    ***TIPS AT BOTTOM***

    This beautiful old theater does not disappoint.  It's done in the style of a Morrocan market and the ceiling turns into a sky at night during the show.

    We bought 2 adult and 2 children's tickets for the Coca-Cola film festival showing of Finding Nemo at the box office an hour before the show which cost $30.  Online it would have cost $44.95 with all the add-on fees.

    A coke and large popcorn were $9 and the Fox parking lot directly next door was $5.  For a total of $44 we all got a very good experience.  The show includes the Mighty Mo organist playing oldies and sing-a-longs.  Getting to the Fox an hour early we didn't have to wait long to gain entrance and have our pick of seats since these features are general admission.  

    My boys went to the very front row which made me cringe a bit thinking of the crick in my neck I'll surely get.  But it was honestly the best seat in the house.  No neck straining!  And watching such a well done movie like Finding Nemo on a regular screen doesn't do it justice.  Watching it on the massive Fox screen was incredible.  I saw it in so much detail that my jaw just stayed open the whole time.

    I am definitely going back!

    TIPS- If it's a movie feature, chance that there will be plenty of tickets available the day of and buy them directly from the Fox box office.  You'll save a lot of money.  Sit in the front row- great view!  Arrive an hour early to get situated and to get good seats.  Park next door for $5 if it's just a movie feature.

    This is a gorgeous theatre.  The details of the space are incredible, floors, to ceiling, to seats.  If you have a chance to see something at the Fox, go see!

    Went to an Alabama concert at the Fox...my first visit to this landmark historic theatre...what a great venue!  I look forward to more visits to appropriate shows here, as it is classic!  It is a theater, but it just feels comfortable...with decent size seats, good sound and very helpful people...what more can you ask for.

    Well...it is quite beautiful on top of everything else...just simply gorgeous...

    Viva la Fox!

    I love The Fox Theatre!  It is a beautiful facility.  I only wish they had free parking (expect some waiting and fighting over spaces if you are new to the area--I recommend a nearby parking garage).  Be aware that the theatre is older, so the seats and aisle space is much less forgiving of wider bodies or short people, since the seats are not stadium-style.  Prepare accordingly!The only issue I have is that there really are not a lot of bathrooms, and you have to make a beeline at intermission, because during a performance they will make you wait if you are late.  I missed the "Masquerade" song at Phantom of the Opera because of a bathroom break, and I am still sad about that.  There are bathrooms down below, at the Egyptian bar, located on the far right side - or far south side - of the Fox.  I agree that this bar is also the easiest to access because not as many people flock to it.

    Im not surprised that the Fox is voted one of the best venues in Atlanta. The staff is always welcoming, its just the right size for any seat to be a good one, the atmosphere is so inviting, I forget that Im inside. My boyfriend is tall so he complains about needing to stretch his legs.

    Beautiful old theatre of high quality and right down town. It reminds of the Wang in Boston so I am naturally a big fan. It's ornately decorated and it really quite large. If you actually want to see, choose seats that are not in the last few rows, but there are few seats that have no visibility which is good. I saw Alvin Ailey here - they are always spectacular. They also have student rush tickets for at least some shows so look into that if you are still a broke-a** student like myself. I love that you can get a glass of wine at intermission, enjoy the show with a buzz, and then head next door to a cool jazz bar to keep the night going.

    First time at the Fox Theater and saw Mary Poppins.  Wonderful production!  The actors were spot on, music flawless, love the live orchestra.  The Fox was the perfect venue.  Adult beverages, popcorn and booster seats for the kids.  Will certainly return here on our next visit.

    The Fox Theatre is my favorite venue for theatrical performances and concerts. It's beautifully appointed, the entire staff is friendly and helpful, and there's not a bad seat in the house. I saw Wicked from the last row in the upper deck, and still enjoyed every single minute. Recently, I had the pleasure of seeing the inimitable Leonard Cohen perform his three-hour-plus show. The guy is 78 years old, and was still going strong at 11:30 PM. (Concert started at 8:00 PM, no opener.) The show was absolutely amazing. What I'd give for a fraction of his energy!

    Since I live in midtown, I'm lucky. I can walk to the Fox. But most people will be driving, and parking will cost you unless you like a good stroll and can park along one of the neighborhood streets near Piedmont Park. I recommend avoiding the Peachtree Street lots; there are a few less pricey lots behind the theatre on West Peachtree - a one-way street going north.

