A really lovely theatre with a great atmosphere. The staff were incredibly helpful. We saw Beauty and the Beast JR with our two children who loved seeing the cast during the interval when they did the meet and greet.

Beauty and the beast was brilliant. The children got to enjoy the theatre experience at an affordable price for families.

A hidden treasure of a theatre. Amazing happy to help staff even with all the mayhem of children about, the staff were there to make sure the children had booster seats and even a regular rubbish collect, but best of all was the show... The cast were truly amazing and put on a great performance. These young performers were true professionals and are set for greater things so try and see a performance before they move on. At the interval the cast had photos taken with the children all in true character no room for divas in this show.

If your going to a family show be prepared for children's excited chatter throughout.

I booked to see beauty and the beast abit last for me and my friends daughter during half term, I was expecting a basic production, but how wrong was i..... it was brilliant, the cast were fantastic and so professional in all the scenes from singing, dancing and acting, they also came out into the audience during the break to meet the kids which was great. The production was brilliant, the costumes fantastic and to add to that friendly staff and a great theatre and atmosphere, can't recommend highly enough, would of happily paid more.

We have been to several productions at this theatre and it is excellent value for money. The production and the performances have all been top rate and easily equal to shows we have paid more than twice the money to see. I would thoroughly recommend a visit.

I have seen a number of shows at the Hippodrome in the last year. However, the recent production of Beauty and the Beast was absolutely wonderful. It was a thoroughly polished production and my granddaughter and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Tickets were very reasonably priced and I would certainly book for future shows. it is so important to keep this theatre as a community amenity. Well done to all the cast and volunteers!

Amazing old theatre great atmo and the show was fantastic but the theatre smelt really bad when you walked in 😯 I know it's a very old building but it smelt musky and stale. Maybe carpets and seats need cleaning and some air fresheners .. The children moaned about it the whole time!

My 3 year old and 1 year old daughter and I came to see Beauty and the Beast which was lovely but I must say the theatre staff was fantastic. Very helpful, very friendly, always smiling. It was our first visit to RHT but we will be back.

The performance was fantastic, however I had restricted views and wasn't informed of this when I booked.

The Royal Hippodrome Theatre is a beautiful if run down theatre that desperately requires investment to return it to its former glory. it caters for both the holiday trade and the local community and as well as visiting a show you can take a fascinating tour of the premises, they even showed us the trap doors used by Harry Houdini! As a local resident i dearly hope that the money is found to repair this theatre.
