You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Bristol Hippodrome''' (((gbmapping|ST590729))) is a [[theater (building)|theatre]] located in [[The Centre (Bristol)|The Centre]], [[Bristol]], [[England]],  United Kingdom with seating on three levels giving a capacity of 1,951. It frequently features shows from London's [[West End theatre|West End]] when they tour the [[United Kingdom|UK]], as well as regular visits by [[Welsh National Opera]] and an annual [[pantomime]].

== History ==
The theatre was designed by [[Frank Matcham]] for [[Oswald Stoll]], and opened on 16 December 1912. It has been designated by [[English Heritage]] as a grade II [[listed building]].<ref>((cite web | title=The Hippodrome | work=historicengland.org.uk | url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1282137 | access-date=2007-03-21))</ref> An important feature of the theatre when it opened was a huge water tank at the front of the stage, which could be filled with 100,000 gallons (450,000 litres) of water. Along with the tank was a large protective glass screen which could be raised in order to protect the orchestra and those in the stalls. It also has a dome, which can be opened when necessary; however since air conditioning has been installed it is rarely opened.

The theatre survived [[World War II]], but less than three years after it ended, a fire destroyed the stage, though not the auditorium. The theatre reopened about 10 months later.

American musician [[Eddie Cochran]] played his final show here, in 1960, and was killed in a road accident only hours later, in [[Chippenham]], Wiltshire.

The theatre plays host to many top shows, such as ''[[Phantom of the Opera (1986 musical)|Phantom of the Opera]]'', ''[[Miss Saigon]]'', ''[[Cats (musical)|Cats]]'', ''[[Les Misérables (musical)|Les Misérables]]'', ''[[Blood Brothers (musical)|Blood Brothers]]'', ''[[Wicked (musical)|Wicked]]'' and ''[[Of Mice and Men (play)|Of Mice and Men]]''. This is due to the size of its stage, which is one of the largest outside London. In addition to large musicals it is also a venue for comedians such as [[Russell Howard]], [[Frankie Boyle]], [[Ricky Tomlinson]] and [[Lee Mack]], as well as children's shows such as ''[[Winnie the Pooh]] Live''. The Bristol Hippodrome has strong links with many shows that frequently appear there, such as the [[Welsh National Opera]].

In 2012, the theatre celebrated its centenary with a show called ''Thanks for the Memories'', staged by amateur groups Bristol Light Opera Club and Bristol Musical Youth Productions.

== Premieres ==
The theatre has staged a number of premieres including:
* British premiere of ''[[Guys and Dolls (musical)|Guys and Dolls]]'' starring [[Vivian Blaine]] as Miss Adelaide and [[Sam Levene]] as Nathan Detroit, reprising their original Broadway performances; the musical opened May 19, 1953 for an eight performance run before opening at the London Coliseum May 28, 1953 and running for 555 performances.  
* European premiere ''[[The Music Man]]'' in 1961
* European premiere of ''[[Sail Away (musical)|Sail Away]]'' in 1962
* British premiere of ''[[By Jeeves|Jeeves]]'' in 1975
* World premiere of ''[[Windy City (musical)|Windy City]]'' in 1982
* World premiere of ''[[The Nutcracker]]'' by the [[English National Ballet]] in 2002
* World premiere of ''[[Mary Poppins (musical)|Mary Poppins]]''  in 2004
