One attendee said yesterday: "When I arrived at 7.20pm the staff were not letting anyone in.

"Hundreds of people were queuing outside.

"It got to 7.30pm and we have just been told that the whole show has been cancelled due to technical difficulties. I was shocked.

"Everyone is now walking away from the theatre raging."

Pictures were also provided, showing huge queues outside the venue.

The Glasgow Times has reported an email sent to customers regarding last night's performance.

The theatre said it will send yesterday's attendees a full credit voucher worth the entire cost of their original booking including fees.  

Alternatively, attendees can exchange their tickets, or get a refund for your ticket, excluding the transaction fee and any Ticket Refund Protection you may have purchased.

The King's Theatre has been contacted for comment.
