We’re offering you the exclusive opportunity to have your photo taken with a member of the cast on the Lyric Theatre stage, moments after you saw the multi award-winning show. 

For those of you who prefer something slightly cooler than the pits of hell, why not treat yourself to a trip to Titanique, where a photo op with a cast member awaits! You’ll be travelling 1st class all the way, when you step onto the Criterion Theatre stage for your photo with a professional photographer.   

Another Olivier Award-winning production taking part in our exclusive onstage experience is the Fiddler on the Roof!
