Bit tired - as are most old buildings .
Lovely staff. Easy to get to and surrounded by restaurants if having a meal before a show.

We had a very good experience taking the children to Peter Pan .The ushers were welcoming and chatted to us reassuring me the production would be good as I was a little apprehensive .

This theatre has just been refurbished and it is an old Victorian Music Hall. Very traditional inside with basic seats and fitments but all brand new apart form the toilets which are planned for a revamp. I think it is run by volunteers who do a good job and the prices are reasonable. It is in quite a rowdy area of town which is relevant when you are leaving late at night. I saw Oklahoma which was a classic performance, again with volunteers from dance schools. It was polished with great vocals from the main players although the theatre was only about half full which detracts form the atmosphere. Well worth a visit to view inside.

I just love this theatre. Steeped in history and in the last 3 years has been like a Phoenix rising from the ashes. It is looking beautiful again and the programme of entertainment gets better and better

The Hippodrome is a lovely little theatre full of character and charm. My family love watching the variety of shows they have to offer. So much work has gone into the renovations to restore it to its former glory. The staff are so friendly and welcoming.

The Royal Hippodrome is a hidden gem of a theatre in Seaside. With friendly staff & an army of dedicated volunteers The Victorian Theatre puts on shows which suit all ages & tastes. Under new management the theatre has recently had the box office/ foyer area refurbished aiming to keep the Hippodrome thriving.

The Royal Hippodrome theatre is not only the oldest theatre in town but the friendliest. Since the Hotels Association and more recently Alex and Debbie Adam's took over the venue has improved enormously. It is in the process of ongoing renovations and is now looking plush and inviting. The RHT offers superb professional entertainment for all as well as being a community venue. Well done to all involved.

We were a small group of 4 on a friends night out. Peter Panties met and exceeded our expectations. Laugh a minute, crude and a bit saucy and excellent actors running the show.

The team of 3 leading the show were excellent, truly hilarious and comedians!
