The famous and well-preserved 1929-built theater. You'd be impressed by the sheer size of the building before you even knew what it was (like in my case). We paid tickets that night to see the 2010 Tony Award-winning musical, Memphis, in large part just so we could see the inside of the Fox Theatre.
Built in a northern Africa/Egyptian motif, the detailing on the outside of the building is exquisite. Inside is equally awe-inspiring with its bold blue ceiling, stained windows and intricate wall and ceiling work.
I wish more of these 1920's era theaters were preserved. Kudos to Atlanta to keeping this one alive! -

Its Magical Daddy, Thats what my daughter said Friday when I took her to see The Atlanta Ballets version of the Nutcracker. Which I had not seen since I was in it in the 4th grade as a sugar plum ferry, Thanks Ms. Page, have never gotten over that.
But that is how I feel every-time I walk in the door of what is arguably the greatest place to see anything. I have memories through out my entire life of this Magical place, From Les Misarble, Phantom of the Opera and Grease to REM, Widespread Panic, A wedding and a few parties. Its really just cool to just go see even if you are'nt seeing anything. -

This past December was my first time visiting in a very long time. I saw the Atlanta Ballet perform the Nutcracker. The Fox is very cool and I like how they have kept up with the place. It has an overall very classy feel. The people who work there are very nice. The people at concessions were patient and friendly. Prices sucked of course but that is what it is all about. The staff was also very helpful with directing people to their seats. Parking around the Fox was not all that bad either. Only complaint I have is that those seats are a little cramped! But I definitely look forward to visiting The Fox again !

A beautiful, grand theatre with interesting architecture - it was originally the Yaarab Temple Shrine Mosque, was designed in the late 1920s. The mosque-like structure has minarets, onion domes, and a lavish décor. Love the flickering stars and magically drifting clouds. Parking is expensive - but not too bad.

This is a beautiful venue. I visited for the first time in December 2011 to see a performance of The Nutcracker by The Atlanta Ballet. First off, the structure and design of this building is beautiful and has a historic feel. If you pay for parking, the Red Lot, which is actually a garage, is at 730 Peachtree, about 1/4 a mile from the theater. You'll see a huge sign with the 730 address, but make sure you turn in before the sign if your coming from the opposite side of the street. It is so nice to see people still getting dressed up for a semi formal affair! Ladies in their dresses, men in their ties, and of course this probably depends on what kind of event you're attending.
I heard there are "no bad seats in the house", but let me tell you, there are! That comment is for reasonable people and not tightwad bargain shoppers like myself, because of course I got the $25 student ticket and was seated on the far right front end and couldn't see 50% of the stage or the dancers' feet. I'm sure it was a beautiful performance. If you're going to go on a night out to a concert or show, just go ahead and get the mid range to high end seats so you won't be disappointed. -

Saw the Nutcracker there this past Christmas! Wonderful job, and stunning decor! The ceiling looks like a night sky, and the organ rose out of the orchestra pit and a snazzy elderly man played us Christmas carols. It was delightful!

Fantastic! I have been here twice when I was in grade school, but this was my first time as an adult. Lesley and I headed down here to see the Atlanta Ballet's Nutcracker performance. It was excellent. I don't remember this in the past, but during the Waltz of the Snowflakes scene I noticed my head getting wet. I looked up and it was snowing bubble-snowflakes.
The staff made it very easy to get in and find our seats. Even the parking team did a great job helping us park quickly.
I plan to go back. -

I love the Fox Theatre. I true gem of Atlanta and really a beautiful place. It's not too big or too small; it's the perfect venue in my opinion for a concert or a show. If I understand correctly the ladies' bathroom upstairs houses a replica of KIng Tut's tomb. It is beautiful. In fact, the structural details all around the Fox are quite facinating to look at.
The sound is awesome here and you know upon entering that you are someplace very special.
I hate the parking situation downtown with all its high cost, but hey I need to accept it as a reality at this point.
Anyway, I truly appreciate the Fox Theatre and I will return over and over again. -

