How To See Musicals Cheaply in Bristol

Watching live musical theatre is inaccessible for many people, but there is a different way to watch your favourite shows – and it’s not a slime tutorial

The price of theatre tickets can be prohibitive for many people wanting to watch musicals.

Bristol is not short of musical theatre with the centrally based Bristol Hippodrome.

Big West End shows also tour to Theatre Royal Bath, Wales Millennium Centre Cardiff and to an extent The Playhouse Weston Super Mare.

But for those who need to do theatre on a budget, there are other ways of seeing shows that you might not have considered.

Bristol has a significant number of amateur musical theatre groups which go all out when staging shows. It can be a chance to see musicals which are not currently on stage or the ticket costs are unaffordable.

Here’s some of the groups that are worth checking out:
