High-energy show choir from Ratton School brings numbers from Wicked, The Lion King, Grease, Legally Blonde, West Side Story and Billy Elliot to the Royal Hippodrome.
Ratton School bring their show choir to the Royal Hippodrome Theatre for a three-night run from Wednesday 20 January to Friday 22 January 2027, with a 7:30pm start each evening. It's a high-energy celebration of musical theatre, built around show-stopping numbers from some of the world's best-loved musicals.
The setlist pulls from a wide range of the West End and Broadway. You'll hear numbers from Wicked, The Lion King, Grease, Legally Blonde, West Side Story and Billy Elliot—so it's a mix of the big, sweeping ballads and the faster, more upbeat pieces. The whole thing is carried by the dynamic choreography for which the school's productions have become known, and the run is billed as a showcase of the talent and ambition of the Ratton shows.

It's a good one if you're into musical theatre, and since it's a school production, it's as much about seeing the students on stage as it is about the songs themselves. The Hippodrome is about a 13-minute walk from Eastbourne station, so it's an easy trip in from the train. Tickets are £10.50 for concessions and £17.50 full price, with the show running at 7:30pm on Wednesday 20, Thursday 21 and Friday 22 January.
