It's an old theatre which opened back 1904. The outide of the building hasn't changed much over the years but it underwent a significant interior refurbishment in 2009.
It holds 1785 people over 4 levels and I'm sure it will be packed to the rafters while Shrek is in town.
Last time Faye was at the Kings Theatre was back in 2011 when she received rave reviews for her performances playing Elle Woods in the Legally Blonde Tour.
BACKSTAGE PASS LEGALLY BLONDE REVIEW
KINGS THEATRE, GLASGOW - AUGUST 2011
Faye Brooks is perfectly cast as the blonde heroine Elle Woods. Her outstanding vocal range, sunny characterisation and uncanny resemblance to Elle in the original film, Reece Witherspoon, results in a performance that is sure to delight fans of the film and musical alike.
Unfortunately winter has returned in Scotland this week with snow and freezing temperatures. Apparently it was -7c on Monday morning which is the lowest April 27 temperature since records began in the 1850's.
POLAR PLUME SET TO BLOW IN FROM ARTIC
Here is a beautiful picture of some snow capped mountains taken by Nikki Bentley - who plays Gingy in Shrek - as she arrived in Glasgow yesterday.
I'd like to wish Faye and her fairytale friends the best of luck for their first show later today and hope they have a wonderful 3 weeks in Scotland. Och aye the noo!
