    Our wedding was a dream! The Fox was an absolutely beautiful venue and Steve is one of my favorite people. He made the planning process great with his Steve-isms and warmth. Our guests have repeatedly said that it was the best wedding that they've been to from their red carpet treatment, to the pictures and special night out! It hits differently when you look up and see your new name on the marquee and all of your loved ones walking in under the lights. It played so smoothly into our theme of going to a show- A Very Dope Wedding! As you can see from the pictures the venue brought it all to life. Some advice if you book, it was quite expensive. Make sure you ask questions about storage, etc. because you also have to remember that its a landmark venue so there are different rules to be mindful of. Still, it was worth it and helped to make our wedding day so special!

    I went to the Fox Theatre to see Frozen. The show was amazing! I had I great time. The music was great and the view was pretty good. I sat in Row G seat 104. The theatre was clean and they had booster seats for young children. You can order drinks(alcoholic and non-alcoholic), snacks, and popcorn. I purchased a 20 oz bottle of Sprite for $5. Parking is $50 at the theatre but I found parking for $20 not too far from the theatre.

    Girls' night out with my sisters! It's always a good time, and this night was a road trip to Atlanta's Fox thetre to see the Wiz. It was an outstanding cast and performance and a full house. The cast was hilarious, ver comedic in their delivery. The only negative was the late arrivals causing disturbances, a pet peeve of mine. The theatre staff was pleasant and helpful, and it was a good time overall.

    This was my first time here, to see Blue Man Group. I took my 4 year old son. This venue is incredible. I absolutely love the aesthetic and the show was incredible! Every part of the venue was perfection and the staff was everywhere to help and clean up and soooooo friendly. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had, and my son loved it too! Can’t wait to return for more shows.

    Wonderful experience during a comedy show. Very nice staff and it was easy to navigate through, even on a really busy night. They serve drinks (alcoholic and nonalcoholic) and popcorn. I didn’t see other foods but I also didn’t wait in line. The building was clean and they have a smoking area. The surround sound and TV screens were working well and we heard/saw the comedian very clearly. We prepaid parking and it was pretty simple to get to and from our parking space at the venue.

    Great venue! Went to see Jo Koi the comedian and his show was awesome. They had several concession/bars available to beat long lines. The decor was absolutely beautiful. They do have elevator access for the handicapped and this facility was sparkling clean. This theater has a rich history and you can feel it in every room. They have a wide variety of performances here. From plays, comedians and concerts. You are sure to enjoy yourself.

    I had my wedding at Fox Theatre and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I worked with Steve and Ashley who were my saving grace during my stressful planning. They made my planning a lot less stressful with their expertise and ensured that the operation ran smoothly with a large show happening at the same time as my wedding. My guests were treated like VIP superstars from the police stopping traffic, to them walking the red carpet in their black tie attire. I feel like the team went above and beyond to make sure that my wedding day was special. I was happy to take photos in the theatre as well. I would recommend Fox Theatre as an event space to anyone and their staff.

    What a fantastic venue. Just saw Steve Miller here and it was awesome. I have seen the Clash, REM, and George Thorogood here as well. Every seat is great, acoustics are great, staff is top notch j and the theatre is beautiful. Take an elevator ride if you want a treat.

    Part of Atlanta history. It looks small outside of the building since it is located in the middle of the city, but it is actually huge inside. Decoration and sound systems were amazing. I wish they had a better job on carpet maintenance. It smells and worn out, but other pros cover all the cons. There are plenty of paid parking spaces around it, but I recommend you get there 30 mins to an hour early to find a parking spot easy.

    The theatre is beautiful, and the shows are everything you would want. I saw Jesus Christ Superstar from the very back, which is also the very top in this theatre. It was an odd angle, but it was still a good place to be. It’s quite an experience just to walk around the theatre.

    Visited the Fox theatre for a tour of the establishment! It was a great experience learning about how the theatre was built, the struggles it had to withstand over the past 94 yrs and how it has evolved to the mesmerizing place it is today. If you are in Atlanta, this is a must visit! Allen - our tour guide did a wonderful job of making the tour feel extra special. Hoping to catch a show here sometime :)

    We always really enjoyed coming to the Fox Theater. This time we came for the Broadway in Atlanta show Ain’t Too Proud; the Life and Times of the Temptations. The show was fantastic. The seats are a bit cramped and are not the most comfortable, but the shows the theater puts on make it worth it. The staff at the facility are always really nice and ever helpful whenever we come here. The facility looks good, and is kept clean.

