Fox Performing Arts Center Reviews

Easy parking and entrance. Great sound in a beautiful old theatre.

Venue is small so any seat you choose is great. Makes the experience more personal.

The Fox Performing Arts Theatre is a cultural icon and a destination for anyone in the Riverside area. Amazing performances and a fantastic seasonal line up. The refurbished theatre harkened back to the glory days of theatre and teleports its patrons to wonderful dreamscapes.

It is a lovely venue. Tonight was Blue Man Group. Excellent fun!!!

We went to watch a mexican singer Emmanuel concert this was a great performance., We really enjoyed , I'm personally really like this singer the romantic and dancing songs are really good music from the 70's, 80's, 90' and the millennium, his music it's classic for people that grown up listen in the 70's, I was 7 year old the first time that start singing his song and every time I'm listening this songs I'm remembering every single happy and sad moment of my life and I feel like I still living those moments like was yesterday

Good place to go and enjoy the show, chairs could an upgrade.. lil uncomfortable.

Great venue with unique feel, lighting and acoustics. Shows feel much more intimate, even though it's a good sized venue.

Good place to see a concert
As bonus...
Food places all around!!!

Small, intimate venue. Not a bad seat in the house.

Nice place. The old building is fun to explore, and they always have great events/acts, but the seats are uncomfortably close together and drinks are way too expensive.

Hosted panels and guests at Darkside in Riverside. A really beautiful theater.

Had a great time at the double feature put on by Encore High School for Performing Arts.

Beautiful place and in every sit you can enjoy the show.

Great time at the Fox Theater settling the debate as to who was the greatest rock band The Beatles or the Rolling Stones.Both cover bands were excellent covering different periods in each bands history. This show took me back to a simpler time in life. The Fox Theater is another jewel in the crown of downtown Riverside. I an not wait until my wife and I return for another show.

AWESOME EXPERIENCE!! GOT TICKETS THROUGH LIVE NATION VETTIX, I AM A VETERAN, AND TOOK 3 FRIENDS. GREASE THE SING A LING WAS AWESOME. GOSH WE LAUGHED AND ALL WONDERED WHAT WE WERE DOING THE YEAR GREASE CAME OUT.THE THEATRE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. AAAAA+++++

A very good first time experience to share with my granddaughter

It is a very nice place and they offer very good shows, I really like that they have many varieties of peograms

Awesome Chris Daughtry concert... This is a beautiful place

Saw Needtobreathe perform an "acoustic" show here. It was really a lovely venue.

Great place to enjoy a play. Comedy show or music. Great seating

Nice theatre, has been here in riverside for a long time. I don't go often but when I do it's a good experience!

Enjoyed the theater and the Derrick Hough
Show

The selection of entertainment has something for anyone's interest, from plays, to dance, to concerts, to children entertainment. The theatre is small therfore you can't get a bad seat and the food court and parking are conveniently located

This place is really cool. The chairs are comfortable and the way they are placed makes it so that you can see the stage pretty well no matter where you are. Tall people are no longer annoying. There's a bar there as well. The drinks are ridiculously expensive. Like crazy overpriced. I got a bottle of water and a beer and just those two things alone was $15. But honestly that's expected at any venue. But honestly that's the only downside of here. There's reserved seating so you don't need to fight for a place to sit or stand. I do advise that you buy your tickets as early as possible because the longer you wait, the more expensive the tickets are. Nice place. If someone you like is playing here, I would definitely recommend you come here.

We've seen many concerts here since the renovation, and have consistently had a great time. Great sound, great decor, even nice bathrooms and close parking. The chairs could be a bit wider and with a bit more legroom, but that's a common complaint at most all venues.

Old venue with comfy seating. Food and some drinks they served were garbage and overproced, but they had a decent selection of craft beer.

Great historic place, beautifully restored and a very important part of the Downtown Riverside experience.

Definitely worth exploring upstairs before the doors open for your show (there may be billiards).

Nice place!!
Nice cuddly place !!

The venue itself is small which I think is perfect any seed in the house good. I order my seats early and i always get aisle seats. I went to see Sinbad and he was hilarious . I've also seen Rob Thomas and James blunt. Good acoustics great sound

Every staff person was very polite and helpful. Love the old feeling of the theater, yet with updated facilities.

Our church held a conference here, and the staff is awesome! They are very professional, courteous, kind and helpful in every way possible. The building is clean. It has an antique feeling to it, like most of the town in that area, but very nice. The venue served our needs well

Good place to attend the humorous events and singers I really like this place

This was my graduation day ,Thank you for having us.

The Fox Theater in Riverside is nicer than most broadway houses in NYC. They did a tremendous job on the renovations and the city is starting to get great acts in consistently. Nothing better than being able to stay local to enjoy top-rate entertainment.

I came here to see a Christmas play. It was fun for the whole family.

The Fox Performing Arts Theater in Riverside is just a gorgeously restored old building inside. All of the hand would work and all of the restored brickwork is gorgeous. Well worth it just to go there and see a movie when they have those.

Been here cpl times. Saw switchfoot this time.. classic decor and feel.. perfect size to feel close but accommodate a large crowd... And the new food lab makes for great pre-entertainment

Nice older theater with good acoustics. Paid for VIP tickets and not sure that was worth the price but a overall nice place to attend a concert.

Consesions could have been better and the announcement said it was a live orchestra and in reality it was a sing along movie ... underwhelmed

What an amazing venue to see Joe Bonamassa perform!!

Beautiful theater. Not huge so all the seats have a great view. Easy parking.

Always have a great time there. Way better than going all the way to L.A. great artist and plays

Historical theater with live stage as well as a movie theater. Original Spanish tiles and gold mission bells, as well as ornate archtecture inside and out make this an enjoyable place to go. Free parking across the street is a BIG plus.

Entering was more difficult than in the past. They now have metal detectors. Sad.

Like going back in time ... the theater is Retro Cool ... recently went for the Bohemian Rapsody event with concert sound and audience participation ... very fun

There's always something going on at The Fox. Hit Broadway shows come through here. Top name performers, too! Very good prices! It's one of the jewels of Riverside after their refurbishment. Highly recommended!

Great theater. Been going since it first reopened and will continue for years.

I'm about to see the legendary ex-Harvard professor and clinical psychologist Jordan B. Peterson speak at this theater, and unless the theater is infested with bats, LiveNation gets 5 stars for making this possible.

Lovely Old Theater
Most any seat in the house I great seat. I love coming here.

Beautiful theater, but watching a movie here is terrible. Sound quality is bad up in the balcony -- very difficult to understand dialog. And the aspect ratio was absolutely terrible.

Saw a great performance by Celtic Thunder last week. They were incredible. We would give the beautiful theatre 5 stars but we're disappointed with the way wait lines are unorganized and once inside, how one side of the theatre opened and our side had a 30 minute delay. Many patrons were complaining.

We have to say your theatre is gorgeous. Maybe it was just this night's staff not communicating with one another, but it did detract from what otherwise would have been a perfect night!

Great Show, Great Theatre, Great sound. Very nice Venue!!
