Their are other Fox Theatre's across the US, but none of them come close to Detroit's! Yes for all the bad press the Motor City gets it's too bad- the Detroit Fox is a must see for theatre and history buffs. More

Spectacular - if you are looking at Detroit architecture - check this place out, the Guardian Bldg, the Fisher and even the Ren Cen for some contrast. Beautiful place to see a show!! Old world fantasy. More

What a beautiful step back in time theater. Incredibly decorated, comfortable, and really reveals the luxury of the 1920's it was well worth the admission to see the inside of the Fox, although the play was excellent as well. More

The building is gorgeous. Shows are very hit and miss. Mean security guards. You have to pass through a metal detector. Follow me on Twitter at #Hartforth and I'll notify you of the best of the best. More