    Another helpful tip -- if you're looking to buy drinks or snacks during intermission, head over to the Egyptian bar, located on the far right side - or far south side - of the Fox. It's not as crowded and the wait time is usually less than five minutes. It's also a nice bar to hang out in before the show, away from the crush of people in the middle of the theatre lobby.

    I've been to the Fox in St. Louis, MO, and it's really great, but this Fox in Atlanta, certainly holds up against it nicely.  Parking (as others have said) is virtually non-existent and $15 on show nights (unless you plan to eat across the street at the Livingston - parking's complimentary when you take that route).

    The Fox and I have become acquainted on a number of different occasions, most recently being a great production of The Producers that a friend invited my boyfriend and I to attend with him and his girlfriend.

    So on a blustery Wednesday night we convened on the Fox and all of its "Arabian Nights"-themed grandeur for some entertainment.  The inside of the Fox is spectacular and Old World.  Very mosque-like with onion domes, a beautifully painted faux-sky ceiling and stars, plush carpeting and seating all over the lobby and all kinds of touches and flourishes that give it that Arabian feel.  It's all over the top, luxurious and perfect for the kinds of events and shows it boasts each season.  

    We began our show (which was only about half full) on the main floor not far back from the stage, and during intermission headed up to the second floor balcony.  This was an excellent change of perspective and I think I may have enjoyed our high up perches even more than the ones at ground level.

    The show was also top-notch: excellent actors, songs, comedic timing and costumes.  The audience was engaged and thoroughly enjoying itself, and I was surprised when we exited and it was 3 hours later.  It really went by in a flash (as all good entertainment should).  

    Every time I've been to the Fox has been great, and I'll be looking forward to the next time I can plan an outing there.  Parking fees or no, you're guaranteed some good entertainment.

    I grew up going to the Fox, and I love that place!

    The Fox has an interesting story and has been used a Shrine Mosque, movie house, and now the Theatre of the Stars. It's truly a testament to the Phoenix theme of Atlanta--  taking something that had become "burned" (by burned I mean, they were considering just tearing it down), into something extravagant and cherished. Atlantans teamed together in the Fix the Fox campaign and made it was it is today.

    Other than the rich history, the Fox is beautiful and quite a spectacular place to watch a play.

    Also, just remember that parking is free on the streets on Sunday.

    The Fox is such a treasure. Glad those activists saved it way back when.  Twinkling stars!  Egyptian themes. Good acoustics.  Saw Shen Yun there tonight and it was so, so beautiful--the perfection of the dancers, the richness of the music and stories.  It touched my heart.  

    Seemed appropriate to have this elegant, lively, funny, moving show in such a beautiful environment.

    I came here for a New Year's Eve party and I had an amazing time. The inside of the Fox Theatre is just beautiful. The place is definitely spacious. They were very good about moving the line quickly. It was very cold outside that night so that was definitely appreciated. I would love the opportunity to be able to go back there for a show.

    This place is just fantastic.  It's been a while since my last visit and yet it's the same every time I go back.  The Fox is a fantastic venue and subsequently a wonderful part of Atlanta's history and culture.

    Walking down the hallway out front is always a trip through memories until coming into the lobby on your way to the latest show you have come to see.  What a treat!

    From the stars that twinkle in the night sky in the theater to the stage itself, just a great place to come see a show.  I have seen everything from Joe Satriani, to Les Misérables, to Phantom of the Opera, to Cats, and more.  And last night, we saw The Nutcracker.

    Alcohol runs $5.75-6.75 for beer and $10.50 for a stiff adult beverage.

    How could this place ever been up to be demo'd, I have no idea.  I think it's one of the best places to go in downtown.  Always a good show!

    I have to say, the Fox is absolutely beautiful. Everything is lovely and the skyline inside is amazing! I love that they have popcorn and food and beer, especially since we attended "The Price is Right: Live!" Everything about the fox was great, they moved the line very quickly to register to play and everything was smooth. Parking was a bit of an issue, so we parked across the street at a hotel. I will warn anyone thinking about going to a future Price is right live show at the fox... don't do it. It was a total waste of money and whoever was involved in the sound and operation dropped the ball. Those of us on the upper level couldn't here a word the people on stage were saying. We could have had our names called up and wouldn't have known. The prizes were lame and the ONE showcase they had to offer, wasn't won by anyone. Just very disappointing.

