Another amazing CNYBirmingham #LunarNewYear in Chinatown Southside District Birmingham Birmingham Hippodrome so proud & grateful for our team & our partners Chinese Festival Committee & Birmingham Chinatown Business Association




This #TaxRelief announcement is so, so important for theatre. It will enable new productions and ensure that Birmingham Hippodrome can keep bringing world-class theatre to Birmingham. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make this permanent.


I’m so proud of the journey of Unfortunate and the part we’ve played with the team. A real pinch me moment, seeing it complete its journey from Patrick Studio to Birmingham Hippodrome main stage & big shout to Old Joint Stock Pub & Theatre Karl Steele who believed in the company even earlier.
