Royal Hippodrome Theatre
Latest Reviews
We visited the Hippodrome theatre to watch a 'Totally Theatre' show.
The show was very good but the theatre itself made the experience. From the friendly greeting at the door to the volunteer ushers we were made to feel welcome. The sightlines are generally good and the Victorian theatre small enough you can clearly see musicians on the stage from both stalls and the circle.
Although it is a little frayed around the edges the theatre is clean and comfortable and I would not hesitate to book another show here.

Watching from the Dress Circle I was prepared to believe that I was watching a young Tina Turner.
A high standard of musicianship, enthusiastic dancers, costume changes, lights and projected images made for a fine, entertaining show. Justine Riddoch charmed the audience and made the best of Turner's most popular songs

The theatre has seating that is far enough apart so that you are not sitting with your knees in your mouth, I am 6ft 3in and I could sit comfortably also it is not to hot or cold as some theatres are, the sound system is great and the staff are very friendly and try and help as much as they can, definitely somewhere for the whole family.

Enjoyed the circus of horrors in beautiful historic surroundings. A little tired looking but this takes nothing away from the enjoyment. Support local theatres, so further generations can soak up the atmosphere .

Classic Victorian theatre
Small and intimate auditorium
Circus of Horrors presentation was fantastic, if different!

Brilliant show of the Circus of Horrors and the old theatre only added to the atmosphere.
If you want to get a taste for this theatre go on the ghost walk!

Lovely venue for our class. Theatre was grand enough to feel special but not big enough to overwhelm.

This is a lovely independant theatre. The shows are quirky, independent and worth supporting. Parking is a problem due to the Theatres location so allow extra time if driving

Took my daughter to see a show here after Xmas. ( The first Hippo on the Moon)
The theatre is very old looking inside and out it really needs to come out of the dark ages.
The staff was lovely but the show was poor lots of cardboard cutouts the acting very amateur the props very dated only about 50 people there. I wonder why? Defo would not rushing back there. I did not feel the nearly £50 for the tickets was money well spent. That's my opinion others may differ.

Everything about this Show was faultless . For a 3-year old grandchild it was absorbing and ' Walliams ' humour was appreciated by the grandparents ! Very good voices from a very hard-working cast .
