Overview

Bristol's West End equivalent the Hippodrome is undoubtedly the more commercial end of theatre  but this is not to criticize it. A magnificent stage and auditorium has been host to internationally-renowned shows (often transferred from the West End) such as Les Misérables, Saturday Night Fever and Blood Brothers. Alongside these huge shows are more specialist shows often for children but also for adults - ballet and opera being two examples. The bill is always unashamedly crowd-pulling (as witnessed by the coaches parked outside disgorging hordes of theatre-goers every weekend) and if you choose to go you can expect a night of dazzling entertainment from one of the leading Show Houses in the country.
