The show was 10/10 but the venue (Galleries) was cramped, claustrophobic and excessively hot. A truly horrible experience not only for us but also for the dozens of people queuing to get outside at the break to leave. Such a shame that a great show was ruined by a building that clearly isn't fit for today's standards.

My legs are still sore with being crammed into the most ridiculously small space.

I went to see "The play that goes wrong." Which was hilarious.
The theatre itself is stunning. I was sat in the stalls and had plenty of leg room (I'm 5' 10").
The seat was comfortable. Loo's where clean and tidy.
Prices of food and drink are quite expensive, but are what you would expect from a theatre or cinema.

It's a beautiful building, inside and out. The ATG booking fees are ridiculously expensive in comparison to other ticket providers. They do put on many good shows but it becomes a very expensive hobby of you're going quite often!

The show and sound was fantastic and the theatre still has s lot of charm. I do think it might be time for a bit of an overhaul as the bar is small to the point of inadequacy and the upper "poor man" seats barely fit even the smallest adult.

Just been to another amazing show in the Kings. The theatre is a grand old lady who is a wee bit tarnished but still a pleasure to visit. Staff are helpful and friendly and with the addition of drink and snacks to your seat it's even easier to sit back and enjoy the show. Great atmosphere and good value.

We saw Snow White on Chridtmas Eve.
Have to say think it's one of the best so far & we go every Christmas Eve.
Usually have the following year's panto book, but not received an email to book the next one,nor can find it on website.
Please hurry Kings & tell me when 2016 panto is ready to book. This is our family tradition.
Thankyou

Went to End of the Rainbow on Sat 30th April with my mum and daughter. It was the worst musical we have ever been to. The language was disgusting and it was depressing. We go to musicals to be entertained and come out feeling good but this musical made us angry and depressed.

Beautiful old building, both outside and inside richly ornately decorated, showing some wear in places but this just adds character.. In the small bar, the walls are covered with photographs of long passed famous actors. The acoustics are excellent , and the atmosphere wonderful, love this theatre , a step back in time, join the ghosts from past.

Went to the Pantomime at Kings Theatre and as always it was fun for all. If you have never been you do not know what you are missing. Panto at Kings has an excellent cast with reasonable prices and good views throughout

The whole place is a little run down and could do with a good clean and lick of paint. Seats on the upper circle do not give much leg room at all.

Even still, always an enjoyable evening to be had at this Glasgow stalwart.

Was so disappointed on Friday night after looking forward to Dirty Dancing my all time favourite film.
The behaviour of other people , foul language, and drunken antics and smoking ruined our night out .
They were totally out of order and the chaos they caused upset a lot of people.
The theatre was far too hot as well which only added to spoiling what had started out as a lovely day out in Glasgow with my friends.
The security staff were unable to control the crowd , bar staff sold alcohol to people who already had far too much to drink !!!
Will be a long time before we venture back which is a shame , as we really enjoy going to the theatre and visit it quite often.

The show was absolutely amazing. We went through 3 entrances and up 2 flights of stairs before we found our seats though as instructions were very unclear. One very nice attendant let us through a staff only door to save time, however another attendant was very snippy because the show was about to start. We would have been on time if it wasn't for the entrance confusion.

What to say .... had a great time watching Rock of Ages the cast were great before I went people were saying Kevin Clifton will be great well he was good but really the rest of the cast were just brilliant. It was good to see old( Curly Watts ) who held his own against the rest. All in all it was a great show and we'll worth a watch if it comes down your way.
