What Visitors Say
Went to see The Devil wears Prada for the first time. It was lovely. Staff were great, very attentive. Didn't take long after we got into the que. It moved very quickly with bag checks and scanning tickets. Then right into the venue. Very smooth service during the intervals, drinks were reasonably priced and good variety, toilets were nice and clean. I will definitely be back for another show!
Went for Devil wears Prada- which was absolutely amazingggg- 2.5 hours long with one interval. The theatre is huge, with an open welcome plan- 2-3 small kiosks for drinks/basic snacks. The staff were kind- even to those who were taking a video of the performance. Good visit.
Beautiful theatre. Seats are comfortable and somewhat spacious, definitely better than Ryanair aeroplane seats. The decoration is nice and classic. There aren’t many columns so basically all seats have good views. We watched the Devil wears Prada here. The storyline is pretty the same as the movie. The security checks move quite quickly. I’ll suggest to arrive 20-30 mins before the show time so you can relax, get a drink, use the loo and catch up with your friends before it starts.
From entering the theatre we were warmly welcomed. Walked round to the step free access Box for our seats, the hostess was fabulous. She looked after us with drinks and snacks, from start to interval to us leaving. Comfortable seating, great view and amazing show, The Devil wears Prada. Lovely afternoon at the theatre. ☆☆☆☆☆
We saw the matinee of The Devil Wears Prada musical. What a show! Glamorous, funny, high energy, great songs. Very much a feelgood production. The theatre was welcoming, well maintained and the stalls seats were spacious with plenty of legroom. Merchandise shop was well staffed so a short wait. Multiple bars and staff redirected us if there was a queue. Beautiful theatre and a great production!

Things to Know Before You Go
Which seats are worth prioritising at Dominion Theatre?
Stalls for immersion in large-scale staging and sound; Circle front-centre for an elevated panoramic view of choreography; aisle seats are popular for comfort. For a safer booking, also note: Avoid the back rows of the Circle where the distance softens detail, and far-side seats on both levels where sightlines to entrances and scenic effects may be restricted.
