Love the Hippodrome go ever chance we can when we are in town visiting our children.Seen " Johnny Cash" and just recently "Elvis". Enjoyed them both, but the youngman that did Elvis was wonderful.He made all the ladies young and old feel special and his interaction with the audiance was great. We could have stayed all night and listen to him..May come back in May.

Holly Tucker was great, but the chairs were super uncomfortable, and the building was freezing cold...miserable.

Attended the Waco Indie Film Festival for one feature film (“Breakup Season”) screening recently. The acoustics harmed the experience greatly—muffled, reverbed. There were no subtitles to make up for this. The screen was relatively small, too.

This place is awesome we saw Gene Watson, the building is beautiful and full of history. Lots of remodeling going on to keep it going

Had a great time performing as Roy Orbison at the Hippodrome! Hope to be back again to perform my other tributes! Great theater and even greater staff! If you’re not going to the Waco Hippodrome for the best concerts in town, what are you doing with your life? Best experience I’ve had at a theater!

Just saw a Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison tribute and really enjoyed it. Parking was easy, just a half a block away. Comfortable seating, we were on the 6th row, so great seats. Tickets purchased online several weeks ago. The entertainment and sound were great! Would definitely go back again. Venue was very nice, and just the right size to be easy-in and easy-out.We had dinner at the 1928 after and it was great! Terry Black's BBQ is new and right down the block as well, as is Pivovar is you want German style food. Many choices, ample parking on a Sunday evening.

Nice venue, great front center seats. The Frank Sinatra/ Dean Martin tribute guys were terrific.

Am embarrassed to say that even though my family and I have lived in Hewitt since 2005, this was our first visit to the Hippodrome (We Are Messengers concert.) What a historic venue, and we will definitely be back

This is an historic building that, like the Tardis, seems bigger on the inside. When I say historic, I mean it, they have photos lining the hallway outside the theater with several famous vintage acts.Once you get used to the seating arrangements, everything makes sense (seat 1 to 4 on each row are on the far right with an aisle separating it from seat 5 and up until another aisle and 4 more seats on the left.) We saw several people sit in the wrong spots and adjust when someone came for the seat.It is a smaller more intimate venue which I think is perfect for some shows. Parking can be confusing so get there early and drive around a little. The sound is good and I expect to see several shows here.