    This theater is amazing. Not really any bad seats, unless you sit behind someone tall. I would suggest not to sit passed row w if you are on the bottom floor. Sometimes I wish the audio was a little louder but the sound is crispy and clear. I have seen many shows here and will continue to come back. Staff is nice. Facilities are always clean.

    They were well-organized for this event. You had to show your ID, and Vax card, then go through the medal detectors, then show your ticket. It went surprisingly fast. The vintage look of the theater is amazing. And the seats were very comfortable. I had 2nd row seating.

    We came to town to see the paw patrol tour so you can already assume that I had a child with me. Seats were great, theater was a bit chilly but we knew to plan for that! Restrooms were clean and plenty of staff to help with ALLLLLL the children! Loved this experience and will be back

    Always great to be back at the Fabulous Fox! Fun, friendly staff and sound to behold. Simply one of the best!! Many incredible shows over the years, and another amazing New Years with family and Widespread Panic 🔥🔥🔥🪩🕺!!!! - “May your family share laughter Your songs always play May your wishes come true Even those left unprayed Hand on my shoulder Gentle cloud on the hill May your heart’s doors be open Forever and ever, May your glass be filled” - WSP

    We went here some time ago to see the Grinch musical. The seats were very nice, and even though we weren't every close to the stage, we could see well. The reason it's not 5 stars is just because we didn't enjoy the production very much, but that's just because it wasn't to our taste. This is still a nice place for a family outing or a date night.

    Great historic theater! Small enough that every seat has a great view of the stage. Seats were comfortable and they even sell snacks that you can eat in your seat. Very friendly employees, also, who really made the experience a pleasant one. We loved seeing Hamilton here!

    Lovely theatre, very charming! I saw Hairspray here recently and was amazed at the sheer talent of the dancers/singers. There is not a bad seat in the house. No real food served so popcorn was our dinner (it's tasty) and I recommend the sparkling Moscato highly. Note snacks and drinks are cards only no cash accepted. Unless you are very wealthy avoid the $50 parking right next to theatre. There is much cheaper available if you do not mind a short walk. The immediate area seemed safe to us.

    I saw Seal & The Buggles live last night at the Fox Theatre, and believe it or not being born and raised in Decatur..this was my first experience at the Fox. Completely amazing with rich history. An employee named Gerry took the time to give me the location’s history. If you go, you have to see the ceiling on the top level. What a beautiful place Theatre

    First time at the Fox! Took the wife to see The Nutcracker and the performance was amazing! The dancers were great, the story was pretty easy to follow considering it was ballet, and the sets were absolutely beautiful. The inside of the theater is amazing and one of a kind experience. It's $50 parking at the door but it makes it easy to get out so I do recommend it even though you feel a little jipped initially 😂. Lives up to its reputation!

    I have always wanted to visit the Fox Theater and am so glad to have finally made it there! The entire approach and entrance are absolutely beautiful. I felt like there was so much that needed to be seen before we enjoyed the show that brought us there. It really takes you back in time to imagine all the greats that performed in the theater. The theater which looked like the skies surrounding Alladin's Castle. Aside from the beauty of it all, the ushers were all very helpful and kind, and seemed glad to be there. If you ever get the opportunity to visit and take a look around - do it! You will not be disappointed.

    An absolutely AMAZING venue! It’s absolutely stunning. Every seat offers an excellent view and comfortable seats, leg room and space between people (I’m short and not too wide). Bathrooms on each of the 3 levels. 2 levels of snacks/drinks. Exit on each level directly to the street. Plenty of street parking even when football games are happening at the stadium nearby for as little as $8 a 5 minute walk away. Other lots are $40-100.

    They call it the Fabulous Fox for a reason! After seeing many performances here, we decided to kick off the Halloween season with a ghost tour here. The walking tour was jammed packed with history and tales of reported ghostly sighting as we were led through the nooks and crannies of this gorgeous theater. MVP goes to the ghost of Roosevelt (10/7/23.) One word of caution, avoid the Espresso Martini...it's terribly frightful.

    The Fox is a beautiful old venue immaculately restored. We saw Ringo and his All Starr Band and the show was great. We'll be back!

