The Studio has been open since 2008 when it underwent a £640,000 refurbishment. Originally the Dominion’s Circle Lounge the Studio’s entrance way retains its ornate plasterwork which has been expertly restored, and the main Studio area is sympathetic and modern in style with a solid oak sprung floor and state of the art internally wired lighting and sound system. The Studio is supplied with plenty of power so there is the opportunity to fill the room with fantastical lighting and sound – including live band or DJs. It is fully air conditioned and ventilated with 3 windows at the far end which let in natural light in the daytime.

Fitted along one side with ceiling to floor mirrors for dance rehearsals the Studio also has a curtain which runs around the edge of the room covering the mirrors and/or windows and creating a black out. This makes the space very flexible. To add to this flexibility there are various options for lighting the space. The room is fitted with fluorescent lighting, and also halogen downlighters which are on a user operated dimmer system. 
There are also two centre LED lighting panels in the ceiling which can colour wash the room, or create moving lights for more of a disco feel. We can also have your company logo or a message created into a gobo to shine onto the Studio floor. Of course we can also use the lighting bars themselves which have 48 dimmers and we can light the room to your specifications.

The Dominion Theatre’s main auditorium seats 2,069 on two levels plus 100 standing. The Stalls level alone seats 1276. Built in 1929 the theatre was one of the first to use the advances in building materials to create a pillar-less auditorium – the consequence of this is that every seat in the house has a good clear view of the stage. The auditorium is currently home to We Will Rock You with its rock ‘n’ roll lighting and sound rig, and large video screens. The main auditorium is available for daytime conferences, lectures, press launches and award ceremonies.
The Gallery space is located in the former upper circle of the theatre. A modern space, with its own entrance on to Great Russell Street, it can be used in the daytime completely separately to the theatre and its other spaces. Ideal for conferences, training sessions, meetings and award luncheons. The Gallery also has two smaller break out rooms adjacent to the main room which can be made available on request. The Gallery main room is fitted with air conditioning and 
also has private facilities. It is accessed via a lift from the first floor or staircase to the 4th floor.
