Alda Blakeney WrightFebruary 11, 2016This is a beautiful venue & there is not a bad seat in the house.
Karen EstradaJuly 9, 2014Plan 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.
Hotel IndigoApril 24, 2013No 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

The best venue for special dates or watching treasured movies during certain times of the year- The Ritz-CarltonDecember 12, 2016Immerse yourself in the holiday spirit with a special showing of The Nutcracker at The Fox Theater through December 24.

Not a bad seat in the house. If you have the time I would suggest taking the behind the scenes tour. Lots of history with this building.
Mick H.December 29, 2012The Fox Theatre tour is pretty interesting. If you like the building, be sure to take the tour.
Paula MadeiraJune 19, 2017So so amazing!!! The inside is extremely beautiful and to watch a play here is something else, I highly recommend it!
Take a tour, see a play, attend a concert, have an event, any reason to go to the Fox is a good one! A true Atlanta treasure!
Joseph BossoFebruary 26, 2019Wonderful Theater. I really like it. This theater play opera game and some french comedy as well.
Steve MokJanuary 30, 2014Their 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
Atlanta MeetingsJuly 29, 2013Designed in the late 1920s, The Fox Theatre presents shows by Broadway in Atlanta and Theater of the Stars, as well as a summer movie series.
Nice theatre I must admit. I saw the Opera Play here and Some French Comedy as well. Both times I really enjoyed myself. Great staple in Atlanta.

ScoutmobNovember 29, 2011The 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.
Meghana BendreJune 23, 2012Beautiful theatre. Take the time to just look around before a show. Make sure to walk towards the stage and look up.

MoniqueMarch 19, 2012Always 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.
christy drawdyJuly 25, 2017Using metal detector now.No guns mace or knives... disagree w/ no mace especially as a woman walking in Atlanta.homeless people walk right up to you after a show, so be alert. They should stop this.
DebbieJune 5, 2010Who doesn't love to spend time in this magnificent facility? One tip for summer film festival goers: No need to buy tickets in advance. You will pay $4 overhead for open seating, so just buy your tick- AtlantaJanuary 26, 2012The Fox Theatre has been an Atlanta landmark since 1929. Its opulent auditorium is designed to mimic an Arabian courtyard, complete with 96 embedded crystal "stars."
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.
Tickets for the Fox Theatre can be purchased through Ticket Alternative at 15 metro-Atlanta locations including Whole Foods Market, Criminal Records, Decatur CD, Fantasyland Records and CD Warehouse.
- ScoutmobNovember 29, 2011Up on the starry ceiling-sky of the Fox Theatre, one of those shiny little lights is actually made from a Coke bottle.
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.- ScoutmobNovember 28, 2011"The Cockroaches" tix were released to a line at the box office for a just-announced Rolling Stones concert. The Stones ended up playing to a confused crowd of 4,000 on their "Some Girls" tour in '78
- SPECTACULARLY FABULOUS VENUE. A graceful and splendid Grande Dame, capture every moment possible here. Theater, Ballet, Cincerts, Mivues...wherever. It's perfect here.
Found great parking right at Ponce De Leon (just south of venue) - you can't beat close event parking for $15
Broadway in Atlanta season tickets. Totally worth it if you're a theater geek.
