Lyceum Theatre hold the distinction for being the oldest Broadway theatre, the oldest continuously operating theatre in New York City, and the first Broadway theatre to be listed as a national landmark (in 1974). Although it is one of the smallest Broadway theatre by capacity, seating only 950, it is one of the few theatres in New York to still be operating under its original name.
