Sip n' Stroll - Historic Building Tour
Join us for a Sip and Stroll, an exclusive behind-the-scenes building tour of the Hippodrome Theatre.
The Hippodrome Theatre’s 51st season EMPOWER delivers a powerful lineup of stories showcasing strength, perseverance, and empowerment, including the brilliant, foul-mouthed women trying to save the world in “POTUS: or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive”, the guys holding the holiday together through teamwork in the return of “The Ultimate Christmas Show (ABRIDGED)”. Scrooge finds his heart in our holiday tradition “A Christmas Carol”, a family struggles through the complexities of mental health in the Tony Award-winning musical “Next to Normal“, and two artists challenge societal norms in the modern comedy “White”. And as always, stay tuned for our summer musical announcement, which promises to be an exciting addition to an already incredible lineup.
