The Hippodrome theatre is an iconic landmark in the city and home to thousands of shows each year! Growing up my parents took us to see numerous shows and it was always spectacular. Over the past few years I have found myself gravitating my way back to the theatre. This year one of my favorites was taking my 2.5 year old to see Paw Patrol and my Mom to see Wicked! I highly recommend!!!

We really enjoyed wicked. The theater is nice on the inside. Two complaints: 1. Not a great location for the theater. 2. This is the least amount of sitting room I have EVER had at a venue (I’m only 5’8” and my knees hit the seat in front of me and I had no room at all to move my feet. It was very uncomfortable and I feel sorry for anyone any taller than me!). Otherwise, the staff was great, the decor is nice and the show was great fun. All seats in the house are good views I think:)

This place is intimate. I cant show photos of the set. That is prohibited for obvious reasons. However, there is not a bad seat in this house. My wife and I have seen several shows here. The staff are wonderful people. We just discovered a very close by Afghanistan cuisine place on the last visit. It kept us from experiencing the delay leaving the parking garage. The place is called Maiwand Grill and its very delicious food. Go eat somewhere after the show. Trust me, your time will be much better spent!

Beautifully restored theatre. Seats are small and too close together, like on an airplane. No leg room for tall people. I am 57 and my knees touched the seat in front of me. Orchestra seats have a great view of stage

Had a great experience. Everyone was very polite and helpful and appeared to be enjoying themselves. We had really good seats and enjoyed the show. The bathrooms were clean and the staff accounted for extra women by opening another restroom. I love that such a great place exists in my home town. Cant wait to go back.

Watched Wicked at the Hippodrome and it was fantastic. The theatre was elegant and the stage was beautifully designed. You can really escape the city by going into this theatre and its definitely something that should be seen. Recommended!

We went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Parking was close and convenient and reasonable in price. The Hippodrome is elegant and historic. We we pretty close but it looked like you would have a great view from anywhere in the theater. The people working were friendly and helpful. The play was amazing. It was so exciting and full of energy. The cast was amazing. They put on such a wonderful show. We were there for the Sunday matinee that the understudy went on for Willy Wonka and he was fantastic! I cant even imagine someone else in the role. He was entertaining and charismatic! The whole cast were fantastic!

Good shows, but seats are not great for short people. Back rows in Orchestra seem best for seeing over those in front of you. Nice art exhibit in parking garage foyer. Great views from level 9 of garage.

Recently watched Hamilton here and absolutely loved it. Broadway quality, knotch cast and crew and facility is nice and intimate. Parking garage attached top building wasnt that expensive. All pluses compare to seeing the show in NYC.

Went and saw wicked here and it was amazing. The parking garage has elevators into the theater so you dont have to worry about walkimg on the street and looking for the entrance. Though i had pretty good seats peoples heads were still in the way for a lot of the show. I am short so i kind of have this issue everywhere i go. However i do wish the seats were more cascaded like most places are for shows. Overall, wonderful experience!

Such a wonderful experience seeing Wicked. What a great staff that runs the theater. I will definitely be back to see another show because of how wonderful the customer service of the entire Hippodrome was.

Beautiful theater. Plenty of parking nearby. Food options both in and right around the theater. An excellent venue.

We went to see the production of Wicked last night. The show was amazing and very enjoyable. The theater itself was clean and beautiful. Seating was difficult though. My husband is over 6 ft and he had to keep his knees up the entire time so that he wouldn’t hit the person in front of him. I’m 5’5” and I barely had room to move.

The theatre is great. Ive been to many plays but this was my first at the Hippodrome. The seating was comfortable and leg room was a whole lot better than other venues. We were located in the first row of the 303 section and visibility was good. The only drawback was the skinny (additional) metal bar that was on top of the of the railing in front of us. You had to sit up straight to see the whole stage. Shorter people like my sister found it hard to look above it. Other than that. It was good. Enough bathrooms and areas outside of the theatre to hang around. I will leave a separate review for the cafe in the building. It was horrendous.

