The Abbey Theatre is a theatre situated on Pool Bank Street in the Abbey Green quarter of Nuneaton, England.
Although best known as the home stage of PR Productions, it also hosts a wide variety of other performances including visiting opera and ballet companies, touring shows, musicals, pantomime and drama.
The Hippodrome is the venue for West End touring theatrical shows, such as Wicked, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Lion King, Mary Poppins and We Will Rock You. The pantomime from the company QDOS is held there annually. Celebrity fashion guru Gok Wan, John Partridge, Stephanie Beacham, Paul Zerdin, Matt Slack and Danielle Hope starred in the 2013/14 production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the theatre's most successful pantomime in ten year. The theatre's Chief Executive is Tony Deeming, and is run as a trust by Nuneaton Arts Council.
With a regular annual attendance of over 50,000, the Abbey Theatre is the busiest theatre in Nuneaton, and the busiest venue for musicals in Warwickshire.
