The first Theatre Royal Glasgow opened in 1867 and after two fires reopened in September 1895. This began the long and successful association of the Theatre Royal with the best in the world of entertainment. On March 2005 Ambassador Theatre Group took over the management of the Theatre Royal, and continues to present first class entertainment.
