Dominion Theatre Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to the Dominion Theatre?
Few London theatres are easier: the Dominion stands at 268–269 Tottenham Court Road, W1T 7AQ, immediately beside Tottenham Court Road station, which carries the Central, Northern and Elizabeth lines. Leicester Square and Oxford Circus are both a short walk away if your route suits them better. The building's tall brick frontage is impossible to miss from the crossing.
Is the Dominion Theatre an accessible space?
Yes, and it is one of the better-equipped houses in the West End for it. Access from the street leads straight into the foyer, and a platform lift serves the Stalls, where the wheelchair spaces ZZ50 and XX50 sit with companion seats beside them; the Nederlander Box is set aside for electric wheelchairs. Accessible toilets serve both the Stalls and the Box areas, infra-red hearing systems are provided, assistance dogs are welcome, and Access Hosts are on hand throughout the visit rather than only at the door.
What time should I arrive at the Dominion Theatre?
Half an hour before the start. The Dominion holds a very large audience and empties a Tube station straight onto its doorstep, so the security queue builds quickly in the last quarter of an hour. Get there early and you can take in the art deco foyer, visit one of the bars and reach the Circle without hurrying up the stairs.
Can I buy merchandise and souvenirs at the Dominion Theatre?
Yes, from three points: the merchandise store in the Stalls foyer, a counter in the Stalls cloakroom and another behind the Champagne Bar. All three open before the performance, at the interval and afterwards, which spreads the crowd nicely in a house this size.
Is there a dress code at the Dominion Theatre?
None at all. The Dominion plays host to big musicals with correspondingly mixed audiences — families at a matinee, work parties in the evening — and everyone turns up in what suits them. Sit-in-comfort is the only rule worth following, plus something light to hand: the upper levels of a house this tall can warm up once it is full.
Does the Dominion Theatre have a cloakroom, and is there a charge?
Yes, though it is small and space is limited, and a modest fee applies per item. The rule to know is that anything which will not fit under your seat has to go into the cloakroom — as does any alcohol not bought on the premises. Worth bearing in mind if you are coming straight from the shops on Oxford Street.
Dominion Theatre history
From the outside
The Dominion Theatre, with its massive gold-coloured statue overlooking the foyer, is one of many fine examples of stunning 1930s Art Deco architecture in London’s theatreland. The beauty of its clean lines and elegant proportions bely the fact that the site was once a leper colony and , later, a brewery. Inside there’s a huge auditorium with sweeping rows of plush seats and an intricate decorated ceiling.
Dominion Theatre architecture and history
The Dominion Theatre was built in 1928 to ’29, with a steel frame, pale Portland stone facade and room for almost 3,000 people in the auditorium. Designed by W and TR Milburn, it was intended for live theatre but converted to a cinema in the early 1930s.
Built on the site of the Horse Shoe Brewery, it’s a location with a tragic past. When a huge vat of beer burst in 1814, twenty people were either crushed to death or drowned in alcohol.
Closing briefly at the height of the Blitz in October 1940, the theatre re-opened in January 1941.In December 1956 Rank, the cinema people, looked at rewiring and refurbishing the stage and facilities, but the cost was too high and they backed down.
The Dominion was finally used as a live theatre venue in 1957, at long last, with the Judy Garland Show, although they kept showing films too. South Pacific played April 1958, running for more than four years and closing in autumn 1962. Then it was the turn of Samuel Goldwyn’s Porgy and Bess. Cleopatra took the stage in 1963 followed by The Sound of Music in ’65 and Star, which followed major redecoration in 1968.
The Return of the Jedi opened in 1983 and the ‘80s also saw the Dominion become a popular venue for gigs, with appearances by bright stars like Dolly Parton. In the mid ‘80s the musical Time led to more internal reconstruction to house the show’s special effects.
There has been plenty of renovation over the past few years, including the creation of a rehearsal space above the foyer, which has seen rehearsals for showstoppers like We Will Rock You, Edward Scissorhands, Les Misérables, Cats, Hairspray and Zorro.
Hauntings at the Dominion!
Audience members have reported seeing the ghost of a brewery worker. Others have heard a ghostly child giggling. There has apparently been plenty of poltergeist activity. And some even suggest that Freddy Mercury’s spirit haunts the theatre.
Past shows at the Dominion Theatre
Since the early 1990s the Dominion Theatre has been home to David Ian and Paul Nicholas' Grease, Scrooge - The Musical, Swan Lake, Beauty and the Beast and Notre Dame de Paris. As well as the enormous West End hit, We Will Rock You.
