Lyric Theatre
Fast track to a more intimate theater experience
Marvel and our project team transformed the Lyric Theatre during a uniquely intense and collaborative 10 months sprint. Prior to renovation, the Lyric was an exceptionally large auditorium constructed in the 1990s with historic aspects from two older Broadway venues. Our team erected a new theater within the existing with the goal of heightening the sense of intimacy between the actors and audience. New interior columns, walls, boxes, and ceilings refine the auditorium space while reshaping of the balcony brings the audience closer to the stage. Lighting, finishes, and mechanical systems were upgraded in support of the transformation. The Lyric Theatre reopened in the spring of 2018, premiering the North American production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
The theater boxes and ceiling were brought inwards and the balcony extended and reshaped to create a more intimate experience for actors and audience.
According to Harry Potter Theatrical Productions, the shape of the stage had to be significantly altered to create “a bespoke home that will be intimate enough for a drama.”

The scope is a total bespoke reinvention of the auditorium interiors including new interior partitions and ceilings and structural columns with modifications to the existing balconies and boxes and upgrades to the mechanical systems. The aesthetic was a collaboration with the production set designers.
The details of the Lyric Theatre are crafted with direct references to the play along with an integrated lighting system that enable a variety of scenic expressions.
Details and documentation of custom plaster elements, finishes, and lighting contribute to a memorably immersive theatrical experience, the result of close collaboration with the production’s set designers.
“We are proud that Broadway audiences are going to experience the beautifully renovated Lyric Theatre that has been so sensitively and lovingly designed”
