Birmingham Hippodrome — Attraction in Birmingham

Wednesday 16th July Ine of my most favourite films Mary Poppins was on the stage tonight and boy was I looking forward to it . The show was very impressive the singing and dancing was second to none but I must confess missing uncle Albert laughing and rising to the ceiling plus no merry go round and the pearly King and Queen was a bit disappointing. I know you can't put everything in the show but I don't recall dancing fountains and a replacement nanny being a part of it . Never the less I have seen it and did enjoy the show but won't be rushing to see it again.

Wednesday 25th June Tina the Musical tonight which I had been looking forward to see ,however I must admit I was a bit disappointed. The music is obviously very good, but for me it concentrated too much on the negative and not enough on the positive side of her life. The dancing was very good but unfortunately this show was not for me

March 6th 2025 Tonight's entertainment is the wonderful Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and what a show it was . I must confess this is one of my favourite shows and I wasn't let down by this marvellous performance. All of the performers were terrific and gave there all . As expected it was a full house that went home with a smile on there face and a skip in there step. The staff as always were amazing 👏

October 12th Everybody's Talking about Jamie is a top top show playing to a sell out crowd . The cast were amazing ond the audience loved every minute. A wonderful set of songs makes the show stand out . The Sheffield accent was pretty good so I was well chuffed . If you get the chance to see it go

December 27th Dick Whittington was on tonight and what a night it was,Matt Slack was the usual funny man and boy he is so good with the crowd. A sell out performance as usual and we were thoroughly entertained Marti Pellow played a very convincing villan Andrew Ryan a fabulous panto Dame Dr Ranj Suzanne Shore and of course Doreen Tipton as the flea ridden cat along with some very professional dancers made this a wonderful night

November 9th Puccini La Boheme by the WNO .A fab performance which had me in tears . As per usual the staff here were wonderful.

October 10th Tonight Sister Act ,a thoroughly enjoyable night at the hippodrome brilliant songs and very funny . The cast were excellent. As always the staff were very good

May 26 Magic that goes wrong is very funny show .Very well performed by the excellent actors . The audience were certainly entertained

April 10th Joseph and his technicolor dream coat.What a fabulous performance, a very good production well worth seeing .A sell out tonight and audience loved it

theatre staff are extremely helpful,

April 16th Drifters Girl was performed to near perfection. Everyone involved were outstanding A must for all drifters fans or anyone who appreciates good music . A sell out crowd were on there feet at the end applauding...

Wednesday evening, a bit of cold breeze outdoors and some drops of rain as per usual here in England. At the core of Birmingham City Center and 7 min walk from New Street station youll find this fantastic and dazzling theatre. The area is safe and easy to find, surrounded by all sort of Asian restaurants and shops.

The reception was amazing, polite and warm to my friend and myself. It might be that somehow my English is getting better 😅 and step by step I'm growing on people skills. I promise I'm a good guy, I really try...

We went to watch the unique and popular show "Everybody's Talking about Jamie"

This act surpassed any expectation or assumption previously made.

Brilliant, Dynamic, Emotional,Joyful Creative and Hilarious overall.

It's hard to highlight one specific scene or action as the performers were "sooh" Good.

At this point it might be better not to disclose the content of the show so you can fully be immersed when having your own experience. However, be ready to laugh, wooh,be shocked, cry , whistle and clap as is inevitable and most impressive that a group of people were able to transmit so much joy and connection.

A set of sequence well represented with fantastic acting, dance and music.

By visiting the Hippodrome I really felt like Bruce Wayne (Batman) having a cocktail party.

The image taken is where we were located as we had exclusive seats "stall left section seats 29 and 30" for £120

That's the best location I could find due to availability and if you don't want to miss any single detail from the stage.

I sincerely wish you to have a great time too. Its worth every penny and more.

Well done Guys!...

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...
