The Lyceum was built in 1903 by Daniel Frohman . Brother Charles Frohman acted as manager until his death in 1915; David Belasco later brought some of his productions into the theatre. It has traditionally been used as a venue for plays and solo performances.

The theatre maintains most of its original Beaux-Arts design, including its elaborate marble staircases and undulating marquee. Although it has three levels, it is one of the smallest Broadway theatres in terms of capacity, seating only 922. An apartment above the orchestra, originally used by Frohman, is now the headquarters of the Shubert Archives.

The Frohman brothers' earlier Lyceum Theatre was located at 4th Avenue and E. 23rd Street. Opened in 1885 and demolished in 1902 , it was the first theatre to exclusively use electric lighting.
