    Pretty much anything playing here, from film festivals to traveling Broadway shows, concerts & The Nutcracker, is great. The building itself is magnificent inside and out. See what's playing & go!

    One of a dwindling number of vintage movie palaces in the nation, the Fox was built in 1929 in a fabulous Moorish-Egyptian style. It's crowning glory is its ceiling, complete with moving clouds. Read more

    Who doesn't love to invest energy in this superb facility? One tip for summer film celebration goers: No compelling reason to purchase tickets ahead of time. You will pay $4 overhead for open seating,

    Plan where you will park before going and allow extra time. If you're planning to park nearby it will be difficult to move at the traffic lights when all the people are walking to the theater too.

    No matter what you love, there’s a performance at this beloved landmark. After the show, stop by our hotel’s café to see framed photos of the graffiti from the walls of the theatre’s projection room. Read more

    Their weather policy puts their bottomline ahead of the guests' safety. Cancelling 1 hour before the show during Snow Jam 2014, after saying show will go on, NO refund all day. Friend got in accident

    The Lynyrd Skynyrd album 'One More From The Road' was recorded at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in July of 1976. It was recorded as an effort to help save the Fox. Looks like it was a success.

    Always always always buy the parking pass when you get your tickets. It will save you from spending a crazy amount when you get there and parking far away.

    Sit in the upper balcony for Phantom. He runs right in front of you. Sit on the front 4 rows for snow during the Nutcracker Ballet. Visit the summer theater series for the organ rising from the floor.

    Use Ticketmaster's new "choose your seats" option and opt for THE AISLE SEAT! Especially if you're a big girl. It can get sort of cramped and hot in there.
