The theatre said it has successfully rescheduled several shows including Mamma Mia! And 9 to 5: The Musical. 

 

The Bristol Hippodrome has announced it will extend the suspension of all performances until Saturday 20 September, due to COVID-19.

 

In a statement released on social media, the Hippodrome team explained that they look forward to reopening the venue “as soon as it is safe and appropriate to do so.”

 

The venue team also said they were “encouraged” to see the government’s intervention to protect UK culture after an emergency support package for the sector was announced last week.

But venue said it has successfully rescheduled several shows impacted by the suspension, including Heathers the Musical, Mamma Mia! and Six the Musical.
