The King's Glasgow
297 Bath Street
Glasgow, G2 4JN
The King's, Glasgow is one of Scotland's most historic and significant theatres.
It opened in 1904 as one of the most brilliant designs of the prolific theatre architect Frank Matcham and has played host to top stars and shows ever since. It is home to possibly the very best Christmas pantomime to be seen in the United Kingdom which over the years has featured the Scottish greats including Stanley Baxter, Jimmy Logan, Rikki Fulton, Jack Milroy, Elaine C Smith and Gerard Kelly.
The King's provides Glasgow's flourishing amateur groups with a high profile stage and was the location for the opening ceremony of Glasgow's European City of Culture events in 1990. Above all, it continues to pack in appreciative audiences performance after performance and throughout the year.
Major changes are afoot at The King's. Management of the theatre will soon pass from Glasgow City Council to the Ambassador Theatre Group. All of the best that the theatre is renowned for will be kept, but immediately you will see a wider range of shows. As well as musicals and pantomime, over the coming pages you will find world class dance from Moscow City Ballet and Matthew Bourne and comedy starring Gerard Kelly and Andy Gray.
You can also look forward to the eagerly awaited return visit of the hugely popular Mum's the Word and the Royal National Theatre's famous production of An Inspector Calls.
