About this place

The Lyric is one of Broadway’s largest and most technically capable venues, rebuilt from the footprints of two earlier theaters. Its current identity blends historic theater references with the infrastructure needed for immersive large-scale productions.

Trivia

Today’s Lyric was created over the foundations of the original Lyric Theatre and Apollo Theatre. It is currently known for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, whose staging uses the room’s scale and technology as part of the experience.

Visiting tips

Because the Lyric hosts a high-demand, effects-heavy production, allow time for entry and merchandise crowds. It is near both Times Square–42nd Street and 42nd Street–Port Authority subway access.
