Birmingham Hippodrome

Really great theatre. Plenty of toilets, so queues move quickly. Lots of space front of house while waiting to go in. Comfy seating, and leg room not too bad. Had an incredible view from row B of the circle. Very expensive though compared to other non-London theatres.

Ive been going here since I was little (in the 80's!). It is one of the best theatres we have ever been too. Staff ate friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The lobby is nicely laid out and easy to navigate. Ordering and getting pre-theatre and interval drinks is straightforward. I am a wheelchair user so had to make contact in advance of my booking to check various details. Staff were always very helpful accommodating. The only downside I would add, is that in the auditorium the material on the seats in a bit rough (especially on bare legs or tights), and the seats are too tightly packed in, so there isn't any leg room (less than an aeroplane!). So it feels very cramped in. Not enough to put me off, but I really do hope they can do something about it at some point soon.

Not what was planned as should've had a concert in the BP arena. So had to find something else to see. Not a bad little. Drinks bit overpriced. Staff really friendly and helpful. 1st time of visiting the venue. Will definitely be back

We watched The Nutcracker and later the Cinderella ballet here. It is a well maintained, organised venue. The cast was fantastic both times! We were very impressed with the performance and the decor each time. Definitely going back for other shows in the future.

A great experience. Beautiful theatre with comfortable seats. Nice lounge areas. Great bars and not too expensive either. Just saw Mary Poppins and it was amazing. Great sound with a good mix. Michael Xavier as Mr. Banks was the star of the show!!

Great venue for theatrical performances. We have attended many performances here. Delightful staff and great seating. The location is perfect in the heart of Birmingham. There is great, convenient parking and many, many super interesting places to eat. There is a fabulous atmosphere all around the venue.

Practically Perfect in Every Way – A Jolly Holiday at the Birmingham Hippodrome! For my delightful mother-in-law’s 87th birthday, we took a most enchanting outing to the Birmingham Hippodrome to see Mary Poppins – and what a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious evening it was! Parking was no trouble at all, thanks to the conveniently located Palisades car park. I simply dropped my dear wife at the front door, zipped off, and was back quicker than you can say "spit spot!" – well, about ten minutes, but who's counting? The bar area, while most pleasant in décor and atmosphere, was a tad short on perches for the weary. A glass of wine will set you back £10, but as they say, a spoonful of spending helps the evening go down – and one can take their tipple into the theatre, which is rather civilised. Our seats were in the middle circle – and oh, what a view! Thanks to the steepness of the seating, every chimney sweep and kite-flying moment was perfectly visible. It truly made for a marvellous vantage point, though the climb did prove a bit of a challenge for my dear mother-in-law. Those steps are quite the workout, even for someone not yet into their late eighties. As for the performance itself – it was practically perfect in every way! The cast, the music, the staging – all simply superb. Mary flew, Bert danced on the ceiling, and the magic never stopped. A tip-top production that left us all humming on the way home. All in all, the evening was a five-star experience, and a most magical way to celebrate a special birthday. If you’ve the chance to go, don’t delay – snap up a ticket before the wind changes!