Of all the theaters I have visited in the world, this is my favorite. It is a step back in time and it is surreal. It is such an elegant and beautiful theater. You just have to visit the theater to understand its beauty.
Every show I have seen at this theater (from REM to Johnny Mathis) has been an incredibly memorable and magical experience. I attribute this to the great acoustics and magical decor. -

What's not to love? The performances are great, but even if you're only looking around, this place is amazing. I saw Wicked there last night, and while I'm sure it's an amazing experience on Broadway, I like to think that the twinkling stars and flying carpets of the Fox made it even more appropriately magical.
One of my favorite ongoing events is the Coca Cola summer film series, which shows classics and summer blockbusters for about the same price as an other movie theater. Before each movie, there's a sing-a-long with Mighty Mo, the organ. It's particularly awesome for seeing Gone With the Wind, for which there is reserved seating.
You might think that an old theater would be a pain when it comes to amenities, but they've got enough bathrooms that even when the lines look daunting, they move quite quickly. Also, there are ushers everywhere, happy to answer your questions and point you in the right direction.
Speaking of ushers, the folks in white shirts and dark pants (not the fancy uniforms) are volunteers. It's a great way to see all the shows, without having to fork over massive cash. It's been a while since I looked into it, but it didn't require all that much training, and they have so many events that they were always looking for people.
As some of the other reviews mention, it's quite historic, and definitely worth taking a tour to see and learn more.

I have only been to the Fox twice, and both times, were amazing.
The first time, was a few years back, when we were luckily to have our senior prom there, and the decor was beautiful. I've attended all 4 years of prom in high school, where it was held at the decatur court house, and turner field 755 club box, and i assure you, that no matter how beautiful an empty baseball field truly is at night, with that significant other, it DOES NOT beat the Fox.
The second time I went was just yesterday, when my boyfriend and I went to go see Wicked's last show in Atlanta, and it was still amazing. Wicked in generally is an amazing musical, if you're into the broadway kind of stuff. I grew up acting in musicals, so it was something I'd truly enjoy, whereas, if you're not in that kind of stuff, I suppose it could get kind of boring. But the Fox Theatre was a great place to have it.
The parking is expensive if you want to park right next to it or right across the street from it. It was $20 to park there, but if you didn't mind walking a block down to the next street, which was roughly a less than 5 min. walk, parking was only $12, which easy entrance and exit out, and it was right down the road from 75/85.
I definitely recommend coming here whether it's a date night out with your S.O. or a school event like Prom. This place is just amazingly beautiful, and well worth it. -

The Fox Theatre is really as good as it gets when it comes to an old fashioned venue. It's beautiful inside and actually has some decent sound.

Magnificent. Beautiful. And I don't think there's a bad seat in the house.
Well organized bathrooms with ushers for the ladies during intermission. If you're a lady you know it's a pain in the butt to go to the bathroom at intermission. -

There really is no bad seat here and the building itself is amazing. We got to tour the theatre during Yelp's Culture Club and last week I saw Kylie Minogue here. Of course, that's on top of all the other performances I've attended including those times when I was a high school dork as a volunteer usher.
I'd encourage you to take one of the tours conducted by the Atlanta Preservation Center. Ask for Howard. He's awesome. Also, if you're coming here for a concert the upper level has the best sound and great views (per Howard).
Concessions are readily available and the aisles are set-up as to not disturb anyone in case you need to make a quick break in the middle of a show. Plus there are bathrooms everywhere. Dramatic looking bathrooms, by the way.Listed in: Welcome to Atlanta, Y'all!

