Theatre History

The History of The Dominion Theatre

The theatre opened in 1929 with an American musical based on golf named Follow Through. Built on a site that was once a leper colony and then a brewery, in 1931 the Dominion Theatre was converted into a cinema as a result of the demand for films during the 1930s depression years. The Dominion later screened classics such as South Pacific (which ran for four years) and in 1965 The Sound Of Music, which had an eight-year run.

The theatre narrowly escaped demolition around 1990 but was fortunately saved, restored and reopened maintaining much of its original charm. The Dominion theatre recently returned to live entertainment and has been featuring blockbuster musicals, like Grease, Beauty and the Beast and Notre Dame de Paris.
