Sheffield Lyceum

A Memory of Sheffield.

My first visit to this beautiful (and my favourite) theatre was to see Ronnie Hilton in the pantomime 'Sleeping Beauty'. It was then I fell in love with the theatre in general and the Lyceum in particular. It was a great loss to the Sheffield entertainment scene in 1969 and I was one of many people who tried to get it reopened during the 1970s and 1980s. It was great to see it re-furbished and re-opened in 1990 and whenever I am in Sheffield I always try and catch a show there. It was designed by W G R Sprague, opened in 1897, and is now the only surviving Sprague theatre outside London. With its modern sister theatre, the Crucible, next door, Sheffield once again has a great cultural quarter.
