Cannot rate this theatre enough!!!!.
My daughter and I have been to many shows here frozen,beauty and the Beast, Treasure a Island ,christmas show.
All fantastic.
Staff are lovely and friendly.
The shows are brill and the prices are very good value.
It's a shame more people don't know about these shows.
I only found the theatre by complete fluke but so glad I did.

Electric concert by Tenors Unlimited, called the ‘Rat Pack of Opera’. This trio – Paul, Scott and Jem – perform an eclectic array of songs everything from serious opera such as “La Donna E Mobile” and “The Pearl Fishers Duet” to popular songs such as “Volare” and “Moon River”. They demonstrate amazing talent and harmonies as they move from song to song, interspersed with great humour and interaction with the audience. Other songs include Freddie Mercury’s “Granada”, Sting’s “Fragile” and songs written by Tenors Unlimited themselves including “Viva La Vita” and “Senze di Te”. They were joined by two local choirs – The Archway Group and St Andrew’s Prep School, both of which performed their own numbers and supported Tenors Unlimited on several songs. This included “Nessun Dorma” which was very moving. I’d definitely see these guys again – they are amazing! The Royal Hippodrome was an excellent venue, very friendly welcome, dramatic lighting and excellent sound quality.

Visited for a show on Larry Grayson and I really was not very enamoured with the production. The premises is rather strange, the entrance consisting of one set of doors in the middle of a tatty row of shops. Inside it is obviously run on the shoestring, with most if not all of the staff apparently being volunteers with all the advantages and disadvantages that entails. The auditorium is very Victorian, and reasonably well preserved, the bar fairly small and not really like a theatre bar at all. I'm amazed in a moderate sized town with three theatres it has survived, but deserves credit for doing so.I think for many years it ran budget variety shows catering for coach loads of pensioners. Would I go back ? With the right show probably yes.

My 3 year old thought it was great and has spent a lot of time talking about rapunzel rocks since. We came and watched stick man so knew that the cinema was great for front row seats

I took my daughters and grandchildren to see this show as we had all enjoyed Treasure Island by the same company last year. It didn't disappoint! Great family entertainment. We all laughed so much right from my 4 year old grandson to myself ( good deal older)! The company struck the perfect balance for entertaining us all which isn't easy. A triumph!

We saw Rapunzel Rocks and it was absolutely brilliant. We laughed until we cried, all the children really got involved. Will definitely see wicked productions again.