    I will definitely be going back to the fox, but probably for a show or ballet or something. Never for a live game show again!

    The Fabulous Fox Theater is probably one of my favorite venues. Since it is in Midtown, there won't be many convenient parking around the area. And you would need to shell out a few bucks to park.

    The whole building looks like a Mosque. In fact, it confused me for a while. I always thought Atlanta built a huge Mosque in the middle of Midtown. But I realized it was The Fox Theater.

    I like the classic design of The Fox. It's different from the ultra-modern design of the Cobb Energy Center. It feels like I'm in a 40's movie. I just need a fedora and chiaroscuro lighting.  

    During popular shows, this place can get packed. I guess the lobby areas are compact, which can add to the atmosphere with all the people packed in shoulder to shoulder.

    If you get a crappy seat, the stage can seem far away and hard to see. At least, that was my experience. Even though the lobby area can be compact, the theater area feels large to me.

    So... I've been to the Fox before for plays. I've never been for a concert... Nicki Minaj to be exact, with 2 CHAINZ! (lol)

    The Fox keeps its name as a landmark in Atlanta because of its beauty inside and out. I usually start the party before I go to any concert so I don't know about the concessions. No matter where you sit (well maybe not in the dress circle) is a great seat. From my seat in the lodge I got an excellent view of all the action Nicki and all of her guests brought to the A. If you've never been please put it on your bucket list, its a MUST!!!

    Pretty good theatre located in Midtown on Peachtree based off crowd, amount of people.  Great for comedies.  Not a big concert guy but I'm sure if I was that concerts would be outstanding because of the space inside.  Not too spacious but enough for a venue for a good performance.  Very clean inside.  Always enjoyed the crowds as people come very respectable and on top of their G!  I don't recall a bad seat in the house whether you was in the back or not.  It's a staple to Atlanta entertainment and glad to be apart of it.  I still prefer Cobb Energy.

    I just saw my first concert at The Fabulous Fox Theatre. This was way, way long overdue. But I'm glad to say that it happened.

    I've been to the venue multiple times before for shows, weddings, professional development, etc. It's by far the classiest, cleanest, most aesthetically pleasing venue Atlanta has to offer.

    They don't call it fabulous for it's popcorn. That's for sure.

    As a 4th-generation Atlantan, I am proud to tout the Fox. The building itself it magnificent. The preservation has been spared nothing. Exterior and interior - The Fabulous Fox is full of detail and glam. From its Egyptian style, to its fully functional red velvet ropes, to the decor in the lounges. The Fox makes you feel fancy.

    The staff is as pleasant as the surroundings.  Super helpful and super friendly -- they provide something you rarely find at a venue in a large city these days.

    The sound quality is great for how large a venue it is. There is really no bad seat in the house, and persons taller than 6 feet won't feel cramped sitting down!

    I totally recommend to anyone visiting or those who live locally!

    I am a fan of theater. One thing I am not a fan of is the price tags that comes with it.

    I suggest to dress up when you come here. I am glad I listened to my girl when she begged me to give up the jeans and tshirt and put on the slacks and tie. People had said it was a really beautiful place, and I dont know what part of the Fox I may have wandered but I thought it was nice, but The Ritz is so much more nicer than this place. I had imagined this place to be like a palace from some of the things people had said.

    Parking can be a nightmare. I suggest to pay the extra bucks to find a reputable and safe place. Homeless people will quickly try to take advantage of you if you even act the slightest bit lost or confused.

    All in all, if you are in Atlanta as a visitor or a resident, you have to come here at least once. The Fox theater is such an important landmark here and it will be a darn shame to not visit it at least once.

    Attention: If you are going to a show Friday or Saturday night, then YOU MUST dress up or you will look like a slob and feel out of place. Men: that means dress slacks and a button down and tie (jacket optional, but highly recommended). Ladies: dresses or dress slacks. People: NO Jeans, NO shorts. This isn't Florida where society has given up on looking presentable.

    It's a gorgeous historic location, plenty of restaurants to have a pre-theatre dinner.

    CONS: (1) To be honest, there are some REALLY bad seats at this place (which is why I didn't give it 5 stars). Thankfully there is a tool on the Fox's website were you can actually see the view of the stage from your seat. I highly recommend you do this before buying tickets. (2) The drinks are expensive and weak as hell.

