Great place, very modern. Went to see Beauty & the Beast, that was absolutely fantastic play. If you get a chance to see it 100% recommend!! The venue is clean and quite large. It was about 50/50 on people wearing masks and not.

Went there to see the Nutcracker last month. The venue was lovely, tickets were checked very quickly, so didn't need to queue for a long time; they required everyone in the audience to wear a face mask during the performance, which was also good 👍🏻

What an amazing evening. Went to see Priscilla the musical. The show is just amazing, fun, upbeat and a real feel good production. The cast are just brilliant, with amazing performances and voices. You could tell the audience so enjoyed themselves, with lots of dancing and clapping. With a massive standing ovation at the end. Was so good to see people enjoying themselves and having fun. Definitely see this show! Really good 👍🏻👏🏻

My first time at Birmingham hippodrome and my experience was amazing . Before you come into the hippodrome staff are on the door checking everyone’s tickets and bags . They managed to get que Down very quickly so don’t worry about having to wait in long ques because they have such a good setup of everything . Once inside u are greeted by staff which are so lovely and helpful , everything is clearly labelled on where to go . I was sitting in the upper circle so went up the stairs to upper circle , I got there around 1.45pm and was seated from 2pm ready for the 2.30 show . Seats are comfortable and spacious and I have a good view of the whole stage . I was sat in upper circle (right ) not bad for £40. The lion king was absolutely AMAZING !! Also u have a 20 min interval which allows you to go toilet and get food . I will definitely be seeing it again Before it ends .

Amazing interior, very well appointed, easy to follow area and seat numbers. Wonderful staff and plenty of them to assist in any way. Fairly prices drinks and ice creams.Parking close by at affordable price, plenty of eateries near by. We saw Lion King at matinee time, the most brilliant show I've ever seen, totally joyous from start to finish. A totally wonderful experience

It's a lovely venue with a great selection of drinks and snacks at the kiosks. The shows have never disappointed. The staff is remarkably friendly too and very helpful. Always a great experience.

What a welcome back to the theatre after so long and always love coming here. It’s been improved vastly since our last visit pre lockdown and what a performance to go see for our first visit back to the Birmingham theatres! Great location for those who want to enjoy the night life after or during the day visiting local restaurants/bars. Look forward to the next visit which will not be too far into the future ❤️

Great venue for musical theatre. Got to see lion king on stage without having to travel all the way down to London. Loved it! They had stage costumes displayed on each floor as well. The upper circle seats are still a great view as it's a smaller theatre. Very clean and staff were smiling.

Brilliant night. Great meal at Santorini Greek restaurant. Fabulous show colour purple at hippodrome, just excellent performances and.music. great theatre experience including proscenium lounge we.had.not used before but will definitely use again. Great seats and service just a brilliant night. Thank you x

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Hippodrome and had an amazing time! My seat was in row E in the circle, which provided a fantastic view of the stage. However, if you have less than perfect eyesight like myself, I would recommend bringing your glasses to ensure you catch every detail. The staff at the Hippodrome were absolutely wonderful! They were friendly, attentive, and made sure that everyone had a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Their dedication to customer service really stood out and added to the overall positive atmosphere of the theater. One small note of caution: if you're on the shorter side, it's best to hope that no one tall sits in front of you. Fortunately, luck was on our side during the show, and we didn't have any obstruction. In fact, no one was seated next to us, so we had the freedom to shift and find the perfect viewing angle without a head in our way. As for the show itself, we had the pleasure of watching Tom Allen, and he was absolutely hilarious! His performance was filled with laughter, wit, and clever observations. My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment and had a great time together. Overall, I highly recommend the Hippodrome as a fantastic venue for entertainment. With its friendly staff, great views (just remember your glasses if needed), and top-notch performances like Tom Allen, it's an experience not to be missed. I can't wait to visit again for another memorable night of laughter and entertainment!

This is a great theatre, seen many shows here and loved it ever time. Always do the dress circle and a aisle seat if possible. At the time of writing this we saw the Lion King last.

Lovely venue, came here for the van Gogh exhibition a couple of years ago, and more recently to see the comedian Russell Howard live. The staff are so pleasant and it's been a great experience both times. I'm looking forward to coming back here in a few months to watch The Lion King.

First time at thr hippodrome! Excellent customer service from start to finish. Went to watch The Nutcracker by Royal Birmingham Ballet. Outstanding performance by all. Have rebooked for next year!