The Fox Theatre opened as a sophisticated movie palace in 1929 (hello, Great Depression) and has evolved into a beautiful performing arts venue. I've seen Big (a hip hop ballet featuring Big Boi from Outkast) and STOMP (a wordless, rhythmic performance) here, and every time I step foot in the Fox, I feel proud to call Atlanta my home. The theatre is wonderfully preserved, and each experience is a delight. Here are a bunch of things that I learned during a Yelp sponsored tour:
*Average 325 shows per year
*Over 1m people visit each year
*A hospital clinic was required at one time and you can see the word "hospital" on one of the doors downstairs. They are going to restore their clinic once they raise enough funds to do so.
*The balcony lowers three inches at full capacity.
*Two bars were added to the mezzanine by the Australians during the '96 Olympics.
*Concession sales are important! During a weekend of Widespread Panic shows, they did 210k in concession sales.
*There is a piece of a Coke bottle in one of the stars on the ceiling. Check out the gorgeous night sky next time you visit!
The Atlanta Preservation Center offers tours, so check out their website for more information. I would love to go on a longer tour at some point to learn more about the Fox's interesting history. If you're in town, I highly recommend going to see a show at the Fox. It lends itself to a memorable date night- park in one of the "pay to park" spots, grab a drink before the show, and get dinner after the show!Listed in: 36 Hours in Atlanta

Came here to see In the Heights and the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater (both shows are AMAZING, if you get the chance, they're must-sees). This place is beautiful, and we had great seats, but, still, I'm not sure it would even matter because the place just has great acoustics and the lighting is so awesome.
I really loved this place, mostly because it felt like it had so much history, especially in the architecture. Awesome. -

I used to be a season ticket holder at the Fox but it is a shame I am not anymore (my schedule prevents me from making the trip).
A beautiful building with lots of history, this is THE place in Atlanta to see a play.
Also in the summertime, they bring out a big movie screen and you can watch movies for cheap on it- definitely a great experience!
I think my favorite is to come during the holidays to watch The Nutcracker.
The balcony is nice if you have great vision, and pretty much any seat is a good seat.
The bathrooms are great too! I mean, they are "lounges", excuse me!
The Egyptian Ballroom is also legendary for having get togethers!
I highly recomend trying to get a tour of the theater if you have the time/money. -

I think quirky has to be the word I use to describe this theater. A few friends and I came here to watch Shrek the Musical the other night. There were a ton of people - it was a packed show, but the ushers were awesome at getting everyone to their seats. The theater is on the smaller side (in comparison to some of the NY broadway theaters) but I think it makes for more good seats in the house. Looking at the events calendar for the year it certainly seems like there is a good selection of musicals, concerts and other events at this location. There is also an extensive consession, and a movie theater as well.
Parking can be expensive in the area, but not too hard to find with all the paid lots within walking distance. Bonus for the extensive food options in the area. -

Such an iconic Atlanta venue. I grew up visiting the Fox, and of all the venues in the city, it is my favorite. There is not a bad seat in the house. My most recent visit was to see Wicked, and the already amazing show is made even better by the wonderful atmosphere.I love how they light up the marquis on Peachtree Street in the brightest green. It is also so fun to see movies here on the big screen. Shows always start out music from the Might Mo pipe organ, which is just cool. Step across the street to The Livingston for a cocktail before or after (or both) your show.

I wouldn't normally review something as standard as The Fox, but I have to jump in to make a note about their wine tastings and summer movie series. When I heard about these, I thought, "Why would I pay $20 to drink a shot glass of wine and see a movie that already left the theaters?" But I'll admit the mistake in my quick judgment. I judged the Fox by its cover.
I won tickets to The Social Network on Twitter and thought I'd check it out with a friend - hey, cant beat free. Well, let me tell you - this isn't your average wine tasting event. Sure, you have tiny glasses and basic bottles of wine, but the food spread is INCREDIBLE. At least 20 kinds of cheeses, meats, olives, breads, dessert items, fruits, and more. It was like crashing a wedding reception without seating (the only real minus of the night).
We were so impressed, my friend and I decided to go back for the Bridesmaids screening this evening... and I've already seen the movie. $20 for basically a small dinner, drinks, and a film? I'm sold. -

Adding one star because Fox responded to our letter and provided tickets for another performance. They also promised to speak with the ushers to resolve that procedural problem. However, they don't get credit for stating that the program gives a different policy than what they'd published publicly. You don't get notified of the policy change until AFTER you've paid your money and are walking in the door, so small print buried in the program is NOT advance or sufficient notice.