Im a season subscriber and really enjoy the shows it includes as well as the added benefits. The staff and the ushers are always very friendly. The decor and layout are beautiful and its always kept very clean. The seats arent always great though. Limited view really means that just as a heads up to anyone looking at those cheaper seats. The first few rows I would also consider limited view as I couldnt see anything from the waist down when I sat that close. And at 52, Ive discovered that balcony seats are best for my view. Down in orchestra, I usually cant see much if someone tall sits in front of me. They have a parking garage attached to the theatre so you dont even have to walk outside to enter which is very convenient.

Love this theater. You can park in the adjoining garage and do not have to worry about walking the street. Its not a very nice neighborhood so it is great the garage is right there and can give you some peace of mind. The theater itself is historic and just stunning. Love that it is in Baltimore and such awesome shows run. We just saw Aladdin and are returning to see Wicked.

No long lines to get into the theater. Places to sit and stand. The staff is very nice and friendly and can guide you to your seat if you need to. The seats are nice and you have a great view from any angle.

Wonderful staff and artistsIt was difficult to see and hear the final notes of the show because so many people left. The show was amazing. I think the audience didnt realize there was more show that they were missing.The show isnt over until the orchestra plays the final note. You paid good money for this entertainment, get your moneys worth, see the entire show.

Metal detectors , seats not bad great show wicked, didn’t get robbed so it’s a good day

Great theater and not a bad seat in the house. Enjoyed seeing Wicked there again.

This is a beautiful historic theater located in downtown Baltimore. I am a season ticket holder and I am always so excited to go see a musical or a play there. I find the place always so pleasant to attend, the employees (who are mainly volunteers) from what I understand are always very helpful. The sound system is great and if the show requires live orchestra is even more phenomenal. I would highly recommend this place! (Photos were taken before the show)

Love going to the Hippodrome! Always clean, beautiful, well maintained. Saw Frankie Valli this...hes so awesome! Keep the wonderful performances coming! Wish some of the chairs were a little wider...only complaint...feels pretty cramped sometimes if you have a coat, or are beside someone a little larger.

Beautiful interior of the theater great visibility even from seats that were in the upper level. The food and drinks were reasonably priced for a theater. Convenient parking attached just be prepared to wait to get out of the garage at the end of the show.

Awesome theater, includes dining options for a one stop destination. Paid parking in the area is fairly abundant as well.

Really nice place. Parking garage on the same block has an elevator that goes directly to the theater, $12. I picked up my tickets at roll call which was on the 2nd floor coming out the elevator. Bathrooms were really clean. Not too many options for drinks and food. They ran out of popcorn before intermission. We were in section way up but view was still good but extremely limited on leg room. Steep stairs may be problem for some

As much as an event cost there. You would think they would make it more comfortable. If I am paying over two hundred dollars to see something that is three to four hours long. I would like to be comfortable not feel like I am a can of sardines. No leg room or elbow room at all.

Amazing, beautiful old theatre. Front row mezzanine seats were perfect! We saw Randy Rainbow...hope he is accurately predicting The political future.Interpreters for the deaf are available as needed.

Ushers are very helpful seating is not bad. It would be great if all seats sold allowed for viewing everything. The side seats cut off action on your side of the stage

Saw the ballet Nutcracker, and it was amazing! We found parking immediately, and was near the entrance which was good for me using my cane. Our seats were good with nothing obscuring any part of the stage. However, the seats are tiny and I was not always comfortable. This was myfirst ballet and I was impressed. The Moscow Ballet is a talented group, & the local extras were charming. All earned their 5 stars.

We saw Wicked. It was an amazing performance with a top tier cast. The production was great. The seating was good. The staff friendly. The facilities outside the theater were very nice and easy on the eyes. I would see another performance there. 100%

Great venue. Saw Wicked there on the lower level. Plenty of bars for the intermission, and good sound for the show. The neighborhood could use some more nightlife, though. Its odd to have one of the premier theatres in your city be surrounded by dark windows, empty buildings, boarded up shops, etc. There is some nightlife, but less than you would expect.

A classic theatre experience. Hamilton showed there very nicely. We signed up for the Hipp Happy Hour and it was worth it.

I will want to come back here. Buy your tickets on-line, and have them on hold at the box office, to be picked up the day of the show. There is no charge for this service. You will save a lot in fees. Great sound quality. We even got to meet some of the actors and actress. First time there, and I will definitely come back again. You can also park across the street, and pay for it in advance. Very reasonable prices.

