Such a beautiful little theatre and run by charity. A real gem for Eastbournes heritage. Its a delight everytime I work here and the staff (mainly volunteers) are so wonderful and kind.

Watched Cinderella today. Was really fantastic. My little girl loved every bit of it. It was really lovely how Cinderella and the prince came out at the end of the show and had there picture taken with the children.

Lovely venue and gorgeous inside. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere. Location is the only thing to let this place down but that can't really be helped.

Classic old school theatre. Lucky to still have such little pockets of history. Very helpful staff who were volunteers. Clean toilets and a reasonable price bar.

Want to the Hippodrome to watch the Wizard of Oz. The theatre needs some tlc on the outside and in the toilets. However, the seats were comfy and there was enough space for leg room for me (I'm 5ft 10) and you're not squashed in. We sat in the stalls in K9 and K10 and had a great view, The theatre is rather small compared to other theatres, which is great because it gives the show an intimate feel.

Although the review should be purely for the theatre, I have to say the show by AP theatre productions was fantastic, the actors were amazing and the show had enough adult humour yet was still appropriate for children. The show was pure feel good fun and was enough to get this middle age cynic's toe tapping. I have to say I really did love the show and thought the theatre itself was a good space.

My only gripe would be there was a French man who sat on our row and was translating the show all the way through to his daughter, did detract as you could hear him talking in the background throughout the show. I feel that staff should have addressed this.

I went to see Oliver at the Royal Hippodrome last week. It was a lovely, vibrant show which I really enjoyed. I was taken aback at how lovely this little theatre is and I will certainly be keeping an eye out for future shows,
