Still cant believe we had the chance to see this amazing show in a small theatre in Eastbourne.I notice that it is now being played at some much larger venues in the UK if you get a chance to see it grap it with both hands!!!!

A warm welcome from the volunteers and an entertaining performance. This is how theatre should be. Step back in time.

Excellent venue. Super sound system. Intimate surroundings made for a wonderful show. Belinda Davids truly was "Whitney Houston" and the musicians, dancers and back up singers combined beautifully. The quality of artists for other shows is also first rate. We will most certainly visit again and often.

Choose seats carefully to avoid restricted views. Great atmosphere inside and very helpful staff. Needs better control of audience in musicals - standing/dancing MUST be stopped!

This theater is a real treat. The leg room is extensive and the seats very comfortable. The staff were attentive and nothing was too much trouble to ensure my comfort was paramount as I have slight mobility issues. All during the performance they checked that all was well. As the theater is quite small the view of the stage is brilliant. I would agree with others though the parking is an absolute nightmare and you have to be there a good hour before to try and find something suitable.

Went to see 'Spooky Mens Chorale' this evening at the Royal Hippodrome Theatre. What a pleasant venue, with a very intimate auditorium. Sat in the stalls, which gave an excellent view of the stage, so we were able to enjoy the whole show. The theatre is immaculate, seating is comfortable with plenty of leg room & the facilities were excellent. The staff were both pleasant & courteous, a real credit and we cant wait to return in the very near future. Thank you for a pleasureable evening.

We visited with our toddler to see pat a cake baby which was a great show. Staff really friendly and welcoming. Amazing venue. Good sound and facilities. A bit short on leg room, but I'm tall. Places like this need our support, great asset to Eastbourne

We love this little place, we go as often as we can, unfortunately there is never a great deal of interesting things to enjoy at the moment.

This years Summer Show at this 134year old theatre was just wonderful. The Royal Hippodrome,Is a truly lovely old theatre. The volunteers,who greet you are so happy and helpful. This years Summer Show is called A Right Royal Variety Show. Full of fun and plenty of laughter.
Would recommend it to anyone. It's a must see,if you are visiting Eastbourne.
Only on twice a week, every Tuesday and Wednesday,until beginning of October.
Prices are good,and the bar's are very reasonable to.

Fantastic show. The host, Grant Martins, is very funny and keeps the show flowing brilliantly. There are plenty of well know songs, comedy and fabulous dancing with fantastic costumes. The Play That Went Wrong sketch is hilarious. Definitely with seeing 😀

The Royal Hippodrome is a delightful theatre with a wonderful history. Much of the original architecture has been restored and there is always a great assortment of entertainment throughout the year. They have a dedicated website and because productions are varied there is something for everyone, from children's shows to pop concerts, musicals, comedy one nighters and Christmas shows. If you are visiting Eastbourne make sure you check out The Royal Hippodrome.

An excellent rendition of this very silly story.
The players seemed to find it as enjoyable as the audience.

I have seen a few local shows here! It is a pretty little theatre in a not so ideal location.. but done nice little shoes are put on & an enthusiastic " friends " society that try to keep the theatre boyant . Would be sad to see it close after do many years if it did have to , it's a part of the charm of Eastbourne

Wonderful show, very attentive staff. Theatre needs an upgrade, but plenty of leg room, programmes really cheap, as were the ice creams.
