Had seats in a suite which included our dinner. Great suite attendant. Very overpriced drinks. Paid almost $7 for one bottle of beer. Suite 6 is a little off to the right of the stage but still great area to sit.

The venue is absolutely beautiful. Very ornate details make this a gem in the heart of Detroit. My experience with this venue for most recently, 2 concerts, the acoustics are great, the inside decor is beautiful and in general, this is a grand entertainment place. Parking was not a problem. We secured our parking spot when we purchased the event... More

The Fox Theater is a great venue for Broadway shows, comedians, and anything from small bands to large orchestras.

As a theatre teacher I've been to theatres all over the US and the world for that matter and beside maybe the Paris Opera House the Fox is my favorite. The beauty, uniqueness and details of this building are second to none. I feel like every time I go, it is an Experience. Make sure to take time to go... More

Memories echo around the fox. Yet still creating new ones .. Top notch beauty and venue on par with most great movie houses. Downsides of course are its age / set up for MOVIES, not full blown racaous concerts

Went her to see the Beatles/Rain and there are no words to describe how beautiful this place really is. A historic building that you have to see, especially the ceiling.
