Kelvingrove Hotels in Glasgow

The King's Theatre was designed by Frank Matcham and opened in 1904 primarily as a receiving house for touring musicals, dance, comedy and circus-type performances. The theatre also provides a prominent stage for local amateur productions and stages an annual pantomime.
Over the years many actors and actresses have graced the stage of The King's. These included Sir Lawrence Olivier, Sarah Bernhardt, John Gielgud, Katharine Hepburn and Tyrone Power. A young Michael Jackson even featured there as part of a Jackson Five appearance at a Royal Variety Performance in the late 1970's.

The theatre occupies the corner of Bath Street and Elmbank Street, in the Charing Cross area of Glasgow and is less than a ten minute walk from The Kelvingrove Hotel.
