Booking & Theatre Info For Dirty Dancing
Performances of Dirty Dancing will begin at the Dominion Theatre from January 21st, 2023. The theatre features two levels with the premium seating being situated in the centre section of the Stalls. The Dominion Theatre is a large venue with very little restricted view seating and a lot of seats to fill for eight shows per week so there is definitely value to be found by studying the seating plan and taking advantage of the cut off points with the different price bands when looking for cheap Dirty Dancing tickets. Bargain hunters looking for opportunities to book last minute shows in London should possibly focus on the quiet periods in the West End such as the weeks following half term holidays to secure the best bargains.
