Fox is from the old times when there was glory and splendor. In a renovation started by a group in 1970's, it is being revived. It began in 1920's by Shriner's as a temple. With the Depression, it closed, then to reopen as a theater in 1940's and that lasted until 1960's. It had 4,000 seats, so it was not competing well with suburban theaters. The area also was in severe decline. When the city/developers wanted to tear it down, a waive of revival started in 1976. By 1987, it was getting back in shape and today features shows for the public to match any around. Like about 15 others around the county, it is great USA heritage of a bygone era.

The Fox Theater is beautiful. I've had two Fall Formals there and have also seen a couple movies in the big theater. Typically it's used to put on big live productions, but they had a showing of both Kill Bills so of course I had to be there for that. Leave a Comment

In the heart of Peachtree Street uptown is the Fox Theater, which has several nightclubs and restaurants in the immediate area, and Margaret Mitchell's home is just down the street. At this point, Peachtree Street narrows down to a two lane tree lined road, resembling somewhat what it's name implies. The Fox Theater is both great architecture of historical interest and a venue for seeing first class popular music performances. At the time I walked by a car was in the theater lobby and some fellows were discussing the next gig. Leave a Comment

The theatre is just beautiful. If you cannot see a show there at least go by it. You can't miss it. It is a large Arabian building downtown. There is a metro station nearby. Leave a Comment

Very amazing architecture! Egyptian style. Look up. You will see lots of stars in the sky... Looks very natural.
They have many different performances from many countries.
The sound could be better. Leave a Comment

It was build in the early 1920's to be a Shriner's Mosque and the whole design gives the impression of being in a Moorish palace.
The auditorium is cavernous as it can seat over 4,600 people! If you really want to enjoy seeing what's gong on on the stage, buy the more expensive tickets because when you're in the 'cheap seats' everyone looks like ants on the stage.
