Beautiful venue however the sound system needs reviewing. This is my second show where it's hard to hear the actors voices at points (I was sitting in the royal circle). Needs to be clearer.
Always my complaint when I go to the theatre is the sound ! Not this time well done Mr or Mrs Sounnd engineer. Absolutely bloody fantastic. Great cast for Bat out of Hell the musical probably equal to when we saw it in London 2017. Vocally excellent , thank you Bristol Hippodrome we will definitely come back. Worth the trip from South Wales.
I absolutely love Bristol hippodrome. Beautiful venue, helpful staff and so brilliant being able to see West End shows. Went yesterday to see Moulin Rouge. Good bits about this show: the set was phenomenal, gorgeous sumptuous costumes,loved the elephant and the windmill. Cast vibrant,leads good. Not so good bits about this show: if you're expecting,as I did,to hear the same music from the film, then be prepared for disappointment. The songs from the film are iconic to the film and I had thought they'd keep them all. However,Lady Gaga and Katy Perry songs just didn't do it for me or my husband. We are huge fans of the film and so looked forward to this. Quite honestly,the new songs just jarred. Roxanne was the highlight for me and in the original film but too many mash ups of other songs just left me feeling disappointed. If you haven't seen the film,this is a fabulous show,if you are going as a film fan of Moulin Rouge be prepared to see it is not the same. Having said that,we are really lucky to have such a fantastic venue on our doorstep and I will continue to support it.
Staff here are always fabulous. I love the theatre, it's beautiful. There is an access door to the side of the building and staff there are super helpful. There's a wheelchair lift for the stalls with bookable access seats through ATG. There is also a disabled toilet, but the queue for it takes a long time. Always have a fabulous time here and have never had any problems visiting
My very first theatre show and I was completely blown away. From the moment I stepped inside, the atmosphere was magical. The building itself is stunning, with a charming historic feel and a grand interior that sets the perfect stage for a night of theatre. Moulin Rouge was everything I hoped it would be vibrant, emotional, and full of energy. The lighting, costumes, and set design were next-level, and the cast gave an unforgettable performance. As a first time theatre-goer, this experience has set the bar incredibly high. If you’ve never been, I highly recommend catching a show at the Hippodrome. It’s an experience you won’t forget.
It was my first visit to the Hippodrome in about 10 years. This venue is simply stunning. We had seats in Row A of the stalls, and the seats were very comfortable with plenty of legroom. There was a disturbance about an hour into the show, but the staff dealt with it very quickly and professionally, and I think the majority of people didn't even notice. Again, I was disappointed that the box office was unable to provide a print of my tickets, but it didn't ruin my fantastic experience.
The Bristol Hippodrome is a historic Frank Matcham designed theatre. It is the largest theatre in the South West getting all the large touring shows particularly musicals. It's architectural features are shared with the London Coliseum. The stage is wide and excellent for ballet. The seating can be slightly uncomfortable as the seats are thinly padded. The toilet facilities are antiquated and barely adequate for the size of theatre. Ladies and gentlemen expect queues for the facilities. The sight lines are mostly good due to the lack of pillars. The grand circle is up very high. There are no lifts and are not suitable if you don't like heights or can't climb narrow high steps. Be prepared for you bag to be zealously searched before you go in. You are banned from bringing your own alcohol into the building. Soft drinks and water are allowed. The ushers are young and enthusiastic. Don't get caught trying to take pictures during a show. You will be caught! Bring you own water or soft drinks and chocolates as prices are eye wateringly expensive.
A classic. We've seen a number of shows in the Bristol Hippodrome. It's really nice to have a good theatre close by. The seats are tight but it's been well cared for and always clean. In our experience the best seats on the house are near the front in the upper circle. A little more space and you can see the whole stage.
Amazing! Beautiful theatre, amazing hospitality team that were super helpful. An abundance of boosters for smaller children. Lots of points for drink ordering and snacks, and enough toilets! Overall fantastic venue - would definitely recommend. The photo depicts the view from stall seat L6.
Beautiful theatre. We sat in the stalls (F33/34) and the view was amazing, but looking around it seemed that you would get a great view no matter where you sat. The toilets were easily accessible and clean. The only downside was getting into the venue was like herding sheep. Once you had your bag and ticket checked you were put into a queue depending on where you were sat. We had to stand for some time queuing on the stairs which was uncomfortable as I have mobility issues. Prices for food and drinks were what you come to expect from Theatres; expensive. The show itself was phenomenal and I would definitely recommend a visit to watch it.
