The dwelling was originally constructed in 1928 and converted to cinema use in the 1930's. In the mid 1980s the Dominion hosted the musical Time, which required gutting and reconstructing the theatre to allow for the show's groundbreaking effects. Since the early 1990s the venue has played host to some unique version of Jesus Christ Superstar, David Ian and Paul Nicholas' new production of Grease, Scrooge: The Musical, Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, a return of Grease, and Notre Dame de Paris among others. Bernadette The Musical, written by Maureen and Gwyn Hughes, also enjoyed a short run in 1990. In 2002, the hit stage musical We Will Rock You, based on the songs of Queen, created by Queen guitarist Brian May and British comedian Ben Elton opened. The show was due to close in October 2006 before travelling on a UK tour, but thanks to popular demand from customers has been extended indefinitely.
