The Dominion Theatre is a theatre in London situated on Tottenham Court Road close to St Giles' Circus and Centre Point Tower. The building was made in 1928 and became a cinema in 1930. It is no longer used for movie premieres. It chiefly hosts live stage shows and concerts. It has a seating capacity of 2,182.
Tangerine Dream's album Logos was proofed there in 1982, and contains a tune called "Dominion" in compliment.
Since the early 1990's the venue has played host to a exclusive version of Jesus Christ Superstar, David Ian and Paul Nicholas' new production of Grease, Scrooge - The Musical, Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake, Disney's Beauty & The Beast, a return of Grease and Notre-Dame De Paris amongst others.
In 2003, the hit stage musical We Will Rock You, a musical based on the songs of Queen made by Queen guitarist Brian May and British comedian Ben Elton opened.
From 2007, it is extensively wondered that the venue will play host to the London transfer of a new stage musical of The Lord of the Rings.
