Box Office Information:

Tickets offered differ between outlets. Outlets also may offer different seats via their phone and online systems. Offers may be available click here.

Theatre Box Office: Telephone: 0870 169 0116 ( 0161 385 3211 if you cannot use the 0870 number) Operated by Ticketmaster on behalf of the venue. Booking fees per ticket for telephone bookings: £62 and £60 seats have an £8 per ticket fee £52, £50, £47 and £45 seats have a £6.25 per ticket fee £42 and £40 seats have a £5.75 per ticket fee. £32 and £30 seats have a £5.25 per ticket fee. Standing room attracts a £4 fee on £15 places when sold (not always available to pre book). The transaction fee for all prices is £3.75 per booking NOT per ticket - added onto the booking fees above! This takes the total cost of a single top price seat to over £70. No wonder some people call this show "We Will Rob You!". Considering that many people seeing this will be going to the theatre for the first time, the high fee is a terrible thing to impose if we want them to come back again as a regular habit. The monkey is disgusted.  A reader has reported a problem when trying to make a telephone booking on the above number. The Ticketmaster booking code for "We Will Rock You" and events at another theatre, the Donmar Warehouse, are the same apparently. If your operator denies all knowledge of the show, tell them to log into a different computer system, and, magically, they will be able to sell you a ticket! Wonderful things, computers... For personal callers or by post: Tottenham Court Road, London. W1P 0AG No booking fee for personal callers. By post, cheques payable to "Dominion Theatre". Special Access Needs Customers: Wheelchair users and other registered disabled theatregoers can book their seats on 020 7927 0929 and enquire about concessionary prices that may be available to them.

