Latest Reviews
My Partner and I had the chance to go and see the easter Panto Robin Hood and his Merry Men by Wicked Productions and we wasn't dissapointed. It was very funny like pantomine's should be.Well done to the Royal Hippodrome Theatre for letting them perform at your Theatre. A very good night out. Please let them come back for another production of there's.

The Panto was top class entertainment. Traditional but with a Up-To-Date feel that was very clever.
The theatre is a lovely building and obviously loved by the people who work there. It felt like I was in the front room of every member of staff's home because they kind of owned the place. My only downside would be the Bar. £4 for a tin of Cider or John Smiths is too steep and not very inviting. The coffee was a sachet of instant with UHT milk carton. Just a thought - maybe buy some local Sussex bottled Craft beers and invest in a filter coffee machine with a jug of milk in the fridge.
That said - the place is a great advertisement of community.

Robin Hood was funny and entertaining. We have also enjoyed other shows. The staff are friendly and helpful. I will certainly continue to support this lovely theatre.

A lovely old theatre. Sat downstairs first two times, then in dress circle last two times. Would recommend not sitting in first row in the dress circle as could not see clearly over barrier, three rows back was ideal. Nice decor for Victorian theatre, with small bar. Ushers all very pleasant and helpful. Limited parking in vicinity so need to allow time to find parking.

We went to see Robin Hood the Pantomine. It was such a good family show. Silly Willy got all the audience pulling silly faces and got us all up dancing at the end. The other cast members were really good too. Lots of good jokes and singing. I hope this theatre gets lots of visitors it is a beautiful old place in need of a lot of tlc, which can only be accomplished by getting good audience numbers

A superb panto-esque show that entertained both adults and kids.
Always a pleasure to attend this marvellous old theatre. Especially pleasing is the fact that a majority of the staff are volunteers and always seems genuinely pleased to be there and to welcome us patrons.
A unique programme of acts, attractions and plays, that ordinarily wouldn't be offered by a run of the mill theatre at prices that afford one the opportunity to make repeated visits.

Went to see Robin Hood Panto (free ticket), well what a laugh we had. From start to finish it was witty, funny and entertaining. The finale dance was amazing. I have seen two other pantomimes 1 at White Rock Hastings and the other at The Congress but this one at The Hippodrome entertained me the most. I would have willing paid to see this one and would have got my moneys worth. Great night.

Last night we went to see Robin Hood the pantomime at the Royal Hippodrome Theatre in Eastbourne. The show was great, and the welcome very warm. Staffed by enthusiastic volunteers, long may this theatre prosper.

Very funny pantomime fun. Enjoyed by adults and children alike. Excellent audience interaction. Using projection as the scenery was very effective.The final 'dance' sequence had all of the audience up on their feet.

We had a really enjoyable evening. Cast was great...not laughed so much in ages. Would recommend highly. Don't miss this gem!

This is such a lovely theatre and should be used 364 days a year. Stunning. Such a shame that parking is a nightmare, some kerb parking with less double yellow lines around this area would certainly improve the situation!!

We enjoyed a great night at the Royal Hippodrome for The Johnny Cash Tribute show and the theatre was almost full.
Special thanks to the lovely lady running the bar on her own she worked very hard and did a great job making us very welcome while serving our drinks.
Will visit this theatre again soon as its a great place for a live show.

Johnny Cash Roadshow tribute show, 13th March, 2015. Brilliant show, great music, fantastic artists. Love coming to this theatre. The staff are so friendly, and the cost is usually much cheaper than the Congress, with just as good shows, and a great variety for all ages. You can choose which seats you want on-line, very easy. Will be visiting again soon.

We really enjoyed the music by the Johnny Cash tribute band. The volunteer staff at the theatre were all very friendly and we enjoyed a drink in the bar in the interval. We will definitely be back.

Had not visited this theatre before, and the exterior is a little off putting, but was really impressed. Absolutely lovely theatre, beautifully kept, and the staff were absolutely charming and so helpful. Saw Joe McElderry, who put on a terrific show. All in all a great night out. Would definitely visit again, highly recommended

This was our second visit to this fabulous theatre, the first being just the week before for the EODS play, which was superbly performed by the cast. The second show was Joe McEderry, which again was fantastic and for both shows, the theatre was a brilliant choice. Intimate and you felt truly as if you were in the heart of the performance. We have lived in Eastbourne for over 4 years and have visited the Congress and Devonshire Park Theatres many times, but have overlooked the Hippodrome, which we feel was a great mistake. There are many events going on in this iconic theatre and we need to keep them supported, to ensure that the future of this venue is assured. It would an absolute tragedy if this was allowed to close and full marks to whoever runs it and the volunteers for keeping it going.

Me and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed watching Aladdin, our best bit was when the characters came out to say hello in the interval and the fantastic magic carpet. The staff were very friendy. We will be visiting again.

Had a really enjoyable time at RHT last Friday. Took my mother and 3 of my grandchildren who also really enjoyed the show. I always love going to this theatre as the atmosphere is always good whatever the show and the staff are very friendly.

We went to an afternoon performance of 'Aladdin Jnr' which was very entertaining. The theatre was very comfortable and very quaint. We will certainly return as we cannot wait to see another first class show.
