This is a sumptuous old fashioned movie palace that has been lovingly preserved, and we are happy for that. Big performances are held here, so find something that appeals to you and come here for a treat.

What was good about using Trip Advisor was the choices. I needed to be near the Hippodrome. I also wanted to be centrally located. Everything I needed to know was right on the site. I stayed at the Marriot Springhills Suites. The staff was nice, the room was clean, and there is a free breakfast. If someone is going to the Hippodrome, it is literally down the block. I am not into sports, but there was a baseball game, and Springhills was within walking distance. The seaport was also within walking distance.

Came from Massachusetts to see Wicked with my daughter! Loved the theater, the snacks and the show! We had a great afternoon

I will start by saying the Phantom of the Opera show was phenomenal!!!! the singers, the set and the live orchestra made this an incredible show.The building is historical, and beautiful. The seats are narrow and leg room is very limited. The drinks are a good pour, but as expected, the drinks are priced expensively. There is a parking garage near the hippodrome, which was a better choice as compared to our 10 min walk from our garage.I would say do not use STUB HUB for getting your tickets it was a nightmare and confusing.

I have gone to the Hippodrome a fair amount of times over the years since it opened. This time I was attempting to use a gift card that someone had given me. It was impossible to use. I had the gift card number and the amount and every contact I made told me to contact someone else. I contacted them by phone and email multiple times over an extended period of time and finally just gave up on using it. Nobody seemed willing to go the extra mile and solve the problem. I will visit other performing arts venues in the area but will not be returning to this one. I would definitely advise against purchasing gift cards from them.