Stalls

Dress Circle

Notes

STALLS  The Dress Circle overhangs the Stalls at row K. The top of the stage becomes invisible from row T back. The stalls are vast, 28 rows, 50 seats per row in four blocks. The rake is very good, aiding the view. In the two central blocks, rows D to H are the best seats in the stalls. Other seats in these blocks offer fair value for money. Sightlines are clear from all seats in the two centre blocks. One reader notes, "was in front row of stalls which is fine, although you miss a small amount of action at rear of stage" another cautions, "I thought I had scored great tickets when I got A26, 27 and 28. The show was phenomenal, but now I know why those seats were available. To look up at the stage, I was constantly craning my neck. When the front part of the stage lifted up and out overhead, I had to crane my neck upwards and still then it was hard to see with the stage “surfboard” overhead. Plus, during the intermission, a theatre employee set up at the foot of the aisle to sell ice cream. People were congregating, chatting right in front of us, so when others walked by they had to cut right in front of my long-legged husband who was sitting on the aisle in A28. After several instances of crunched toes, he just got up to stand at the stage, way out of the way until “ice cream-boy” was done selling. If I had know now what I knew, I would have tried to get seats a tiny bit further back." Another agrees, "Row A: I love front row in the stalls at productions like 'Les Mis' and 'Phantom,' but here the stage is way, may higher so you miss a lot of the bottom part of the set and cannot see Killer Queen when SPOILER ALERT she is raised up over the audience SPOILER ENDS - at least not without straining your neck badly! I would recommend sitting at least several rows back if you choose the stalls. Overall, I am glad to have seen it but wouldn't choose to do so ever again."   and another adds, "A18 and 19: Although these seats are the most spacious I have had the pleasure of sitting in at a west end show, at times these seats are just too close to the stage! As the stage rises and spins over the audience, these seats are directly beneath and all that can be seen is the black underside of the stage. Also, as the action takes places way from the front of the stage you do miss some of the action. However at a show such as 'We Will Rock You,' these seats allow you to make the most of the atmosphere, whilst at times feeling like you practically sat at the edge of the stage."   Reader Daniel, a row behind, agrees, "B, seats 16 to 19. The stage was slightly above head height but it didn’t matter at all. As these seats were central we could see everything clearly, whether at the front or the back of the stage, and didn’t have to strain our necks in any way at all. Whilst obviously not as good as seats a few rows further back they were still really good, comfortable seats. The advantage of being so close was you could really see the actors particularly well as you’re so close to them (the band is in the wings so the front of the stage is right in front of you). It was enjoyable to see all their facial expressions. And you almost feel part of the show at the board table rotates above your head." another says, "We sat in row D seats 12 and 13. Leg room great, view great."   Reader Mandi adds, "We had E12-17 in the stalls which were fantastic although the band was noisier than when we were in the dress circle! Fantastic for me but my mother in law was a bit shocked at first!" Another reader feels, "Row O seat 25, an aisle seat, should be in green - you can see and hear everything." Reader Teresa Gustafsson says, Got full price tickets (£60) for £30 at TKTS -  Q11 and 12. We had a perfect clear view of the stage, although at a slight angle, and we sat close enough to see the actor’s faces! The music was really too loud though and sometimes you couldn’t even hear what they were singing." To the side, reader Kirsty says, "I was in J41, which according to your plan is in red, but I really liked the seat. Sure I was at the side, but I could still see everything that happened onstage and if I was offered this seat again I would take it. I could see all the actors expressions clearly, but the only thing I may have missed out on was seeing the very left hand side of the stage where nothing really happens anyway, LOL." Reader Ali says, "We had stalls, row R 33-35. Legroom was possibly the best of any theatre I've been to so far, and the seats were wide enough for any 'fat bottomed girl' (like me!)." Rows V to Z at top price is fairly greedy, considering the distance from the stage. Only the clear sightlines and good legroom allow the monkey to rate all but the ends of these rows as "average" value  Current pricing makes rows Y and Z centre overpriced at all shows feels the monkey. The last rows - VV to ZZ feel far from the stage. Keen pricing makes rows VV and WW good value at all performances except Saturday Evenings and peak performances (when they become about average) in monkey opinion - and reader Tim Holloway concurs. The central blocks of these rows are a comparable choice with the rear Dress Circle, if they are available, feels the monkey. Reader Cristopher H also agrees, "row VV seats 15 and 16. The view was fabulous." Reader and musical theatre seating connoisseur William Cooper, notes that,  "I sat in stalls Row WW. The height of the circle above and the rake of the stalls gave a clear, if distant, view. This meant that, although these seats were bottom price, they were at least comparable to second-price rear stalls at other popular musicals. That said the bottom price of £27.50 (now £32.50 / £39.50) is fairly similar to second price for other big shows." Reader Kevin says, "We sat in seats 49 and 50 in row YY. I was a little apprehensive before going as these particular seats are given a red rating on theatre monkey. They are situated at the rear of the stalls on the left hand side, however I was pleasantly surprised at our position and the good views of the stage. There was no restriction of our view. If you are looking for a cheaper ticket price, still with good views and comfort, then these seats are the ones." Fair comment, felt the monkey. The "red" rating just refers to "third pick at the price" just to clarify things. The rest of rows VV to ZZ at third price offer just about fair value (except at the ends of the rows and near the sound desks). In the central block, it is worth avoiding row XX seats 26 to 38. These are in front of the technical desk, and so will suffer noise and distraction! In the side blocks it is worth particularly avoiding the ends of rows A to S, A seats 1 to 10 and A 31 to 34, B 31 to 34, C 31 to 35, D 34 to 38, E 34 to 39, F 34 to 39, G and H 37 to 43, J and K 39 to 46, L 39 to 47, and M to S 41 to 50. These are the ends of the row and the viewing angle is often disrupted by bits of scenery during many productions; anyhow, why should you pay the same as those more centrally seated, argues the monkey. Past row T the distance from the stage compensates for the angle and the view is usually clear, though the closer to the centre aisle, the better - and why settle for a side view when one can pay the same money for centre block tickets? From row V back, pricing from October 2005 makes the first four seats adjacent to the aisle worth considering as average value in monkey opinion - but the closer to the centre aisle the better. Reader Jackie notes, "VV 11 and 12: Got a deal at £23 per ticket in January 2012. Quite a long way from the stage - and the top was not visible because of the overhang from the circle - but I don't think we missed anything. The rake is good and the seat space much better than a lot of other theatres, I'm 5ft 9 and fitted in comfortably. What was even better was rows Y and Z were completely empty so we had an unobscured view of the stage." Manual wheelchair users have three spaces in rows XX, YY and ZZ at the back of the stalls. These do not have the greatest view but are fairly priced. Motorised chair users get put in a seldom used box at Dress Circle level. Transfer to any centre aisle seat is also possible. This is more like equal access in theatremonkey's opinion. See notes. Reader Hannah reports, "We had standing tickets (£15 on the day). They are at the back of the stalls, give an excellent view and plenty of room to rock out if you so desire. Worth it if you are cheap and have good legs." Physically, not aesthetically, the monkey notes. The stage is very high and the orchestra pit, (when in use - not for this production) is wide. This means neck ache for those in row A, plus the odd sensation of feeling like one is sitting on the lip of the Grand Canyon. Not  a reason to avoid, just an interesting feeling this monkey has (similar to the one after too many nuts). Legroom in the stalls is excellent, particularly row A. A larger reader opines, "Very comfy and large seats in the stalls for the larger person."     