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.