Love Wicked! Seems different every time I see it! Great performance!

1st time visitor. It was awesome! Easy access to the garage with direct access to the Hippodrome. Already picked seats too see Wicked.Ushers were most helpful as well.

Even high seats were good, theater glasses or binoculars recommended. Prices for snack and water were too high! Cats was absolutely fabulous the singers were so talented!

Has a great venue that offers different accessories before entering. It has great viewing angles along with a very nice sound system. But the space is a but cramped, allowing for many people to get and watch an amazing show.

A great theater! Parking is convenient and there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance.I tried the full open bar and dinner for the first time on Friday, and I loved it, somewhat because the food was good, but mostly because of the awesome bartender, Michelle. In fact, I would go again just for Michelle!

Staff was awesome, the stage was well decorated and the play was amazing. Reccomend going when You have the chance

The shows are fantastic - Broadway caliber performances at a fraction of the price. I sat up in the balcony (cheaper seats) and could see everything perfectly.The place is architecturally beautiful inside. They have the added bonus of having an attached parking garage - the elevator from the garage opens up directly into the building.There is a bar open with decently priced drinks and snacks.The only issue I encountered was that the seats are very narrow. It is an older theater, and following the trend of the time the seats were made smaller than modern society is used to. The woman next to me was very uncomfortable and did not return after intermission. My husband is very tall and was not completely comfortable either. The three of us sat thigh-to-thigh for the first half of the performance. Something to consider.

We had a fantastic evening. Never saw this side of Dorothy. Changed my opinion on almost the entire show. Wow! Wow! WOW!!!!

Elegant old theater right downtown. Its huge, so the balcony seats can feel really far away. But productions are usually top-notch. Only wish there were a few more good restaurants in the vicinity.

The Hippodrome is a great theatre! Seats could be more roomy though. The theatre decor is beautiful. The employees are very friendly and courteous. No long waits for elevators. Parking and amenities are conveniently close by.

The experience from parking in its garage to my seat was excellent. The staff was informative and welcoming. The production quality on stage was top notch (Broadway where?). The only reason I left out a star is due to its cramp seating. I am 510 and had virtually no leg room. I dont recommend the Hippodrome to those who suffer from knee issues unless you can purchase seating on the floating balconies (sides, elevated), front row in every section that faces a walk way. Other than the leg room issues this place is a must to visit to experience Broadway plays in Baltimore City.

Parking garage attached to theatre made it simple to park and enter the facility without worrying about the elements. Staff was courteous and went out of their way to assist. Long leg people should try to get an end seat. Theatre seats are the same position as when they were originally installed. Get out early on intermission if you want concessions. The lines can get a little long. Make sure you scope them out first so you know which stand is selling alcohol and which is not. Beautiful facility.

My daughter and I saw Aladdin and it was fantastic. My 4 year old was quiet for 2 hours!! The customer service at the hippodrome was also great. The ticket attendants, the people at the concession stands, and coat check were helpful and friendly, but also quick and patient with parents with young kids like me. I was thankful that snacks were allowed in the theater for a show that they know would have many kids in attendance.

My mom took my sister and I to the Hippodrome to watch the Aladdin movie. It was incredible. The actors are amazing the seats are amazing each seat has an amazing view this is only my 2nd time going however I hope to go a lot more times. It’s an amazing family idea I would highly recommend.

Excellent venue with $12 garage parking nearby. Its a small venue with great architecture & style. The acoustics are better than average. Exits are well marked and the crowd empties out quickly. They sell alcohol and small snacks. The seats are small, not particularly comfortable and packed closely.

Absolutely great~! The first time Ive been here in a long time was a wonderful birthday gift for my girlfriend and we absolutely had the best time!! Hope to go again soon

Beautiful venue! Staff was very accommodating to my mom, who uses a rolling walker. The Hipp Cafe is very convenient. Overall, our experience seeing Wicked at the Hippodrome was outstanding!

The atmosphere, the amount of room within the facility, the staff were all wonderful. the only issue i had were the seats. im 57 220lbs and it was close to tight fit for me. luckily no one was in the seats on both sides of me. i get that they want as many as possible; however there needs to be some changing of the seats to make more comfy room wise.

