Tickets at Lyceum Theatre
The Lyceum Theatre was built by producer Daniel Frohman in 1903. It was purchased in 1940 by a group of producers and later changed hands to the Shuberts where it has remained ever since. The building has been declared a landmark and still uses Frohman's former apartment above the theater as the Shubert Archive.
The Lyceum is Broadway's oldest continually operating legitimate theater.

About The Nance on Broadway
Story for The Nance
In the world of 1930’s burlesque, a nance was a wildly popular character, a stereotypically camp homosexual man, most times played by a straight performer. In The Nance, playwright Douglas Carter Beane tells the story of Chauncey Miles (to be played by Nathan Lane), a headline nance performer in New York burlesque, who also happens to be a homosexual. Integrating burlesque sketches into his drama, Beane paints, with humor and pathos, the portrait of a homosexual man, living and working in the secretive and dangerous gay world of 1930’s New York, whose outrageous antics on the burlesque stage stand in marked contrast to his messy offstage life.
