While the interior continues this theme the seating arrangements and projection technology have been brought bang up to date. Only having 4 screens may means the range of films available is less than the multiplexes, but the friendly service and timeless atomosphere more than make up for it.

Advantages: Fantastic show, outstanding cast, great story, the songs! Disadvantages: snacks in the theatre are a little overpriced
accessible. In fact, it is only a ten minute walk from Leicester Square. Although the Dominion Theatre is pretty centrally located, it is actually quite a way away from all the other theatres, the area which is often referred to as 'Theatreland'.
The Dominion Theatre was built in 1928 and was converted into a cinema in 1930. Charlie Chaplin's City Lights ran in this very theatre with Charlie Chaplin making a personal appearance. As well as there being the theatre itself, there is also a dressing room block and administration rooms on the right hand side of the building and then there are shops, offices and residential buildings on the left of the theatre.
The Dominion Theatre is able to seat 2060 people and if one of the larger theatres in London.

But for me it's a bit........well........parochial. The recent developments in the financial areas have given it a bit of an edge with some sharp architecture. There are plenty of bars, pubs and clubs (but many with less atmosphere than the moon)and it has a few good cinemas, the best still being the Dominion.
It still leaves me a bit cold. I can't put my finger on it. I studied here for 5 years in ...
Advantages: Great show Disadvantages: Digraceful ticketing system.
Square so grab something to eat there and get on down to the 'Dominion'.