Beautiful venue. Be careful because its a small theater and often packed. On the bottom floor, the seats are not on an incline, meaning if you are far enough back you might have people blocking your view. My preference is the balcony seats.

My wife and I spent an evening watching Aladdin at this venue. The staff are friendly and professional, and they also had some great childrens activities section and hot chocolate prior to the evening performance. The theater feels smaller than others, which is up to the individual on whether they prefer. The picture is the view from seats U2/U4.

Great place to see a play. Have been here twice and it keeps getting better. Saw Wicked last night and it was the best ever!

Very nice theater, convenient parking, clean facilities. Seating can be tight but not to the point where it feels overly noticable and uncomfortable. I say that more as an FYI and not as a critique. Staff was also very helpful and polite on our visit.

Really beautiful, attended a graduation ceremony there but want to go back to explore it more

Courteous and helpful staff. They had a quick and efficient check in and security process which kept the line moving. The venue was spotless and seats comfortable. The sound system for our show was phenomenal, which likely is a success for both the venue and the bands sound engineers. The bars were decently stocked but pricey, however no moreso than any other similar venue. I will happily see other performances here in the future.

Beautiful old Vaudeville house. Great restoration, with parking garage entrance. Bar, cafe and restaurant. Saw a comedian here and was able to bring my drink in. VERY comfy seats, but my four star would have been a 5 but for the leg room. Im 59 so my legs were crunched with the width of the aisles, but it was for the Vaudevillian era so really, who cares. Friendly and helpful staff and great facilities. GO SEE this gem!!!

Went to see wicked. It was great. The theater was spectacular. The staff was wonderful. Highly recommend it for a date night.

Always great shows. I wish the seats were more comfortable though. If you are over 57 your knees push up against the seat in front of you. Very tight.

Loved it! It was our first time there. Only thing I didnt care for was they didnt have a variety of food to choose from. Only popcorn and candy.

Beautiful theater, saw Jess Hilarious perform a few weeks ago. Great experience her every time Ive visited. A real gem in Baltimore.

The show Shen Yen was phenomenal.I enjoyed the seating area , lower level.It appeared to be more leg room. I truly appreciate the show starting on time.

What am I supposed to say? Its professional theater in a beautiful space! Theyre even well organized with getting people out at the show in a timely fashion.

My boyfriend and I came to watch Hozier, Wasteland, Baby! and the Hipadrome was definitely by far, one of most beautiful theatres weve been to yet. The sound in the theater was euphonious and our experience was superb. We sat right orchestra (Row CC) and still felt like we had front row seats. Jade Bird was the opening act and she is a phenomenal performer. Not only does she have an AMAZING voice, she has a wonderful sense of humor, she had the entire audience laughing and brought the perfect amount of energy to prep the crowd for the main act. Overall we had a great time and would definitely come back to visit the theater again!

The Hippodrome is such an elegant venue. We saw Aladdin today, which was WONDERFUL! The costumes were beautiful and the sets were simply spectacular! Id see it again right now.

Beautiful venue! Staff was very helpful w/ seating. Our seats was comfortable. Refreshment selections were good but pricey.Helpful hints... When looking for end seat on the floor towards the front they are blocked by structures so view is limited. We sat in row M and we were fine.

Awesome venue. Not a bad seat in the house. I am visiting town and got a seat to Aladdin in Center Orch Row U and I could still see the stage very well. Doesnt take long for folks to enter or exit theater, either. Ample bathrooms and bars. Well done.

Parking convenient to Hippodrome. Saw Wicked. It was great.

Had the pleasure of seeing Hamilton here. The seats in the Grand Suite are perfection!

I just returned to hotel Half way through Wicked show. The seats are tiny. I am 6 tall and only 170lbs. So Im not bug by any means and I was cramped up. Very uncomfortable. I recommend a end seat or the first row in the section so you can breath..

The theater is always good. The shows are great. The acoustics are wonderful. Theres not a bad seat in the house

The production was outstanding. The place is enormous. The sightlines are terrific. I dont think there is a bad seat in the house.