This and Chastain Park are my top two favourite concert venues for the Atlanta area. I've only ever been here for concerts (Further and Kylie Minogue, both in 2011) and am fascinated with it. They don't call it The Fabulous Fox for nothin' -- kinda reminds you of back in the day when going to a theater was really special and everyone got all gussied up...
Anyway, as most other reviews mention, customer service here is generally really awesome. Yes, prices here can be a touch higher than other venues. Then again, if you're at Aarons Amphitheater you're going to pay $11 for a Bud Light tall can. I'd much rather pay the same for a martini in a real glass from a real bartender at the Fox! And yes, the concession stand offers a lot of options.
If you get there early enough, take a walk through the entire theater, go up to the top floor and check out everything -- it's really cool to see the whole place. PS - top floor VERY back wall has a bathroom in the center of the floor, last time I was there it was deserted so maybe it's a perfect find? You can also see from the very top that it's hard to get a bad seat in the house.
Parking around the theater is relatively easy. Drive one loop around a three-block radius of the Fox and you'll find tons of lots. Most are $5-10 bucks, yes, bring cash, duh. The theater has A/C but for a busy concert, that doesn't really matter in the summer (can't attest to how warm it is in the wintertime yet).
There is also a bar/restaurant right next door and another across the street, so it's convenient to grab a drink and a bite before the show if you're interested in stopping somewhere that's right there in walking distance. -

I HATE PLAYS!!! I just felt that I would start out with that statement out the gate. With that being said I loved the Fox Theatre. I am not the biggest fan of Mannheim Steamroller but I got the tickets for my girlfriend for Christmas and we had a wonderful time. There is nothing like the acoustics of this building along with the allure that you get when you see the old walls and the starlight ceiling.
I will probably have to make a trip to see some plays here because as most people know the woman makes the decisions in the relationship most of the time and for the most part if it is at this venue it will be more entertaining no matter the subject matter.
I highly recommend this venue for concerts as this is all I have been to but I will update this listing once I get dragged to a play with the perception of kicking and screaming but the internal feeling that I will enjoy it despite my better judgement because this venue is magical. Recommend it highly. -

I have been to The Fox on 2 occasions, and both were amazing. Both instances were for theater performance (not concerts) and I was not disappointed. The atmosphere is eclectic and seats are comfortable. The ushers to a great job of helping you find you seat and are courteous. The interior decor is beautiful, I wish they allowed photography. There is always good selection of events and I don't mind spending extra for better seating for big performances (i.e. WICKED!). The theater itself is on the small side but I like that and I also like that you can choose to come dressy or casually elegant and not feel out of place.

Oh, the Fabulous Fox...how I love thee. From the first time I walked into this gorgeous building...I knew that this would be one of my favorite places in Atlanta. It's hard to put into words how beautiful this theater. I honestly feel, as if, I've stepped back in time whenever I walk through their doors. So many great people/groups have performed here...you can feel that history.
A few things to note...
* Concessions are pretty good here...variety of food and drinks, as well as two large bars. They also sell coffee drinks, which is a bonus if you have a boyfriend who loves espresso like mine.
* The ceiling of the theater...there are no words how beautiful it is. It's a beautiful night sky...just lovely.
* Bathroom lines can tend to be long...so I suggest sneaking out a few moments before intermission to go.
* The Fox website has a feature when purchasing tickets where you are able to see the actual view of the stage of where your seat will be. It's pretty cool. I honestly don't think there is a bad seat in the house though. I've been close to the stage and far back in the balcony and have enjoyed every show.
I've seen such a variety of shows here. To name a few...Oklahoma, Wicked, Cats, Phantom (traveling Broadway), My Morning Jacket, Widespread Panic, Stomp (musical shows), Alvin Ailey (dance) and a bunch of Atlanta Ballet shows (Nutcracker, Romeo & Juliet, Swan Lake).
Bottom-line - everyone (artists, comedians, dance companies) want to perform on this stage. There's nothing better than that.
Ok...sometimes ticket prices can be a tad high, but if your resourceful...you can find discounted nights for most shows. Or...you can always go to a matinee...they tend to be lower.
Overall...if you have never experienced this magical place...I highly suggest to buy tickets for the next show they have. I promise you'll back again soon. -

