- L T60 contributionsExcellent Restored and Beautiful theatre in downtown AtlantaBeautiful and restored Fox Theatre in downtown Atlanta, Ga. You feel like you are in an open-air theatre with the huge stone walls, Persian runs, chandeliers, and balconies. The ceiling blue to resemble the night sky complete with clouds and stars. Great venue for shows and concerts. Worth a visit!Visited June 2023Traveled with familyWritten November 27, 2023
- GoVols79Chattanooga, Tennessee3,865 contributionsFox TheatreWe saw Shrek the Musical for our first event at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. The midtown area has many restaurants nearby to enjoy before or after. We parked in the purple lot in the Coda building which is the furthest away of the Fox lots. We did not reserve ahead of time as the show was not full and paid the attendant at the gate. This lot was cheaper but also felt safe in a nice building. The theatre is amazing with the blue roof that feels like the night sky. Our seats were about midway up the upper seating area and gave a great view of the stage. It was easy to navigate and we look forward to visiting again in the future.Visited April 2024Traveled with familyWritten April 20, 2024
- Helen711Atlanta, Georgia1,715 contributionsBeautiful retro (1920's) Theatre. Check out the ceiling!Went on Sunday afternoon to see the movie Casa Blanca. The theater was clean, carpets not worn, and definitely a 1920's vibe and decor. Open seating for this event, which was great! My only issue was that I paid $13 to park in the gold lot (600 Peachtree St. NE), which was about 2 blocks away. I didn't know that it was underground parking for a bank! I drove past the entrance and had to circle back, which wasn't easy because of one-way streets. The sign for Gold Parking was sideways at the bottom of the ramp so it couldn't be seen from the street. I got a beep when I showed my QR code, but nothing happened. I pushed the button for a ticket and the gate opened. I thought I'd have to pay again when I left but that wasn't the case, thank goodness! I could have parked at a public lot for less hassle and less money on a Sunday afternoon.Visited August 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 27, 2024

We've been season ticket holders of the Broadway performances for years and starting to question renewing next year for the first time. The sound system is just AWFUL!!!! Both "Wicked," "Cats" and "The Band's Visit" had massive sound problems that detract terribly from the performance. Whether it's the traveling company or Fox system - please, please, please get this fixed!!!!

Had the privilege of seeing Vince Gill and the Eagles here last year. The interior was a well preserved grand hall from the past, but the piece de resistance was the ceiling that was curved and painted to give the illusion that you were outside. It was a very peasant phenomenon, that words don't do justice! Have tried to return for another show but the billing has met my liking, seems to cater to up and coming bands, etc.
There are many nice restaurants within walking distance. If you go, try to sat a night or two at Stonehurst B and B nearby. Also near the Aquarium and the Civil rights museum...

Many grand international cities have historic theatres unique for something - accoustics, architecture on inside or outside, multiple uses other than as theatres during their lives, historical performances, etc. The Fox is one of these theatres. The Fox is sometimes confused as the theatre hosting the premier of Gone with the Wind (it was actually premiered in globally in Atlanta in the now torn-down Loew's theatre). However, the Fox has hosted many stage shows, live theatre, Broadway productions, and concerts over its many years. It was opened only 2 months after the 1929 stock market crash and closed 125 weeks later, but eventually re-opened and refurbished. Great place to attend any event on the calendar.

The Fox Theatre in Atlanta is one of the most beautiful theaters in the world to me. The acoustics and the seating are top notch. The events manager consistently fills the Fox with a wide variety of events and shows that appeal to the greater community of Atlanta as well as drawing folks from the greater region of the Southeast.
The theater is kept clean and the furnishings and artifacts preserved beautifully. Unfortunately the tour leaves a bit to be desired mainly, I believe, because the particular tour guide I had was not as proficient in the history of the theater as she could have been. But the tour still afforded a nice overview of all of the rooms and parts of this unique one-of-a-kind theater. Thank you to the preservationists who saw the beauty in The Fox and saved it for the rest of us to enjoy!

