Fodor's Expert Review Brighton Dome

West of the Royal Pavilion, the Brighton Dome was converted from the Prince Regent's stables in the 1930s. It includes a theater and a concert hall that stages classical and pop concerts, plays, and stand-up comedy. Around Christmas, the Royal Pavilion also hosts annual pantomimes, traditional British children's plays featuring songs, dance, and jokes (including some stealthy adult jokes for the parents). Pantomimes are usually helmed by a mix of talented stage pros and low-rent TV stars.