    One of the cheapest parking is found on Ponce. I usually pay $5 on that street (b/c I'm a tight-wad and would rather walk a block or two then pay more than that) otherwise, parking on Peachtree is $20-$25.

    Yeah there are better places than the Fox Theater for acoustics no doubt about that but the historic decor makes up for that. We had to settle for the extreme back row for a recent production and could see well enough that we would do that again.

    Worth a trip to see their film nights during the summer as well. Concession stands are lame for theater standards but the historic building makes up for that as well. Lame selection of drinks and snacks, great ambiance and always an experience.

    Its Magical Daddy, Thats what my daughter said Friday when I took her to see The Atlanta Ballets version of the Nutcracker. Which I had not seen since I was in it in the 4th grade as a sugar plum ferry, Thanks Ms. Page, have never gotten over that.

    But that is how I feel every-time I walk in the door of what is arguably the greatest place to see anything. I have memories through out my entire life of this Magical place, From Les Misarble, Phantom of the Opera and Grease to REM, Widespread Panic, A wedding and a few parties. Its really just cool to just go see even if you are'nt seeing anything.

    Of all the theaters I have visited in the world, this is my favorite.  It is a step back in time and it is surreal.  It is such an elegant and beautiful theater.  You just have to visit the theater to understand its beauty.  

    Every show I have seen at this theater (from REM to Johnny Mathis) has been an incredibly memorable and magical experience.  I attribute this to the great acoustics and magical decor.

    I love the Fox Theatre.  I true gem of Atlanta and really a beautiful place.  It's not too big or too small; it's the perfect venue in my opinion for a concert or a show.  If I understand correctly the ladies' bathroom upstairs houses a replica of KIng Tut's tomb.  It is beautiful.  In fact, the structural details all around the Fox are quite facinating to look at.  

    The sound is awesome here and you know upon entering that you are someplace very special.

    I hate the parking situation downtown with all its high cost, but hey I need to accept it as a reality at this point.  

    Anyway, I truly appreciate the Fox Theatre and I will return over and over again.

    What's not to love?  The performances are great, but even if you're only looking around, this place is amazing.  I saw Wicked there last night, and while I'm sure it's an amazing experience on Broadway, I like to think that the twinkling stars and flying carpets of the Fox made it even more appropriately magical.

    One of my favorite ongoing events is the Coca Cola summer film series, which shows classics and summer blockbusters for about the same price as an other movie theater.  Before each movie, there's a sing-a-long with Mighty Mo, the organ.  It's particularly awesome for seeing Gone With the Wind, for which there is reserved seating.

    You might think that an old theater would be a pain when it comes to amenities, but they've got enough bathrooms that even when the lines look daunting, they move quite quickly.  Also, there are ushers everywhere, happy to answer your questions and point you in the right direction.  

    Speaking of ushers, the folks in white shirts and dark pants (not the fancy uniforms) are volunteers.  It's a great way to see all the shows, without having to fork over massive cash.  It's been a while since I looked into it, but it didn't require all that much training, and they have so many events that they were always looking for people.

    As some of the other reviews mention, it's quite historic, and definitely worth taking a tour to see and learn more.

    There really is no bad seat here and the building itself is amazing. We got to tour the theatre during Yelp's Culture Club and last week I saw Kylie Minogue here. Of course, that's on top of all the other performances I've attended including those times when I was a high school dork as a volunteer usher.

    I'd encourage you to take one of the tours conducted by the Atlanta Preservation Center. Ask for Howard. He's awesome. Also, if you're coming here for a concert the upper level has the best sound and great views (per Howard).

    Concessions are readily available and the aisles are set-up as to not disturb anyone in case you need to make a quick break in the middle of a show. Plus there are bathrooms everywhere. Dramatic looking bathrooms, by the way.

    The Fox Theatre opened as a sophisticated movie palace in 1929 (hello, Great Depression) and has evolved into a beautiful performing arts venue.  I've seen Big (a hip hop ballet featuring Big Boi from Outkast) and STOMP (a wordless, rhythmic performance) here, and every time I step foot in the Fox, I feel proud to call Atlanta my home.  The theatre is wonderfully preserved, and each experience is a delight. Here are a bunch of things that I learned during a Yelp sponsored tour:

    *Average 325 shows per year
    *Over 1m people visit each year
    *A hospital clinic was required at one time and you can see the word "hospital" on one of the doors downstairs. They are going to restore their clinic once they raise enough funds to do so.
    *The balcony lowers three inches at full capacity.
    *Two bars were added to the mezzanine by the Australians during the '96 Olympics.
    *Concession sales are important!  During a weekend of Widespread Panic shows, they did 210k in concession sales.
    *There is a piece of a Coke bottle in one of the stars on the ceiling.  Check out the gorgeous night sky next time you visit!

