Musicals in Birmingham

Musicals: Two
Next: 27 October – 7 November 2026
Theatres: Birmingham Hippodrome
Country: United Kingdom
Last checked: 29 August 2026

More than 600,000 people a year come through the Hippodrome's doors, which makes it the busiest single theatre in the United Kingdom and the busiest dance venue outside London. It is the home stage of the Birmingham Royal Ballet, and it began as a set of assembly rooms with a circus ring and a Moorish tower.

Birmingham is one of only two cities where both shows get a fortnight rather than a week — the Hippodrome sells its own dates for each.