Gorgeous but our there needs to be better sound coordination between the local and band sound techs for rock shows.
Fox Theater is a visual spectacle.
B-52s Farewell Tour and KC and the Sunshine Band
Perhaps each exhorbantly priced soft drink should come with a pair of ear plugs for concerts.
We sat Orchestra, Row W and the music was drowned out by the auditory clash.
The sound was so bad that people left. One woman was playing Solitaire during B-52s. So many people were covering their ears. We tore up face masks as makeshift earplugs.
My ears are still ringing.
The bass was so strong, it reverbed against our bodies. My chest hurt when we left.

Attended a "Little Big Town " concert Saturday night and was reminded how special The Fox is. I lived here in the 70's when it was almost demolished. I got to know a few who helped restore it and have been to many concerts like Grateful Dead, Jackson Brown and even a boxing match over the years. It is a very well run venue with everything under control. It is clean and accommodating for any event.

The Fox is a great experience for all ages. Knowing you go into a building with so much history (it’s literally a historic landmark!), is amazing. The staff was welcoming and helpful, the theatre itself is unique and love every minute of being there, whether for a private event, tour or a show!!!

The auditorium represents a moorish skyline including an arched bridge across the front of the ceiling and a starry night. The lounges are decorated in an Egyptian motif and it is all maintained in an immaculate state. An Atlanta icon.

The “Fabulous” Fox theater is an Atlanta landmark. It was almost torn down some years ago but Atlantans fought to save. When you enter, you’ll see why. The whole theater has an Arabian Nights theme with many details such as the custom made carpeting and the decor in the restroom. The auditorium is amazing. It is designed so that you think you are outside under the night sky with twinkling stars. We saw Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Great show, which included two of their signature pieces, Cry, and Revelations, plus some newer works. All the seats are good, with unobstructed views. The acoustics are also great. The only catch is that there is not enough leg room between rows. If you are y’all, be sure to get an aisle seat.

A great place to see a show or movie. The theater is like entering a dream. You look up and you see a ceiling that looks like a sky with stars.
They also have themed conference rooms for events such as weddings, social events, and other business or Civic gatherings.
They also offer Broadway style shows in the main theater, throughout the year.
if you're visiting Atlanta or live in Atlanta, the Fox Theater is a must-see for anyone who wants to enjoy a wonderful experience and be amazed at the beautiful architecture of this Atlanta icons!

I am going to the Fox for the first time and was wondering what is best for parking? Do they offer valet, and is there anything I should know about valet? Also, do they have elevators and stairs to get to the different levels?
Written July 14, 2023
I did not drive to the theater . I took an Uber.
There is a small parking lot right next to the theater on Peachtree Street with an attendant. I do not know the price for parking there.
There is also a parking deck one block north of Peachtree Street and a short walk to the theater.
I did not see an elevator inside the theater but there are stairs to get to the different levels.

I am going to see Wicked tonight, It is an 8:00 show. Would I be out of place wearing a nice top and a pair of slacks. I bought a dress to wear but am just not convinced it is what I should wear.

What is the best way to get a bargain on tickets for Wicked? I'm seeing them for two and three hundred dollars. Is that typical? Surely there is some secret to finding a great deal!! I so want to take my granddaughter and daughter before it leaves Atlanta.

I think that if you buy directly from Fox it can be cheaper.

Behind loge in the balcony has the lowest priced seats. This is called First Dress Circle. Orchestra on main floor from AA toward the back Center has great prices as well. Enjoy!!!

Has anyone been to the Marquee Club (upstairs) before an event at The Fox Theatre? Is it worth the price? How was the food, service, and atmosphere?
Written October 25, 2018
Loved it. Wonderful food in a relaxing atmosphere. The drinks are pretty expensive, however. We drove 2.5 hours to get to our show, so we welcomed the comfort of the club.
