14th April 2023 -The Dome Doncaster We were so excited 5 ladies one was a bride to be, her last harrah at looking at the opposite gender with rose tinted specs From start to finish it all went down hill, the lady who were supposed to be showing us our seats tried to put us in the wrong area. We were in the upper tier from the stage not that far away tbh walkable as my daughter found out to be told to go back to her seat, even when others were allowed to be up dancing. All she wanted was to be chosen like the other ladies were, it was like your in the poor seats you shouldnt be seen. When the dancers came on one of them asked who had a birthday or if there were brides to be, he ignored all the brides and settled with the birthdays only, how was that fair?! The dancing was out of sync for an experience dance troupe they were always out of sequence it was boring, no sustinance. We were told that they were going to have a 20 minute break that came and went more like 30 to 40 minutes myself and the other ladies were getting very angry at this and quite rightly so, no apologies given. So this question is to the organisers The Dome, when you took my booking over the phone why didnt you mention the wrist band? Once again totally let down. One last point, you go onto the Dreamboys webpage and they dont have a contact us page, hence the reason your getting this complaint from here.

We were booked for a hen party at dream boys in London. On arrival we were advised that we did not have a booking - we gave multiple pieces of evidence of our booking while trying not to make a fuss infront of the bride to be. We were told no, that our booking was for last week and that the show was fully booked. Again we showed evidence that it was booked for today alongside our other activities that we had been too in the day that was booked alongside dream boys. Eventually after the bride went into full meltdown and 16 hens not impressed we were told we could go in and to take a complimentary drink. When inside we had to be split up into groups and the view that we were given was awful - pillars in the way, couldn’t see the stage. There was room within the venue that we could see available seats but we were told we were not able to move. The bride was given no interaction from the boys, even though it states on the website under hen parties on what to expect and gifts and free entry to a club due to a stamp. One of then hens did not get a stamp and was refused to have one when she realised and ask during the show. We left after 30 minutes - the free entry of the club due to the stamp was not valid and still had to pay entry! We made a complaint through the booking system and was told that dream boys had not been helpful - due to us entering the show we were not valid for a refund. This whole situation is unacceptable and disgusting - from where the hen party was treated from the begging to end.

Horrific evening. We got to the dreamboys venue, and there was a drag Queen opening the show, and this went on for way too long. It became obvious she was chatting rubbish because something was wrong. The venue manager came on and said I’m sorry we don’t know what is happening, there is only one dreamboy here at the moment. No explanation. He said the guy that is here is coming on now. They played his opening song 5 times, and he didn’t come on. We decided to leave after nearly 2 hours of wasted time. The guy at the venue apologised and said he’s been on the line to the dream boys manager for 2 hours and nobody is replying. As we were leaving a couple of girls outside said they saw the dream boy that was there that was supposed to go on, and she saw him leg it out the venue. I have been asking for a refund and reimbursement, however nobody is answering my calls, nor replying to my emails. I’m extremely frustrated and would not recommend this company at all. Awful management and organisation.

Shwe Voller from the dream boys Bournemouth took £50 deposit off of my friend and never turned up. Became threatening when she asked for her deposit back and she never got it back. No way to treat women.

Just returned home from seeing the Dream boys and we all left feeling very disappointed. The show was very boring and repetitive and we thought the guys were going to be hot and hunky, but unfortunately they were far from it. The show was very camp in places and completely lacked any sex appeal. We've been looking forward to this night for ages as we're all nurses, but we certainly won't be wasting our money again.

Awful experience from start to finish, rude staff, terrible show which lasted all of 30 minutes and certainly not worth the £40 a ticket. We contacted Dreamboys office to air our disappointment and was faced with a we do not care attitude. It ruined our friends hen night and now we’ve got to try and make it up to her somehow. Avoid at all costs!

