  • MPT Rocked by the Dominion Theatre London raising a whopping £35,550 for the MPT in 2010
    When the Dominion theatre adopted the MPT as their official charity back in April 2010 we were very pleased to have the support of the Nederlander We Will Rock You team, here David Pearson, Manager, tells us how they managed to raise a massive £35,550 for the charity

    In April 2010, the Dominion Team felt that with their very strong links with Queen and the legacy of Freddie, it was fitting that they dedicated 100% of their charity efforts to the Mercury Phoenix Trust. With We Will Rock You still going strong we hope to be able to continue to assist in the years to come.

    The vast majority of collections are via bucket collections at the exits on weekend performances. Brian May very kindly recorded a message to be played in the auditorium following the show and this message has an amazing effect on the amount that we collect. Occasionally we will ask our Galileo to announce a collection from the stage. In addition to the bucket collections the theatre staff has fun raising money by involving themselves in anything from bake sales to guess the weight of the 3 babies that were born last year!

    This year we have more ideas from charity quiz nights to a sponsored parachute jump, for which I believe I volunteered myself for in a moment of madness! Of course we all look forward to raising more money through our normal collections, with a bit of fun along the way!

    Best Wishes for all your fundraising activities, for such a worthy cause that all of us at the Dominion are proud to be associated with.

    Kind Regards,

    David
