I had my wedding reception in the basement of the theatre, and it was wonderful! Shaina was SO helpful during the entire planning process, and I am very grateful for all her help and for the amazing venue! This is a really unique and beautiful place to hold any kind of event!

I absolutely love this place. Unfortunately, I am not able to get by there as much as I would like. They have great shows, service, and atmosphere. While I am not necessarily the demographic they are shooting for, I still think everyone should try it out at least once. I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised

I wanted to share my experience at the Hippodrome today. I took my son to see "Frog and Toad"- a children's musical. I did not see an age requirement anywhere on the Facebook page or website. In fact, the Facebook event says "a delightful theater experience for kids of all ages". Well, we arrived at 1:30pm, got our tickets and got seated. At 2:05, minutes after the show was supposed to start, I was approached by the house manager and asked my son's age. I told her he is almost 4. She said that my son was not allowed to be there because he is not 4 years old yet. I was shocked because I had never heard this age requirement and besides he will be 4 in a few months. She said she couldn't do anything now because the show was about to start but "do not bring him back to another show". In case you are wondering, my son was sitting perfectly still and quiet. The only thing that drew attention was that he is small in size. He behaved perfectly during the show. He did not make a sound except to laugh and clap at the appropriate moments. If this age requirement was so important that they felt the need to call me out in front of other patrons, it needed to be clearly stated on the advertisement and also when we called to purchase tickets. I am completely appalled by the house manager for this rude behavior. I hope to spare other parents the embarrassment and unpleasant experience that I had today.

Staff was very helpful when I called with a ADA accessibility question. Just another reason--beyond the great shows--to love going to the Hipp!
