Living in Atlanta, i have frequented the Fox seveal times. it's a beautiful theater located by a MARTA train station and several restaurants. The accoustics are excellent, and the theater brings in big musicals (Wicked, Chicago, Color Purple, etc) along with comedians and other acts. more

Love the Fox for the architecture, atmosphere, friendly staff, and the "Mighty Mo" organ that plays before each performance. Tips: Recommend Loge seating if available (1st six rows in Balcony). Good view, and the seats are well cushioned and roomy. If you can pick your day, Sundays performances are great due to much less traffic downtown and easier access to... more

We recently attended the Denis Leary Rescue Me Comedy Tour at the Historic Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia. The Show was Excellent, the Theatre reminiscent of another historic theatre in my hometown. The service (ushers/staff) was courteous and helpful. We sat in the "pit" and couldn't ask for better seats. Would recommend for this type of show. more

The Atlanta Preservation Center gives tours of this theater (and other places) for $10 and it is so worth it. Info at: http://preserveatlanta.com/walkingtours.htm#Fox%20Theatre The Fox is much more than "a nice old theater". The interior is a serious of optical illusions (not the least of which is a ceiling in the theater that has a blue sky and clouds that... more

While venue is fantastic, its management isn't. I have been in two event's lately (both spectacular performers Aretha Franklin and Alvin Ailey Dance Company), sadly both performances started late. Even worst for seated live performance event and top theater venue in Atlanta, latecomers were allowed in AFTER show starts and throughout whole performance. Needles to say, I missed very beginning... more

Going to a show at the Fox is like stepping back in time to the Golden Era of stage and live theatre. The building itself is amazingly restored venue that reflects a day gone by when theatres were places to be experienced. Its worth a visit just to experience the atmosphere. Save yourself the the hassle of parking when you... more

This has nothing to do w/ the theatre itself but make sure you take MARTA otherwise the traffic is awful. As for the theatre it was very pretty, but I have been to similiar theatres so I guess I was expecting something more. Definitely beautiful indeed. more

I always check the schedule at the Fox when planning a trip to Atlanta. The theater is beautiful inside and out. You really feel as you are outside because the ceiling is painted like a night sky complete with twinkling stars. I saw the play "Love in the Nick of Tyme". The story was about a middle aged lady who... more

This was fascinating. There is so much history within the building, and after you tour it, you will certainly want to see a performance there. Our tickets were $10 each, and I don't regret it. Seniors, students with ID, or Atlanta Preservation members get the tour for only $5. The tour took two hours, there are several flights of stairs,... more