DRESS CIRCLE  Called the CIRCLE in this theatre. A vast circle split into front and rear blocks by a wide aisle running between rows G and H.  The front block is divided into four, the centre two blocks - rows A to G seats 13 to 38 offer the best views in the house, though row A seats suffer restricted legroom for those over five foot six tall. Safety bars at the ends of the aisles do not affect the view, though pedants might want to sit one seat off the aisle to avoid them, if they feel like it! Since May 2006 the two seats nearest the safety bars have been reduced in price (and A1 taken off sale) to allow for the problem - good response, thinks the monkey. Of the two side blocks, avoiding seats 1 to 4 and 47 to 50 is prudent as the boxes and a set of stage lights interrupt the view. The rest of the seats are fine, and seats here are preferable to seats in the side blocks of the stalls - assuming no centre block seats are available! In row A, a reader says, "Row A seats 34 to 36: I was worried about booking these seats as I had read on the website that there was restricted legroom in this row for people over 5ft 6, and I'm 6ft 2. I booked them anyway because my wife really wanted to sit there. I need not have worried as I had plenty of room, maybe not as much as the other rows up there, but I could still get comfortable without any problems. My wife and daughter however, both 5ft 6ins, had problems seeing the front of the stage and constantly had to lean forward. Fortunately the seats behind them were empty so it didn't cause any problems." A reader says, "Row E seats 31 and 32. I knew in advance these seats would be good based on this website...thanks. The view was excellent. We could see ALL the action and even see the band, a real bonus." Another adds, "E30 and 31: Legroom acceptable for 6ft2. Previously seen the show from the stalls and I think the best seats in the house are probably in the Circle first few rows, in the middle." The rear block betrays this theatre's cinema origins. It is easy to imagine looking at a ten foot tall Julie Andrews on a screen from here (the Dominion ran the movie 'The Sound Of Music' for ages) but a regular height actor on a stage is different. Entry to these blocks is up a gantry like set of stairs from the circle foyer. Naturally, the front block inhabitants get the level access - still, come the revolution… The rear block is split into five segments. Avoid the outermost two, rows L to Q seats 1 to 7 and 40 to 46 unless you really, really need to see a show. It is bad enough being far away from the stage without being stuck in the corner too. For the current production "We Will Rock You", audiences have noted that the extended stage means that for 15 minutes of the show those seated in seats 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 16, 17, 18, 27, 28, 29, 30, 38 and 39 may find the double height safety bars at the front of the block intrudes into the view. If the actors choose to stand too far forwards on the stage by mistake, you will be watching through the bars for a tiny fraction of a moment. Against this, the legroom is excellent. The feeling used to be "don't worry - the seats are fair value, just thought monkey readers might like to know this info". In other words - Don't PANIC!!!!! Your seats are fine and the information is given just "for the record".  Rows H to K seats 1 to 7 and 40 to 46 are last resort at top or second price - though from 31st October 2005 they have become more keenly priced, making rows H to K very fair value, feels the monkey. The very ends of row H also have a metal bar in front. In row K a reader says, "K14: A good view throughout, able to see everything, even when Killer Queen is on her revolving stage platform thingy. Some might think the stage is a little far away but for me it was a reasonable distance. Notably I remember seeing 'Jersey Boys' in the very top circle and found the stage to feel a lot further away than I did in this theatre. Leg room was fine for me and I'm average height."   The rake is very steep from Row L back, making these rows feel a long way from the stage. Taking row L and N seats 8 to 20 and 27 to 39 is about acceptable if the stalls is full.  Row L has a stairwell wall in front of seats 23 and 24. Annoying for viewers in seats either side and in the row behind. Legroom is also affected. A reader says, "We were initially issued tickets for row N on the circle. There was nothing wrong with these seats at all as the circles' seats were reasonably steep so there was not problem with the view no matter where you sat. The theatre was very empty so we were able to move the entire group right to the front row of the circle on the right hand side (as we faces the stage). There was nothing with these seats either but if you sat right on the front row then the edge of the circle may be in your view and may miss some of the action on the front of the stage if you don't lean forward." Row P when sold at bottom price, is comparable to Stalls bottom price seats in rows XX to ZZ as it is closer to the stage. Unfortunately, Row O back is equivalent to the stalls, with added vertigo! Avoid unless related to Sherpas. A reader notes, "Row P of Dress Circle 17,18,19,20. Great Seats!!! Could see everything super clearly and highly recommend." The reader also noted that he managed a discount on these seats using the London Theatre Bookings Ticket agency booth on the edge of Leicester Square. A genuine and good agency outlet, the monkey notes. Another reader, Pip, says, "We were in the Circle row Q seats 29 to 33. Basically, they're almost central! So you have a good view. For a back row you can see everything and anything, even facial expressions. I was shocked! And only £30 (or £28 depending on the day) when we saw it in 2009! They were extremely comfortable, and had acceptable legroom (I only had to stretch my legs once at the end). More expensive than any other show, but totally worth it and for cheapest seats will be pleasantly surprised." On another visit he notes, "Q 20 and 21. For back row, the view is amazing and the sound is VERY loud. Can see every detail and action. Wonderful legroom and extremely comfortable seats. Love it at the back, can get up and dance if people aren't in standing. Cheapest seats, worth it." Legroom is good except row A and where indicated in row L. A larger reader opines, "Circle area the seats seemed slightly smaller than the stalls, but still acceptable." Another remarks, "Row A seats 34 to 36. I'm 6ft 2. I had plenty of room, maybe not as much as the other rows up there, but I could still get comfortable without any problems. My wife and daughter however, both 5ft 6ins, had problems seeing the front of the stage and constantly had to lean forward." Another adds, "Legroom acceptable for 6ft2 in row E."   Dress Circle Boxes Two, one either side of the circle. Poor views with the nearest fifth of the stage not visible. Motorised wheelchair users get stuck with these seats.  Nobody should bother with these unless all seats are taken and you really want to see the show. Wheelchair users should not be compelled to sit here.   Notes Total 2001 seats Air-cooled Auditorium. Not as effective as proper air conditioning, so be prepared for a hot and uncomfortable time in the height of summer, alas. To minimise the effects, seating in the front stalls is normally coolest as heat rises - and is also trapped in the Circle overhang. Just a bit of advice from someone in the theatre industry who has a grasp of physics... Infrared headsets available. Signed performances occasionally. Guide dogs allowed in auditorium or dogsat. Unisex disabled toilet. Go the extra step and make two some time, perhaps? A platform lift from foyer to stalls is available for wheelchairs when it is working, with places at the far ends of rows XX, YY and ZZ. Alternatively, motorised wheelchairs have to use a restricted view box. Poor view and poor treatment of the problem of a larger chair. Lose an extra seat in the stalls instead and it would give them a better view.  www.artslineonline.com has comprehensive details,  also Artsline 020 7388 2227, email artsline@dicon.co.uk. A "venue access guide" from the team who created book "Theatremonkey, A Guide to London's West End," is available to download in PDF format by clicking here.  A reader reports in early 2007, "Elizabeth and Rachel at the Dominion theatre's disabled enquiries were excellent. Despite going with a coach company (as part of a group) they reserved a space for us with no trouble at all, with instructions that on arrival to make ourselves known to front office staff. Many thanks to the Dominion theatre."   Food is ice cream, confectionery, hot dogs, burgers and milkshakes. Four bars. Two each at stalls and circle level. Nine toilets. Stalls 2 gents 2 cubicles each, 3 ladies 2, 3 and 4 cubicles respectively, 1 disabled unisex; Circle 2 gents 2 cubicles each, 2 ladies 4 cubicles each.

