men and a remarkable, all-embracing musical score by Karl Hyde and Matthew Herbert. Part of the London International Festival of Theatre (LIFT)  (plus)

Joué durant  1 mois 2 semaines

Première preview: Inconnu
Première: 08 December 1983
Dernière: 21 January 1984

Compositeur: Benny Andersson • Björn Ulvaeus •  
Parolier: Don Black • Mike Batt •  
Libettiste: Alain Boublil • Daniel Boublil • David Wood •

Chorégraphe: Anthony Van Laast •  
Avec: Elaine Paige (Teacher/Carabosse), Finola Hughes (Cinderella), Michael Praed (Aladdin), B.A. Robertson (Beast/Prince), Sylvester McCoy (Pinocchio), Dexter Fletcher, Nigel Harman, Jenna Russell. 


Commentaire: This was hugely successful at the Lyric, but was so obviously a kind of pantomime, that there was no possibility of getting it to play other than in holiday periods. Daniel and Alain Boublil were, surprisingly, not related in any way. This first involvement of Alain Boublil with Cameron Mackintosh was, of course, to prove hugely important in the future of British musicals.  (plus)

Commentaire: Lene Lovich was not felt to have anything like the charisma which must have marked the real Mata Hari and, even though a lot of money had been invested in staging and costumes with a view to a transfer, the show quietly came to the end of its season and disappeared.  (plus)

Commentaire: This opened the new season at the Lyric Hammersmith, and was chosen to mark the 60th anniversary of the famous Nigel Playfair production of 1920 - the legendary “Beggar’s Opera” which ran for over three years and made a large profit at a time when the Lyric was facing severe financial problems. Unfortunately this revival did not achieve anything like the same public appeal and according to Ned Sherrin in “Plays & Players” was “much spat upon” by the critics and was “a great embarrassment”.  (plus)