The Fox is simply the greatest venue for anything I have ever been to. I've been coming here since 1984 and have seen everything fom Iron Maiden to Phantom of the Opera to STOMP (9 times) to Blue Man Group to a movie screening to closed circuit fights on the big screen. I never get tired of coming here. I love everything about this amazing place.
Just remember; don't call someone you knew 17 years ago from one of the courtesy phones in the lounge. The psycho bitch might get angry and try to get you into trouble.

I last was at the Fox almost 15 years ago and just vaguely remember the experience, so it was a nice refresher this weekend to go back in the daytime, sober, and see it all again. Took my lady to see Wicked and got all dressed up for it, so it felt really 'upscale' for me going in. Cool stuff.
Parking blows. The closest lot wants $25 which is just a lot of money I think, lots farther can be as low as $10 but you'll walk a good bit. We settled on $15 and walked a block and a half, but I still feel I paid too much. Oh well. The building is a historic landmark and no one really needs to hear all that unless they just crawled out from under a rock, but it is very Old World feeling and super nice inside. Employees are well trained to keep crowds moving along which is good, and the seating arrangement isn't overly confusing for those who take a stab at it without assistance. I didn't try the concessions but I assume they're expensive. Have to be really.
Restroom access is a level below and I'll admit, in a big presentation like Wicked you'll be damned to get down there and finish in the short intermission they provided. It was like herding cattle through a single gate and none of the cattle were very friendly about it. Not the Fox's fault for selling out, but it'd be nice to have a few more routes on hand. If there ever was a fire the panic alone would leave most everyone trampled and dead.
My only real gripe, and nothing to do with the Theatre itself, is the scores of people who showed up late and hustled in during the performance. I wouldn't have ever imagined 30% of the attendees would be up to 20 minutes late for a show. That alone loses a star because I was seriously pissed to see groups come in at every 'break' in the play.
Oh well. Still had a great time. -

Hands down the most beautiful venue i've ever been to. The architecture is gorgeous and elegant. Also, the Fox always holds the best plays and performances. The theater has several rooms all with a name where you can plan private parties and functions, each room has a different personality. The drinks are pricey but what else would you expect by such an elegant venue?

I love the Fox. It's such a beautiful place, and it's always awesome to take a guest who has never been so they can ooooh and aaaah at the place. We went to go see STOMP this past Saturday night and it was an excellent production. We sat down at the lower orchestra level, where ANYone over 5'10" should sit, as your knees will be resting against the back of the chair in front of you if you sit in the balcony.
If you can swing it, i'd almost suggest staying put when your show is done. The crowd rush is crazy for one, and since no photography is allowed, it's an excellent opportunity to take photos of the stage and your surroundings while everyone is clawing to get out of the theater.
A bit of advice: Don't bother ordering your parking tickets in advance. You can spend all night looking for the red lot like we did, or simply drive up to one of the closer lots and pay up front, like we ultimately had to.
Any minor gripes aside, this is the Fabulous Fox and it's a gorgeous building and every show you see is that much more special when it's here. Enjoy! -

