Bristol Hippodrome - Bristol

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.

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

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.

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.

Amazing theatre, makes me feel like I’m in London. The stalls seats are up a slope which is great for shorter people! Great view from both stalls and the circle, even at the back.

Although the view is good from all seats, there is very little leg room, barely enough to put your things, and the seats themselves are pretty narrow. There is also little space in the lobby and nowhere to get food- only small, commercial snacks like popcorn and a coffee. The queue to enter the stalls usually extends outdoors due to how little space there is inside. The staff is also a bit hostile. The space is beautiful and pleasant to walk in, it is also well ventilated. I went to watch Shen Yun and was honestly a bit disappointed, both with the performance and the theatre.

Beautiful venue. Friendly staff. Very clean and well presented always. Merch store always ready before show starts to save people time! And the ability to order food and drinks and merch to your seat pre show and for the interval is a fantastic service! Pricey food and drinks but you expect that these days 🙂 lovely venue!