Don’t waste your money on this company. From start to finish was a nightmare. We booked a large group for the hens party, seating is much of a joke, cram as many in on small seats. We where placed at the back and unable to see much of the show. The show wasn’t very long with delays. Getting drinks was impossible and very expensive. Hen was in tears and ruined the night for her. Tried for refund no one ever calls back Disgrace of a company

If your a HEN party AVOID AVOID AVOID! We booked the Dream Boys event at PRYSM at Bristol for a laugh and the show completely ruined our night. The men are aggressive not sexy. The first guy picked a woman, bent her onto all fours and put his head up her skirt. That’s not a lap dance, it’s humiliating. The 7 groups of hens around recoiled after that. I tried to film the next guy who was squirting a whole tube of mayonnaise (again, not funny) over another poor hen so I could put it with my review and the bouncer made me delete the video because the dancers quote unquote, “take things too far”. Some of our party have been to Dreamboy events before for hens and said it’s nothing like what we just watched. Its NOT a laugh, it’s NOT just a cheeky lap dance it’s a bunch of seriously unattractive short men aggressively degrading women. Sort it out.

We booked in to see the DreamBoys show in Nottingham on Saturday 14th April for a hen party. Booking process was simple, everything okay and we were booked in for the show plus a Buffet. Then DreamBoys emailed later to say that there had been a miscommunication and the buffet was not included for the Nottingham, which was a little bit of a let down (because the price was the same as the other shows that had food included) but not a massive issue. All reasonably okay up to that point. However, DreamBoys then emailed last minute to say that the show had been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances and we needed to email them to confirm what date we would like to be switched to. Since this was for a hen party, this was a disaster. We had already organised for everyone to book in annual leave from work if needed, booked a hotel, put deposits down for other activities in the area. There was no way we were going to be able to switch the dates (and even if we had, we'd have ended up losing a lot of money). Understandably, I think, I was quite upset as this was the one thing the hen had explicitly asked for and we felt like we were letting her down. I therefore emailed requesting a further explanation as to why the show was cancelled and that we were unable to switch to another date. The booking agent completely ignored my request for further information, trying again to move my booking onto another date (for the following week) despite me explaining there was no way we could switch. As such I went back to them stating we would need a refund as we couldn't switch dates and asking again for a more detailed explanation of the reason for cancellation. It was at that point where the company became inexcusable in my eyes. I do understand that sometimes things happen, I just wanted to know why so that we could fully explain to our friend why we hadn't managed to get everything perfect. However the abysmal booking agent told us simply that the company did not have to give us, that we agreed to them cancelling last minute in the terms and conditions and they did not owe us any explanation. They also told me not to call them. I could not believe how incredibly rude they were and how unbelievably cold the response was. Needless to say I would warn everyone from even considering using DreamBoys - and would wholeheartedly recommend using any other show in the country except this horrific outfit.

Booked into Edinburgh for a hen do for 3/3/18 but unable to fly into Edinburgh airport due to horrendous snow conditions. Airline, restaurants, accomodation and other events booked all gave refunds. Even though most had a no refund policy they understood that exceptional conditions require an exceptional response. Contacted Dreamboys to see if we could transfer to the London show, not allowed even though spaces were available. Refund? Not a chance. Credit against future booking, just laughed at. They had the money and were keeping it. Whilst I understand that an upfront payment and no refund policy is probably needed to keep no-shows and time wasters away it was clearly events beyond our control that kept us from enjoying a long weekend of fun planned over 4 months in advance. I leave it for you to judge if you consider the keeping of all monies involved in such a situation is right. I am clearly think it unreasonable, a view seemingly shared by every other organisation I booked with. I hope I will be able to amend this review to a more positive one once Dreamboys have had time to review the moral rather than legal aspects.

In short: don’t bother - absolutely not worth the hassle, especially
poor management and organisation.
In detail: went to the London show on Sat Dec 2nd, 2017 and as per
instructions on email/groupon ticket and website we’re directed to City
Road. It was a building site. A sign on the door said they had moved to
Bloomsbury. We quickly go there (30mins away!) to find they’re not there
either. Head to a 3rd location (Tiger Tiger) another 20 mins away and
told we couldn’t enter show as they decided to cancel all Groupon
tickets. They even said that everyone should have received cancellation
emails and refunds.
Have since contacted Groupon and they are now
investigating but said they were not contacted.
Frankly this seems an incredibly amateur setup. If you don’t mind
wasting time and money then buy a ticket. Otherwise, I’d suggest having a
great time at one of the alternative groups! "

