none of the exits were open, and they had made a big deal about where the exits were at the beginning std speech, and it was a bit scary...we're in the middle of a world crisis, if you remember. The Lyceum (sp?) is a huge theatre and they were packed. The only time I was in a theatre with a fire, they announced it, but no one was sure it wasn't part of the play. But when Frank Langella got up from his seat and started to leave, everyone else did too. Eventually, we came back in from the street and the play continued, but a lot of people had left. It was in the old roundabout (?) on the east side of bdwy. A musical called ?????? It'll come to me, just like in last night's play.

The Lyceum is a huge theatre?

No - the Lyceum is not a huge theatre by Broadway standards, but I agree that it is frustrating when some theatres, like the Lyceum, do not allow their orchestra side doors to be used for exiting patrons, and everyone has to crawl up the aisles to get to the lobby. It can take a long time to exit the Lyceum because the orchestra aisles all lead to a somewhat narrow passageway between the last row orchestra and the lobby doors. I notice that many theatres that do not have side doors that exit right onto the street do not permit exiting into the alleyways along the sides of the theatre. But, still, no cause for yelling.
