King's Theatre, Glasgow - Backstage Tour

I trip to Glasgow today to take a backstage tour of the King's Theatre.

The Theatre was opened in 1904 and has a great history.

Well worth going around and good to see what goes on backstage.

Sleeping Beauty - Kings Theatre, Glasgow

Oh yes we did .............

Despite the atrocious gales we had this morning  - worst I've ever seen - my son Fraser and I fulfilled our  
ticket purchases and went along to see 'Sleeping Beauty' at the King's Theatre in Glasgow.

A great pantomime and all credit to the cast for keeping us fully entertained with a very enjoyable two and a half hours entertainment.

No photography permitted during the actual performance so here's a few of the Theatre interior.

Alan Cumming - King's Theatre

A great time at the King's Theatre today, and a surprise as we had so much talent to entertain us - and I suspect - themselves.

Alan Cumming hosted  Greg Hemphill, Paul Riley, Dave Anderson, Johnny Beattie, Maureen Beattie, Juliet Cadzow, and John Ramage who were all involved.

As an audience we were fully engaged in the presentation on Scottish Variety, Panto, and Stories from 'Behind the Scenes' - just wonderful.

And of course we closed the event with a song sheet in true Pantomime style -

"Oh, ye cannae shove your granny off the bus,
Oh, ye cannae shove your granny off the bus,
Oh, ye cannae shove your granny,
'Cause she's your mammy's mammy.
Oh, ye cannae shove your granny off the bus"

......  to the tune of - 'She'll be Coming Round the Mountain'
