Dominion Theatre, London
Although the theatre initially presented stage musicals, within its first year it was showing 'talkies' interspersed with short seasons of opera and dance as well as variety seasons. During the 1950s and 60s the theatre has presented long runs of musical films including South Pacific and The Sound of Music. The theatre has also been used as a concert venue - Judy Garland, Maurice Chevalier, Sophie Tucker and Shirely Maclaine being just some of the names who have appeared here. More recently Dave Clark's musical Time starring Cliff Richard (in his West End stage debut) and Laurence Olivier (as a hologram!) opened here in 1986. Other productions here have included 'famously' short-lived flop Bernadette, the Broadway hit production Grand Hotel which also flopped. Grease opened here 15 July 1993 and remained until 19 October 1996 when it transferred to the Cambridge Theatre. Other musicals that have been staged here include Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Notre Dame du Paris and Queen's We Will Rock You. |