    We love Myra!! We were welcomed by Marcellus as soon as we arrived, he’s super friendly and welcoming and made us feel we were no strangers. We signed up online for the 10 AM architecture tour and it was the best tour I’ve ever attended. We had a very luxury small tour group of 6, my husband and I, and another lovely family of 4. We are blessed with Myra as our tour guide, and her love for the Fox Theatre passed to us thru her enthusiastic introduction. Our tour supposed to end around 1 hour, but we could never get enough stories from Myra and she literally knows everything about the Fox Theatre. I love her “Ghost Tour” stories and didn’t get to share mine with her (I think that’s too personal and just waste everyone’s time). But I would like to add it here if she’d see it someday - I experienced once that my digital device was abruptly shut off when I was feeling something went wrong and called somebody for help. So when she talked about everything was shut off for no reason, I couldn’t relate more and believed every word she said about her experience. We love you Myra. You made us home even we were just here for the tour. I’m so glad I insisted to bring my husband here with me, I missed my chance to visit the Fox Theatre due to the pandemic in 2021, but here we are. Hopefully we’ll be able to visit again in the future and watch a show here next time. God bless beautiful people like Myra and Marcellus. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    A totally beautiful venue. Nostalgic and modern at the same time. The staff was courteous and professional. All seats aren't good seats. My seats purchased thru Groupon were horrible. We didn't even stay til intermission. But the Fox Theater is beautiful ❤️😍❤️

  • 5/5 Y L. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful venue! You can really see how the architecture had pulled all the pieces of the venue together while still making it versatile enough for comedy shows even. The acoustics were great that everyone could hear without echoes, static, etc. And the ease of getting into and out of the venue was flawless

  • 5/5 Aaron S. 9 months ago on Google
    GORGEOUS VENUE. I was awestruck from the entrance with the box offices to the my seat inside and the view of the stage. The theater is a show within itself with the large castle like features, a bridge over the top of the proscenium, the twinkling constellations on the ceiling with the blue night sky illusion overhead. It was sensory overload at first but oh so gorgeous to look at, I was not upset.

  • 5/5 Melissa B. 8 months ago on Google
    It is always a pleasure to watch a musical at The Fox. The building is absolutely beautiful. I've been coming here for years, and I still notice small details that I haven't noticed previously. The shows are incredible! Customer service is always excellent. Everyone that we interacted with either over the phone or in person (box office, parking, security, will call, ushers, etc.) is always very friendly and helpful.

  • 5/5 Heather R. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a unique piece of history with the atmospheric theatre! The building is such a treasure! It was unbelievably experience seated under the twinkling stars and the Arabian Nights theme. Oh and the Broadway performance of Tina Turner: The Musical was also exceptional!

  • 5/5 Zoya F. 2 years ago on Google
    Don't have enough words to describe this diamond in the heart of Atlanta! Find the time and go there for a show or just book a tour. It has gorgeous historic interior and exceptional decor!

  • 1/5 David A. 2 years ago on Google
    We went to a recent production primarily because of the seemingly strict public health policies listed on the website. The Fox did a great job enforcing the mask policy at the gates but beyond that it left a lot to be desired. Once inside the doors and seated the masks came off of at least 90% of participants and were never replaced throughout the entire production. Management stated that the usher's job description included enforcing the mask policy but not once did I see a single usher ask anyone to replace their mask. Individuals concerned about their health should consider these risks if deciding to visit the Fox.

  • 5/5 Lori V. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful. It's a beautiful theater. The ceiling is designed to look like the outside. So in the lights are on it looks like a blue sky with clouds floating by. And when the lights go down the ceiling looks like a night sky with stars coming out. The acoustics are great and from our seats up in the balcony we could hear and see everything beautifully.

  • 5/5 Rohan P. 2 years ago on Google
    Hamilton at the Fabulous Fox. Epic historic theater and an amazing show. Shout-out to the cast for putting on a great show

  • 5/5 Charna W. 2 years ago on Google
    This was my second time at Fox Theatre, and my first since COVID-19. I loved the show and the experience was amazing. As a theater connoisseur they left nothing to be desired!!!

  • 5/5 Lisa Elliott (. 2 years ago on Google
    They exercised as many COVID precautions as possible to make us feel safe. The employees were very courteous and helpful. My first time there, would definitely go back.

  • 5/5 Micah D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great venue. Hamilton was great from both sets of seats upstairs and down. Masks required. Lots of concession stands.

  • 5/5 Carolyn De J. 2 years ago on Google
    The Fox theatre transforms you to another time. It has a rich history and is a place you don't want to miss when visiting Atlanta. We saw Hamilton tonight and it was AMAZING! You'll love the interior design and decor of this theatre as much as the show!

  • 5/5 Kathy P. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a lovely venue...it is a true Night Out. Saw Hamilton and it was absolutely Amazing. We had to wait for over a year thanks to Covid and we saw it in TV...but, in person it was Spectacular!
