This spring looks set to be an amazing time for
all Scottish theatre goers as the King’s and Theatre Royal will

At the King’s there’s still time to book for the devilishly brilliant musical
The Witches of Eastwick (28 Apr – 9 May) starring Glasgow’s own Marti Pellow. Other season highlights include Quadrophenia (2- 6 Jun), a brand new production based on the iconic movie with music by Pete Townsend; Roald Dahl’s The BFG (1 – 5 Sep) a whizzcracking show which will excite Dahl lovers young and old; The Silver Darlings, directed by Kenny Ireland, (8-12 Sep), an epic adventure based on one of the most cherished Scottish novels of the 20th Century; Chicago (5 – 10 Oct) will razzle and dazzle its way on stage with Gary Wilmott and Eastender’s Emma Barton (Honey Mitchell) and of course the ultimate classic adventure story Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (20 Oct – 14 Nov); this fantasmogorical award-winning musical is in Glasgow for 4 weeks only and stars Barbara Rafferty as Baroness Bomburst. Finally it’s never too early to book for the King’s panto and this year we present Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (4 Dec – 17 Jan), with a brand new script and never before seen sets and costumes.
At the
Theatre Royal we are
delighted to announce we are one of only three
British tour dates for Arthur
Miller’s A View from the
Bridge (2-6 June). This
electrifying production boasts an outstanding cast featuring
Scotland’s own Ken Stott
and
Hollywood star Mary Elizabeth
Mastrantonio. A View from the
Bridge is currently storming
the West End and we are
thrilled to be the theatre bringing this production to Scotland.
Our series of drama continues with an exciting co-production by
two of Scotland’s acclaimed companies, the Dundee Rep Ensemble
and the National Theatre of Scotland with
Peer
Gynt (23 – 27 June). A
raucous and radical interpretation of Ibsen’s classic
Peer
Gynt takes its audience on a
truly wild and theatrical journey.
Other not to be missed shows include the stunning
Imperial Ice Stars with Cinderella on Ice (9 – 13 Jun); the much-loved family musical Annie (4 – 8 Aug); West End sensation Tim Flavin in Singin in the Rain (1 – 5 Sep); Matthew Bourne’s Edinburgh International Festival sell-out hit Dorian Gray (29 Sep – 3 Oct) and later in the year don’t miss one of the most popular Scottish plays of all time, The Steamie (2 – 7 Nov).
