went to watch a Bohemian Rhapsody evening. The music was bad and the singers were not what I would have called listening material. The performers were not what I call value for money. By the interval myself and my friend decided to leave.

We went to see The Bohemians last week (who incidentally were absolutely fabulous) and thank goodness we ignored the reviews about the bad seats, because they were absolutely fine. Maybe the circle seats' leg rooms are smaller than the stalls but we were in the stalls and they were absolutely fine (and my girlfriend's 5'10" and hates pokey seats!). The foyer was in the process of refurbishment, and, yes, was a little tatty, but I assume that will soon be fixed.
Sure, the theatre is showing its age a little, here and there, but if I look that good aged 150, I'll be well chuffed! We had a super night out for the princely sum of £26 each INCLUDING beers before and GnTs in the interval!
A refreshing change from most theatres' rip-off bar prices.
Highly recommended.

First comedy club night at the Hippodrome. Felt lovely and cosy. The Theatre is being lovingly taken care of and can't wait to see it finished.

My daughter and I went to see the Bohemia’s queen tribute band last night. It was the first time I had been to this great little theatre. The show was brilliant and the theatre staff were lovely they made the night even better. Keep the good work going. THANK YOU 🎭

The Royal Hippodrome Theatre is a lovely place to go and watch a show as its got lots of age meaning that it is not a 21st century place it's a Historic place n me and my misses went to watch a show,that was one price if you bookend online then another price when we got there as we couldn't get access to the Internet so we paid the full amount which was £30.00 each instead of £22.00 online,but the staff were very helpful and kept apologising, but by the end of the night it was worth going to see the show.
