West End hit Thriller Live comes to the King's Theatre from Monday 18th April. Thriller Live promises over two hours of non-stop hits from pop to rock, soul to disco as the cast play homage to Jackson's legendary live performances and innovative dance moves executed with flair, precision and passion.

Stage To Page runs this week at the Tron Theatre. Stage to Page is a voluntary collective of writers, directors and actors who meet monthly to conduct short public workshops of scenes from brand new plays. This lively exploration of new writing is an opportunity for writers to be actively involved in an exciting, short workshop process, hear their work being read and get feedback from directors, actors and audiences. Alan Bissett and Johnny McKnight are two of the playwrights involved in the week-long programme.

Also at the Tron this week is Blackout - an honest, brutal and often hilarious insight into alcoholism and recovery, scripted entirely from interviews with recovering alcoholics, including the writer. Blackout is back in Scotland after a five star, sell-out London run.

On Thursday 21st April, star of West End and Broadway Christina Bianco comes to Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall for a special performance. Tonight From The West End features Ray Quinn, Jai McDowall and Zoe Tyler perform alongside Bianco with a fantastic mix of musical performances accompanied with a 200 strong choir and orchestra.

And for something a little bit different, The Citizens Theatre is offering guided backstage tours on Sunday. The tour promises a look inside the iconic Victorian theatre, including dressing rooms and understage.