Everything was Amazing. All the workers were Very nice and professional.No leg room and Im only 55 but the theater is Beautiful.

We were at the Hippodrome 04Mar2020 for Wicked. The show was incredible! The theatre, its acoustics, staff, and on-site parking further made for a wonderful evening.

Parking was very convenient and affordable onsight for this show. The theater is very nice, well layed out, comfortable seats and friendly staff. I will definitely be interested in visiting the Hippodrome for future shows!!

Hippodrome has come a long way. Feels like we are in NY watching Broadway Show, on Broadway! Something has definitely changed. Cant wait to go back. Lucky to have Theater so close and in Baltimore no yer.

Great historic theater in the heart of Baltimore. Comfortable seating and good acoustics. Ive attended several events here over years and always enjoy returning.

Saw Phantom, it was incredible! The theater is amazing, no bad seats. You can get drinks there is you want but be prepared to wait a bit. Street parking may be possible if you know your way around.

Dont think theres really a bad view in the house but the seats are tight! My knees were killing me from not being able to move them. But the show was GREAT...kids LOVED IT!

Saw Wicked the other night and has a phenomenal time. For a chilly night it was comfortable in the theater and the sound carried beautifully through the performance

The wonderful decor looks original but is clean and very well preserved. Everything looks brand new but perfect to the original design. The seats are made from wood but they are in perfect shape and the cushioning/upholstery is plenty comfortable for a long performance or show. We really enjoyed this theater.

Love this place. We came with no ADA seats precooked and they worked hard to get us a place for Wicked. 10 minutes before curtain too. Then checked on us during intermission.

OMG! We saw Gene Watson last night and he was awesome ! Hes band is one of the best Ive seen

The play (Cats) was spectacular. Every part, costumes, set and best lighting ever. The talent on stage was unbelievable. Only complaint, no leg room.

Amazing place with little cafe inside

Sound was excellent. My view was not very good. I was seated new the theater. Tickets 140.00 for Wicked.

Saw Hamilton. Totally awesome.. The theatre itself was quite nice. It was my first time here. I was surprised at how quickly we got inside and seated. Staff was helpful and friendly. Just a really cool looking theatre as well.

Loved the production of Wicked.Singing was only ok, but the stage design. Costuming and overall experience was wonderful.

Easily accessible, beautifully decored, excellent seating arrangement. Theater small enough to be intimate yet big enough to feel spacious. Loved it.

Its well organized, maintained and security is top notch. The building is absolutely gorgeous and Im so glad we were able to visit! We went to see Shen Yun and had an amazing time!

First off the show I saw was fantastic. But the staff was courteous and helpful. The venue itself is ornate and gorgeous. The seats are comfortable. The bathrooms are clean but there is not as many as I would want, but they seemed sufficient. The box office was friendly. Everything was clean. Those things added to the beauty of my veiwing experience and I was grateful. It was a lovely way to spend an evening.

The production of Jesus Christ Superstar was top notch in every way, the vocals, the dancing, the music were all superb, but the Hippodrome must work to eliminate obstructed view seats. And sure shouldnt charge top dollar for them. Shame

Awesome Place! Got to see Wynonna last night and she was absolutely beautiful! Love this place because its small enough that you feel like part of the show

4 stars because the seats are way too small. Otherwise a beautiful venue

Beautiful experience. I hate that I didnt get any pictures of the inside architecture as it was breathtakingly beautiful!!! The seats are very very tight. We sat in the balcony on the first row...great seats, but super uncomfortable, especially with the persons knee behind constantly tapping the back of my head!!

The hippodrome is beautiful, but old. The seats are not comfortable, the sound needs improving, and the line at the ladies room is always miles long. My 5th time seeing Wicked. First time here...first time not totally captured by the production.

Great venue in downtown baltimore to see great Broadway shows and other artists. We took our daughter to see Wicked and the cast and set was top notch.

Beautiful theater... Went to see the show Wicked and had a great time.

Beautiful building. Seats were comfortable. Not much leg room. But its was still ok. I went to the Smart. Funny and Black show with Amanda Seals. She was definitely ALL three of these words, smart, funny and Black . Look her up and check her out. All and all I had a wonderful first time there.