Went to see The Nutcracker. Had a lovely experience and a great evening. We were sat on the LAST row and still had a decent view as shown in the photo.

Brilliant theatre, absolutely beautiful inside. There was a great view from the serving route if the circle. There are loads of toilets and no huge queues. We watched 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', it was brilliant!

Seats could do with some tender loving care as they have had many bottoms sat in them watching many fabulous shows I'm sure! However the interior is beautifully layout and signage is easy to follow.. Polite, Helpful and very Happy staff and plenty of them to assist in anyway. Fairly priced drinks and ice creams. Did feel like we waited forever for the toilets perhaps some extra facilities would be useful... Parking close by at affordable price, plenty of eateries nearby too if you wanted to do dinner and then theatre 🎭.. We saw the Lion King evening performance, it was the most brilliant and mesmerising show I've ever seen, totally joyous from start to finish. Fabulous costumes and music 🎶 was spectacular!!! Will definitely be returning to watch more shows in the future!!!

Went to see The Lion King Fabulous night production is well worth seeing. Shame that not everyone can turn up on time, therefore disrupting the show for others. Staff friendly and helpful.

My partner and I came to see the opening night of The Lion King. I booked seats for us in the Premium Lounge. Which is a godsend. Complimentary snacks and a bottle of champagne. Although, make sure it is Champagne as we were originally given Prosecco. You get your own waitress. And use of a private toilet. There is no queuing. Now, my only complaint about the night was that the intermission was only 18 minutes long. Which is nowhere near enough time to go to the toilet, buy a drink or a snack, or step outside to smoke. If we didn't have VIP, it would have spoiled the magic of going to the theatre. Because we would have been rushed like cattle. We had a fantastic night, and we look forward to our next performance.

Have not been here for a long time, must be easily 50 years so I can’t remember what it was like back then, Staff were really helpful with directions, The Lion King performance was really nice and everyone seemed to be enjoying it. The only negative was a Karen sitting nearby having her own performance of the afternoon, all because a 6 year whispered loud enough for her to hear it, so Karen decided to have a go at her grandmother, lots of other noise didn’t seem to bother her, perhaps don't go to see a what was essentially a performance aimed at children if you are a little sensitive to the normal sounds that children make, Kids will love this show and the kids all had a great time, only other thing is £90 a ticket seems steep but then its not something you will do on a regular basis so its worth it I suppose

I was at the Birmingham Hippodrome for the BBC RADIO WM #Makeadifference awards last Saturday when Birmingham Pride was on and it was a fantastic fabulous day in the Theatre Quarter. The Hippodrome made us feel so welcome and even though my friend Kash The Flash Gill didn't win an award we had a great time. I met BBCWM presenters Nikki Tapper who kindly read out my BBC RADIO 📻 WM poem on her show yesterday and also Grace Smith and Kathryn Stanczyszyn ❤️ A great time was had by all !

Oh wow, what a night. Got In nice and quickly as we had pre booked tickets there was a bag search which I didn't have a problem with and actually quite pleased to see they take our safety seriously, we visited the bar where we were able to pre order drinks for the break which was really useful, saves waiting in a cue, and to my surpriseeeasonably priced given we were a captive audiance, quote offten establisments have been known to capitaliseon that but not so in the Birmingham Hipperholme. Seating was very comfortable with good leg space, and we were lucky to have an amazing view of the stage. During the break, we made our way to the glass tables to collect our pre ordered drinks, which were easy to find. Toilets for the ladies was a bit of an issue with quite a long line, but I guess that's what we have come to expect. The staff were very friendly and very professional throughout our time there. The show, Lion King, was just the best, so so enjoyed it so much.

Just seen "We Will Rock You".. What an amazing show, we have waited a long time to see this but worth the wait. Amazing performances and vocals throughout, would recommend seats 26 and 27 F in the stalls as its the perfect view for front of stage. Definitely would go and see this again...

Having never been to the ballet before, I didn't know what to expect. I was so pleasantly surprised, we went to see The Nutcracker, it was lovely and the dancers were amazing and told the story well through ballet. The orchestra was great too. I would recommend as a must see.

First visit back to the theatre since covid, and it was busy but the show was amazing - went to see Les miserables, set design and costumes really good, and the cast were very good,

Went to see We will rock you musical which was amazing. Theatre is wonderful not changed much over the years so few theatres around anymore was like going back in time beautiful chandeliers plush seats. Overall wonderful.