    The Atlanta Preservation Center offers tours, so check out their website for more information.  I would love to go on a longer tour at some point to learn more about the Fox's interesting history.  If you're in town, I highly recommend going to see a show at the Fox.  It lends itself to a memorable date night- park in one of the "pay to park" spots, grab a drink before the show, and get dinner after the show!

    I went to see Jamie Foxx at the Fox Theatre when he came to Atlanta years ago.  Had a fantastic time, and had fantastic seats.  I think this is a great venue for shows and concerts, and while it seems a tad bit dated, I think there is a certain mystique about having a show here.

    No complaints about the venue at all...

    It's called the fabulous Fox for a reason.  It's just quite simply...fabulous.  It doesn't matter where you sit or what you see, you are almost guaranteed to have a good time in this beautiful theatre.  

    A couple of tips:

    -Bathroom lines for women are ridiculously long, except at the secret bathrooms at the very top of the theatre in the gallery section.  If you're seated in the balcony, turn around and face the back of the theatre and take the stairs to your right allllll the way to the back of the theatre.  There's a secret ladies room right behind the last row of chairs that never has a line.

    -When you exit, miss the mass of people leaving the main door and take the exterior staircase which you can reach through the doors marked "EXIT" on the left hand side as you face the stage.  Gorgeous view of the skyline, and you pass the stage door so you can stalk any of the celebrity performers.

    -For musicals, watch out for half off tickets for Tuesday and Wednesday night performances when purchased at a Publix Ticketmaster.  I just saw 42nd street and my (nosebleed) seats were only $11 plus fees.  That's basically the same price as the movie.

    -The Fox website has a neat interactive feature where you plug in your seat number and you can see a picture of the view of the stage from your seat.  There really is no bad seat in the house!

    -If by some freak accident you did get a bad seat, the ushers are really nice about not only letting you switch to a better, empty seat during intermission, but also keeping an eye out for the best unoccupied seats to aide in your unofficial ticket upgrade.

    And doesn't seeing a show in a theatre as opposed to a "theater" just make you feel classy?  It's the little things.

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed the Fox before now.  Anyhoo...

    I love the Fox.  It's gorgeous.  I love the Moorish exterior and the Egyptian and Moorish interiors.  I love the blue sky with stars that twinkle.  I love its history.  It's fun to see movies at the Fox in the summertime.  The bathrooms are gorgeous.  The Egyptian Ballroom is great for private parties and events.  The Mighty Mo organ is truly remarkable.  I love all the architectural accents in the lobbies and entryway, including those that are symbolic to the Shriners, who built the Fox as their temple (I like to try and find the symbols).  I really freakin' love that everything is made of concrete and plaster even though it looks like all sorts of other materials (I learned this on the tour).

    I will concede that there are some bad seats here, particularly for musicals.  But, I just avoid them.  It's so fun to see shows here - it's like being in a magical place.  And, the tour is really interesting - I highly recommend it.  The tour was the only way I would have gotten to see what the men's restrooms look like (they were pretty cool, too).

    I took a date to see Wicked over the weekend at the Famous Fox Theatre and decided I should finally write my review.

    I have been here several times and I have never had a bad experience.  The ambiance is stellar.  It feels like a time warp.  The ushers and staff are professionally dressed, courteous, and respectful.  I love that they maintain proper atmosphere by not allowing stragglers to enter the main hall late until a break in the performance.

    The theatre is conveniently located next to several great after dinner locales which all provide a great place for a pre-show drink.

    Parking is about $10 a few blocks away or $20 right next to the theatre.

    I do have one concern.  This past weekend I spotted a handful of guys and girls wearing jeans/casual clothing.  Is it too much to ask for a theatre to still be a place where people are expected to dress up?  I hope they start enforcing a dress code.

    I finally made it back to the Fox after years of absence, and it's still a great venue, as always.  

    The auditorium and lobby are absolutely beautiful.  If there's a performance with an intermission they organize the human traffic to/in/out of the bathrooms with military precision.  (Too bad the line to the bar wasn't quite so organized and intermission was a bit short.)

