I have seen various shows at the Bristol Hippodrome over the years and most productions have been excellent and I have sat mainly in the stalls (note newly refurbished seats in the stalls and grand circle - been done in the last couple of years - saw lion king in November 2019 and after a gap of a while so had been done then and also up in the circle at the top (not much good unless you are good or OK with heights but you do get a good view)

I booked to go on a theatre tour in December and it is an eye opener to all the things that you miss as you go in and explains a lot - it is a grade 2 listed buildings so there is a limit to the things that they can do with a building that is now 107 years old opened 16th December 1912 - and survived 2 world wars without being damaged and burnt in a fire back stage in 1947!!

If you are interested in the theatre it is worth booking on this tour just to get a better insight and understanding - you go behind stage and in the orchestra pit and also on the stage - there is a charge for this

GETTING THERE - Would suggest for most people that live locally in Bristol that you use the bus as all or most of the buses go through the centre of Bristol and pass close by to the theatre - this will be cheaper than parking and also not as a busy

Car parks are nearby but they will also be a fare walk away and busy

SECURITY CHECKS - Allow plenty of time to get through the security checks and to be seated for a prompt start at the time stated - nothing more irritating that people who come in late after the show has started - off-putting for the audience as well as the actors

Otherwise enjoy the evening