I can't really say much about this place that (so many) others have already said, so I'll try to sum up our experience here. My wife and I came here last night to see the Blue Man Group, and absolutely loved the show and the theater.
I'll start by saying that I love the character of this place -- you can tell that they work hard to allow this place to maintain it's unique style. Comparing it to a place like the Cobb Energy Center -- which is beautiful in its own way, but has a much more 'generically beautiful' feel to it -- the Fox is just a classy place. From the architecture, to the decorations, to the way that the employees dress, you really do feel like you're stepping into a whole different era, and world.
The acoustics were really good (I never once had difficulty hearing any part of the entire show), but I would complain that I could hear quite a bit of reverberation during the louder moments of the show. It was loud enough that I noticed it, but not so much that it detracted from the show in any meaningful way.
They have a good selection of food and drinks. I did not partake because of the 'slight' markup in prices -- I refuse to go out and spend more on food / drinks than I did on the tickets themselves! But the options are there, and seem plentiful.
My only real complaints were that: (1) I wish the main floor had more of a slope than it does right now. It wasn't a huge problem, but I do like a place that eliminates any issues of seeing over the people in front of you. (2) Some parts are in need of renovation -- seats, I'm looking at you! Before the show had started, my wife pointed out that so many of the seats were in pretty bad shape. Not five minutes later, a seat two down from my wife simply broke while the person was sitting in it. Lucky for them as they ended up with better seats, but it did go along with the perception of the seats needing some work.
Overall, a great experience from a great theater. I can't wait to come back and see another show here! -

We went to ATL for a 4 day weekend from Orlando to see Old Crow Medicine Show and John Prine at the Fox, and man was it worth it.
First, the Fox is incredible inside. It feels as if you are sitting outside watching amazing music. The sound was great, and our seats on the balcony, 2nd row were great too.
The only complaint I had, is I took a picture, then QUICKLY found out there was no photographs allowed. Ok, no big deal, I put my camea away. About thirty mins later someone walks down the aisle, standing up, and takes about 3 pictures (with flash) and no one said anything to her. I at least was in my seat not standing up bothering anyone. That upset me, but it was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. -

There is nothing quite like a visit to the Fox Theatre. From its one-of-a kind interior to the quality of its performers, the venue provides a first-rate entertainment experience. You will enjoy music concerts, theatrical productions, comedy performances and many other types of shows in an intimate and classy setting. It's worth the money every time.

Beautiful building, great acoustics. I won't repeat what others have reviewed, but here are my suggestions:
1. Sit in the balcony. The seats are too far back to see very well.
2. If you're cheap, like me, sneak in your own booze. They don't check bags and believe me, you don't want to end up paying $100 for drinks at a show because the opening band was actually a double headliner and you're stuck and can't leave and come back in.
3. Look up! The stars on the ceiling are AMAZING!!! -

Went her to see Drake so it was a rowdy crowd to begin with which I knew and was prepared for. What I wasn't prepared for was the ushers allowing people to break fire code.
I was four seats in on my row and a group of people with their friends managed to fit 8 people next to me. Not only did they constantly try to take my seat and in fact had successfully managed to push me into the seat next to mine. They also completely blocked the walkway. My theory is if they wanted to all be together they should have bought tickets next to each other.
When I went to get the usher he didn't even do anything. He went back to watching the show and completely ignored the situation.
This would be a great venue but not one for a rap concert. The concert was awesome and the sound was great but the staff totally ruined the whole experience. -

I would love to give the Fox 5 stars, but we didn't actually see our show inside of it. I went to the Fox to see 360 Entertainment's "Peter Pan," which is set up in an outside tent.
My company and I had an amazing time. Staff (I'm assuming from the Fox) were fantastic and courteous. Everything was kept very clean and well organized. We did not have a problem parking at all, and despite construction, managed to navigate easily through the city afterwards.
I hope to review the Fox again after another upcoming show so that I can remark on the actual interior of the location. -

Great place for concerts and plays. A beautiful place with a lot of Atlanta history. I would recommend the balcony if possible. I purchased expensive tickets down front and stood for most of the show because a couple people down front wanted to dance which caused the people behind them to stand in order to see the show and from there it was a chain reaction.
