Refurbishment of theatre in time for landmark performance
14.10.2019
Roll up, roll up – for a very special performance of The Lion King. This month, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this iconic Disney musical, a special gala performance is taking place at its west end home, the Lyceum Theatre.
To make sure the theatre was looking its best, the Lyceum embarked on a programme of refurbishments to be completed in time for this for this special occasion.
Here at Equals we were excited to be involved in this, providing project management services on the replacement of seats and carpets in the auditorium, toilet refurbishment throughout the venue and the refurbishment of the dressing rooms for the cast. All these updates have been carried out while the theatre has continued to operate, with performances taking place on a full schedule.
This performance is in support of the Elton John AIDS Foundation and the Royal Academy of Music. You can still book tickets here.

Equals has recently secured a position on the Places for People, Procurement Hub DPS for quantity surveying, employer’s agent, project management, and building surveying services.

It is responsible for more than 140,000 properties and over 100 leisure centres across the UK and currently provide services to over 500,000 people.
The DPS has, with the recent changes to the Public Contract Regulations (2015), become a more considered and used option in public sector procurement – open to all public sector clients and offering savings by simplifying the procurement processes.
The public sector is currently navigating through a chaotic and challenging period and is crying out for ‘new ideas and new people’ to provide solutions, and quickly. The DPS is the perfect opportunity to stimulate the market, and fast track the solutions that are desperately needed.