EXTRA EVENT

Thursday 26th April 2012

WEST END EUROVISION 2012

West End Eurovision, now in its 5th year, sees 12 West End casts, including such shows as Legally Blonde, Phantom of the Opera, War Horse and Les Misérables, produce fully costumed, choreographed versions of a past Eurovision Song Contest entry. This iconic show was nominated in the top 5 “Theatrical Events of the year 2011” category in the recent BroadwayWorld Awards.

This year TheatreMAD, one of the charity’s producing brands, is proud to see the show transfer to one of the West End’s best loved venues, the Dominion Theatre, home for the last 10 years to the sell-out show, 'We Will Rock You.' Last year saw involvement from celebrities such as Graham Norton, Sheridan Smith, Toby Anstis, Justin Lee Collins and Gaby Roslin to name a few. This year will see yet more celebs turn out in force to support The Make A Difference Trust. Tickets sold out very quickly last year so an early booking is recommended.

Currently celebrating its 21st year The Make A Difference Trust has decided to mark the launch of West End Eurovision, by making £100,000 available in grants to small grass roots, community based charities who are trying to provide urgent and essential services at an extremely difficult economic time. Small charities, (which must show some link to the arts through any one of the charities sub brands: Theatre, Music, Dance, Film or Fashion) will be able to apply for a small cash injection of between £3,000 and £5,000 to help them along.

Steven Inman; the Charity’s Director said “Some people may not think £5,000 is a lot of money to give to an organisation, but in the current climate it can pay for a day centres winter fuel bills, rising transport costs to challenge isolation or extra hardship and welfare supports for those individuals living with chronic ill health and struggling to manage day to day costs. The Trust gives out many other larger grants during the year, but the trustees felt that in addition, in our 21st year, this was a good time to make a small but essential difference to some of the many excellent community charities out there struggling to make their own difference”.

Charities wishing to apply for one of these grants should meet a couple of basic criterion and be able to clearly demonstrate the difference an extra shot in the arm can make to the individuals and communities they support.

For application information, interested charities should write in the first instance to:
