As the stage is set for the theatre’s centenary come and join

hundreds of local performers as they recreate the stories, the

shows and the stars that have appeared on the Hippodrome stage.

From twice nightly variety with greats like Gracie Fields and George

Formby, through the war years, the fire that nearly destroyed it,

and the Save the Hippo campaign in the 80’s.

We’ll take you down memory lane with a hundred years of music

from Ivor Novello to rodgers and Hammerstein, and Pantomime

to Opera. reflecting many of the premieres held there, Guys and

Dolls, The Music Man and Mary Poppins, the controversial Hair they

tried to ban, and long running musicals like Les Miserablés.

This Centenary production is performed by BlOC Productions

and BMyP and involves a multitude of local actors, singers

and dancers from 8 to 80.

teaming up and taking care of business.
