Summer show bring back the old style show from yester year. Great building but not the best sound in there

Many people local people have never been to the Hippodrome, now known as the RHT (The Royal Hippodrome Theatre) in Eastbourne but this is a must. It is the oldest theatre in town and is well worth a visit. Shows are well advertised and a very varied. During the summer there is a variety on two nights a week but there are always a great variety of shows on each week.Lits of good music, variety and speciality acts. The staff are friendly, there is a good bar and if you are really interested in the theatre there is a monthly tour.
The only downside is the lack of parking but it is in town so there is street parking.

The staff were very helpful and organised and made everyone feel welcome. We're enjoyed all the songs and features and, of course, the opportunity to see Cilla.
We would certainly consider coming to another evening at the theatre.

The Royal Hippodrome is a lovely theatre which the wife and I love. Small but really nice and comfortable with a great view of the stage. My only bug bare is the parking is ridiculous, multi story closes at nine street parking almost nonexistent we arrived over an hour before the performance and glad we did we parked approx a mile away. Can't fault the theatre though

I had and always have a wonderful experience at this wonderful Theatre. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and cannot do enough to make your evening great. Thank You very much for all your hard work, dedication and drive. You have made such a beautiful Theatre a resounding success. Saw CILLA AND THE SHADES OF THE 60'S on Thursday the 9th of March and enjoyed my evening so very much.

My first visit to this theatre. Initially I was a bit critical and fault finding that was to be truthful undeserved. It did seem on first impression to be maybe a bit amateur in several respects – but then I overheard one of the staff telling a visitor that it was entirely manned by volunteers, I felt more than a little ashamed at my petty critiques. Suddenly I was transported into appreciation of everything. The little bar (which was rather concealed) was run by an obviously amateur but very efficient helpful barman. Beer was good and I never noticed any “sorry, don’t have that sir”, all well stocked and variety. The show, a tribute to John Denver by Wane Denton was as good as any tribute band I have ever seen and better than many. My only complaint at all was that we were held in the foyer for 30 minutes while “I’m afraid we have a lighting issue so must wait until it’s fixed”. Completely untrue as we noticed the band was obviously late as they were outside unloading the equipment! Were they to have said that, and allowed us in, we could have had a beer before the show! A loss of revenue to the theatre and a loss of a pint for me. Anyway, a truly worthwhile evening and are now booking for other shows, only disappointed that I have missed so many others.

Lovely show to take the little ones to - they loved meeting all the characters in the interval and the singing and dancing went down well.

We went to see Chris Dean's SLO yesterday. It was a marvellous show. The musicians were all excellent. The heating system was broken so we were a bit cold but it didn't detract from the performance in any way.

What a lovely show. I took my eight year old grandson and three year old granddaughter and they both enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The actors and costumes were first class and allowing them to have their photographs taken with them made it all the more special for them. Actors came down into the audience during the show too and were very friendly with the children. Only downside was the programme. There wasn't much of interest to the children at all but they wanted one each to take home to show their parents. Will definitely book again if it comes back to Eastbourne.

I've taken the kids to the RHT a few times now and it's always the same: the actors are (not so) happy amateurs - not always very "into" it - and the (sound and technical) production quite poor. The kids however, love watching fun things on stage and, because I go for their sake, it's all OK.

Our first visit with our 2 year old daughter to see Madagascar and it was amazing!
She sat watching it all and was clapping away to the songs.
Loved that the cast came out for photos with the kids.
Will definitely go again xx
