HISTORY:

Opened in 1900 as a circus variety theatre, the Hippodrome featured a 100,000 gallon tank in which polar bears and sea lions would swim back in the day. Harry Houdini performed there and the venue staged the country’s first ever performance of Swan Lake. In the 1950s the Hippodrome was transformed into the legendary Talk of the Town, and featured a host of major stars from throughout the world including Shirley Bassey, Judy Garland, Sammy Davis Jr, The Jackson 5 and Tom Jones.