Completely ruined my hen weekend. After being told to be there by 6.30 prompt, we were kept waiting outside for over half an hour. 2 course meal was a paper plate of Iceland chicken gougons and wedges, and a dry slice of chocolate cake which you had to queue for ages and take back to your seat and eat on your lap. No tables. Row upon row of folding chairs, some of which were behind pillars with no view of the 'stage' at all. Free cocktail was a watered down mess that you couldn't drink - no choice of cocktail or the mixer they put in it. The DreamBoys are good looking lads, but they can't dance, they were all out of time and if you're expecting a Chippendales experience you will be extremely disappointed. The security men were rude and intimidating. The club afterwards was in the same room and you had to stand around while they removed all the chairs - felt like a school disco! We left in disgust, feeling cheated by the whole experience.

There were no tables for anyone to sit at - everyone was just seated in rows and rows of chairs around the room! There was no celebrity male singer, just an unknown male trio! We had to queue like animals for our food, which was served on small paper plates, the hot food barely warm, which we then had to balance on our laps to eat! The bottles of drink (beer/cider) weren't even the full size, and were at ridiculously high prices. We were given strict instructions to arrive at the venue by 6.30pm, but was almost 2 hours before any form of entertainment began (other than background music)! The club itself was very shabby and didn't even have a proper stage - it was little more than a small make-shift platform! I expected the Dreamboys to be something similar to the Chippendales, except going the full monty, but they were nothing like them. They appeared very unprofessional, couldn't dance in-sync, and were rather laughable in fact. All in all a thoroughly disappointing evening!

I found this review not helpful because... it doesn't represent the Product/Show truefuly in anyway, shape or form. The Dreamboys Show In London has 500 Girls at the Show every Saturday Night and in the 4 years the Show has been running this person is the ONLY bad report we have ever had. The statements this person makes we feel are completely false and untrue. Yes the doors do open at 6pm and the Show starts at 8pm till 10pm BUT upon booking your Tickets you were told EXACTLY what time the doors open and EXACTLY what time the Show starts. These times are infact written on our Website so if you were not happy with the timings of the Show that you knew about upon booking your Tickets, then why book your Tickets in the first place???
<br/>
<br/>The reason the doors open at 6pm and the Show starts at 8pm is simple, every guest at The Dreamboys London West End Show gets a FREE Buffet Dinner with there Ticket they book. With 500 guests at the Show each and every Saturday Night we have between the hours of 6pm and 8pm to feed 500 guests and get the food cleared away in time for the Show to start at 8pm. That's an hour and a half to feed 500 guests and clear away all the food so nobody is eating while the Show is about to start as we don't want Girls to miss the start of the Show or any part of the Show for that matter.
<br/>
<br/>If you had a genuine Complaint about the Show then we are always here to rectify any problem you may have. Like we said in the previous message we serve 500 Girls every Saturday Night at The Dreamboys Show on Leicester Square In London each and every week which we have done for the past 4 Years and not ONE Complaint has been made. So we think this says a lot for the extremely high quality of the Show, the professionalism of our staff at the Show and for The Dreamboys Brand as a top quality, fun Girls Night Out that 500 Customers enjoy week after week with us.
<br/>
<br/>We are not sure what Show you were watching but it certainly doesn't sound like the Show The Dreamboys were performing hence why we never get any bad reviews about our Show, The Venue where our Show is or the content of the Show.
<br/>
<br/>Some of the biggest and most trusted Companies/Brands in the World recieve hundreds of Complaints about there Products/Services each and every day, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year yet you would still trust these Brands as your main Supermarket Supplier, Retail Store, Telephone Supplier etc. To recieve 1 bad Review/Complaint in the 4 years The Dreamboys London West End Show has been running must surely put us as one of the top Brands/Companies in the World with a Customer satisfaction ratio of 99.9% positive???
<br/>
<br/>How many trading Companies do you know only recieve ONE Complaint in 4 years??? The answer is simple NONE!!! So once again this goes to Show just how much of a Top, highly professional and trusted Brand The Dreamboys Show is. With many many years and Thousands of already happy and satisfied Customers, The Dreamboys Show will continue to uphold there high professional quality and highly trusted Brand Name and Continue to offer Girls the best Girls Night Out of there lives. Because after all "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"
<br/>
<br/>Kindest Regards And Best Wishes
<br/>
