About The Venue

The Dominion Theatre, opened in 1929, is a magnificent Art Deco landmark on Tottenham Court Road. Originally a cinema and theatre, it has become renowned for hosting large-scale musicals and spectacular productions. Its grand auditorium boasts one of London's largest capacities, offering a truly immersive theatrical experience within its opulent and historically rich setting.

Seating

The Stalls section is on the ground floor and is the largest seating area. It features a good rake, which generally ensures clear sightlines over the heads of those in front, particularly in the central and front sections. Legroom is typically average to good for a West End theatre. The Dress Circle overhang begins around Row M/N, which can slightly restrict the view of the very top of the stage for people seated in rows further back (e.g., from Row P onwards), especially for productions with significant vertical staging or projections. Seats towards the ends of rows offer slightly angled views but are generally well-regarded. Access is via steps from the main foyer.

Toilets

Gents/Ladies: all levels (Stalls, Circle), front and rear of Stalls, both sides of Circle. Accessible: front left of Stalls.

Bars

Multiple bars: at least two on Stalls level, Champagne Bar at Circle level (top of main stairs). Royal Lounge for hospitality guests.

Cloakroom

Circle level, top of main staircase; £2 per item; opens approximately 45 minutes before performance.

Box Office

In-person ticket collection: from 1 hour before show start. General opening hours: Mon-Sat 12pm-7:45pm.

Stage Door

From main entrance, turn right and walk up the street to the next right turning. Walk up that road/line of shops (adjacent to the first ever YMCA shop) until a red iron gate on the right. Walk down that alleyway to the end, stage door on the right.