    That said.  Plan for traffic getting there.  Not just on the connector, but also in midtown.  It slows to a crawl before a Fox event.   Plan for parking.  Paying for it, and driving around looking for a space.  It seemed like 10% of the audience was late, and it was very distracting to have this huge rush of people come in after the opening number.  (Also a waste of their money.  Hahaha.)

    If you can get there early enough to have dinner or drinks beforehand, I highly recommend doing so.  And stick around midtown for a bit afterwards, because the traffic jam getting out is even worse.

    Of course, the truly lucky (like me!) will live nearby.

    The Fox Theatre is a class act! I should have reviewed this awhile back. I went here 3 years ago for a 1940's -- Cotton Club themed New Year's Eve party, it was probably one of the second best new years eve's in my life (new years in Korea while serving in the military overseas was #1). It was awesome while the guests (myself included) were dressed in garb reminiscent of the Cotton Club. That night was one of the best nights of my life and the Fox added to the classiness of my evening.

    I have been to the Fox a number of times since that memorable New Year's Eve BUT never reviewed it....I just visited the Fox again this past weekend when I saw WICKED so i just had to take the time to review it. I love the long halls and the incredible decor. The Fox is exactly what people should expect from an evening at the theatre. This theatre is one of the reasons I love Atlanta!

    Yes, parking isn't cheap or fun, but the Fox truly deserves the title "Fabulous!" A classic 'Atlanta' place, and just as I'd imagine it to be decades ago.

    They have bands, theater, special events and movies here - and though the actual theater is quite opulent, it adds instead of detracts from what's happening on stage. I recently saw a musical here, and the magic that happened on stage seemed to merge seamlessly with what we were surrounded by in the theater.

    They also have smaller rooms that are rented out for private events - I've been to a wedding reception in the Grand Salon & Terrace... and found out if you have your reception here, you get your name in bright lights on the marquee out front!

    Oh I love the Fox. I can't believe they once thought of tearing this beauty down.

    I am reminded of when I was in elementary school and we went there to see The Nutcracker. I was in awe of the beautiful dancers, but also the theatre itself. The building has a sort of Egyptian them to the decor, and everything is dripping with excitement. The real beauty here is the ceiling inside the theatre, a starry sky.

    The theatre feels like you are in an Arabian palace, with the night sky twinkling overhead. Sometimes when I go here I have a hard time paying attention to what's happening on stage because I'm staring at the ceiling.

    I've seen Phantom of the Opera, David Gray, and movies with the Coca Cola Film Festival here - all amazing. I am willing to pay a bit more here to see concerts because I love the atmosphere so much!

    The Fabulous Fox!

    If you have never been to the Fox, shame on you! It amazes me that I have known people who have lived here for over 5 years and have no idea what the inside of this Atlanta gem looks like.

    I remember my first visit to the Fox when I was in grade school on a field trip to see Peter Pan. Our seats were on the balcony and I must have spent more time gazing at the star dusted ceiling and Arabian drapes then watching the actual performance. So if you do come and can't afford to sit close, don't fret, the Egyptian and Arabic decor of this palace is enough to entertain you.

    So if you have never been, or haven't been in awhile, choose a show and buy tickets (discount if your in a group) and be glamorous for the night.

    I hate to admit it but I have been to the Fox Theater for other things besides concerts.  The Fox theater hosts a wide variety of events and performances for numerous audiences.  Some of the examples of the events and performances include: concerts; plays like "Phantom of the Opera" and "Rent"; numerous ballet performances; and random movie screening specials of popular cinema blockbusters from the current year or past years.

    I have only seen one concert at the Fox.  While I thought that the venue itself was a unique and cool place to see a show, the sound quality was not the best, at least from where I was sitting.  I was told by veteran Fox Theater concert attendees that the venue itself was historically known for distorting acoustics during a concert.  More specifically, an individuals ability to hear any form of the guitarist's contribution to a concert is drowned out by the rest of the band or the crowd itself because of the way the theater is designed.

    I have also been to the Fox to see a couple of plays.  The last one that I saw their was Phantom of the Opera, which was great if you are in to that kind of stuff.  The play that I saw prior to that one was Fame, which I have to admit, I thoroughly enjoyed. Due to the fact that I have not ever seen a ballet at the Fox, nor do I ever plan to unless a gun is held to my head, I must declare the plays as the best form of entertainment that can be seen at the theater.
