Dominion Theatre Hotels

The Dominium was originally built as a theatre in 1929, but after only a year of unsuccessful shows, it was transformed into a cinema.  It was turned back into a live theatre in 1981 and has been a venue for big musicals from that time on, including Jesus Christ Superstar, Scrooge – The Musical, Grease and We Will Rock You.

The theatre has 4 licensed bars and sweets are sold from the kiosk in the foyer.  You can also pick up some souvenirs from the merchandise shops in the stalls cloakroom and foyer.  There is a seating capacity of 2,007 over 2 levels (a third level has been closed since 1958).  Clear views are offered from all but the very back of the Stalls, which are affected just a little by the overhang from the upper tier.  The building is air conditioned.

There is an induction loop sound amplification system in the auditorium.  The building has level access into the foyer and there is a platform lift to the stalls where there are 3 spaces for wheelchair users.  Alternatively, a maximum of 3 motorised wheelchair or wheelchair users can go in Box B, which is accessed from Bainbridge Street.  There is a slightly restricted view of the stage from the box.  There is an adapted toilet in both the stalls and beside Box B. 

The nearest tube station is Tottenham Court Road (100m).  There is a Westminster City Council Car Park at Poland Street or an NCP at Great Russell Street.
