DOMINION THEATRE
268-269 Tottenham Court Road,
London, W1T 7AQ
The steel framed Dominion Theatre was built in 1928 and designed by William and T. R Millburn with a façade of Portland Stone. It has a surprisingly small frontage for such a large theatre which has a seating capacity of 2835.
The auditorium was built on three levels, Stalls, Dress, and Upper Circle which is no longer used and the current capacity stands at 2007.
Just a year after opening the Dominion Theatre was converted into a cinema and in 1933 was sold to Gaumont British. It did play host to some live entertainment in the 50s and 60s but this was for concerts and not theatre.
The Dominion was converted back into a theatre in 1981 and has been staging large scale musicals ever since. “We Will Rock You” opened here on the 14th May 2002 and closed at the end of May 2014.
