This show was excellent myself, my 3 year old daughter & 9 year old son loved it. The only thing I would say is that we were in the dress circle and the sound did not really travel very well, could have been a bit louder & clearer, but overall it didn't spoil show.

Went to see "Annie" last week and thoroughly enjoyed the superbly presented 'community theatre' musical. I loved it and hope to see many more projects from this company. It was extremely good value for money at £15 for adults and £10 for children. Can't moan about that as a good price for quality live entertainment. Yes, the building is old and in need of refurbishment, I quite liked it but appreciate refurbishment is a must to stop it falling into disrepair further. Hopefully, funding for this will be forthcoming very soon as it would be a great shame to see this delightful theatre disappear completely. The Hippodrome staff are, I understand, mostly volunteers and presume they are so because of their love for this theatre. They were courteous, friendly and helpful and all in all a very good experience.

We visited Eastbourne with our 3 children, 6,7 & 8 years to watch Annie at the Hippodrome. We visited the pier first and as the weather was so lovely which was amazing considering end of October we sat at a table and ate fish and chips, we had a lovely walk then went and found the theatre. The theatre looks quite shabby from the outside but once your inside it is ok, it is a lovely small theatre and was a perfect first theatre visit for my son. The staff very very helpful, plenty of booster seats, clean toilets. The show was fantastic my children loved it and I have to say the singing was brilliant. We were very impressed.

Lovely, friendly little theatre with an exciting but relaxing atmosphere. Could do with a little TLC here and there to restore it to its former glory.

I thought the show would be good but it exceeded my expectations. My 11 year old grandaughter was captivated from start to finish as was I. Thoroughly recommend productions shown at this venue.

I brought my 2 children to watch Annie. I thought the theatre was lovely, a old building with character just how s theatre should be. Nice seats with a good view. Booster seat available for my daughter. Good variety of drinks and snacks for sale. Only negative is not enough ladies toilets. Big big queue and not enough time in interval to go to toilet, buy drinks etc before show started again. And parking near the theatre was a nightmare even dropping off and picking up is difficult and dangerous on main road with young children. Overall a good experience.
