Who doesn't love the Bristol Hippodrome? Just going into the auditorium is magical This time we were here to see La Traviata. Unfortunately, I'm waiting for knee surgery and couldn't bend my knee. The lovely young staff found me somewhere else to sit and brought me a much needed glass of water. I'm also struggling with a chest infection and had to leave the auditorium twice because of coughing. Both times the staff were very attentive. Even coming into the foyer, the doorman searching handbags helped me up the slippery step. Thank you to everybody who helped me. Oh, and the opera was good as well.

A great couple hours learning about the history of the theatre. You get to see the auditorium from the stage and then experience it from every level. You do not get to see the truly hidden areas such as basement or dressing rooms so as long as you know that, it really is a great couple of hours. The guide was great. Lovely style and informative.

We went to see pretty woman 11/11/23 . Was a great show with fab actors and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would say it was slightly let down by the actors mics messing up a couple times so we couldn't hear them and spot lights not actually being in the right place and the actor had to move. Never experienced that before at Bristol hippodrome but was still enjoyable.

Took our grandsons of 5 and 7 to their first Panto expecting a swashbuckling evening for them but although they enjoyed the spectacle and the music I thought the inclusion of the Dame in every scene as some sort of RuPaul drag race was a bit beyond the pale and a bit of a storyline would have been better. Where was the slapstick humour? Poirot revealed at the end as a storyline? (Spoiler there) How do they and many other children have the faintest idea who Poirot is! Sorry but for a £150 night out I was very disappointed and won't be taking them next year.

Very disappointed, spent £200 on tickets for 2 adults and one child, there was no storyline, stage was okay nothing special a few great professional actors David Suchet, Faye Tozer and Ceri Dupee. Drag queen kept appearing throught the show and Smee! just didn't make sense really! Smee again and again, started to get bored of him.. Watched Cinderealla last year good actors absolutely a Spentacular show amazing g actors good storyline. I doubt if we will be going next year !! Wasted my Evening and time driving 2 hours!!!

The Theatre is an iconic venue in Bristol but boy does it has a few issues. Bars are OK albeit the one on the first floor is a bit soulless in decor and I would definitely recommend drinking elsewhere as the drinks are eye wateringly expensive (in my opinion) Inside sound quality is excellent but there is little room between the rows. I'm only 5 ft 10 ins but it felt a tad cramped. Sound quality a view good. Great show. One other thing toilets are small, cramped and insufficient for that number of patrons Would I go again-yes but drink elsewhere!

Took our toddler to the panto for the first time and had the best afternoon! Booked seats in the stalls and had a great view of the stage, booster seats available for small children which is amazing and allows them a better view without having to sit on your lap. Faye Tozer, Andy Ford, David Suchet and Ceri Dupree were amazing and so funny! I especially enjoyed the pirate version of the twelve days of Christmas. Fab performance from all and amazing memories made.

We did Wicked with four adults and two children. Staff were lovely and it’s a beautiful grand looking old theatre. We had a lovely night here and would go again. We ate in Ciao, a beautiful Italian Restaurant around the corner from the theatre and would highly recommend it for a pre theatre meal.

The show was out of this world. The seats are not at all comfortably but cant see a way around this given the age of the theatre. I was surprised we had to have all our bags searched on entry (unsure if security reasons or to check for food or drink)? The cost of the drinks and snacks were extremely pricy and unjustified in my opinion. In fact Disneyland's are cheaper! Not really needed in the economic climate.

Went to see Diversity last night with my daughter and had the most amazing time! We sat in the front row of the grand circle and the view was brilliant. I was concerned as I had heard it can get very hot in the theatre. To my surprise the temperature was perfect. Massive shout out to Louise the security guard, she did an amazing job after the show whilst we were waiting at the stage door. She stood in the cold and wet and was a joy to speak with. Kept us all entertained, she was fab!!!
