The Fox Theatre Reviews

The Fox Theatre is an excellent downtown Atlanta venue for plays, musicals, concerts, and more. The staff is extremely helpful and courteous. I visited with a broken leg and they ensured that I was assisted every, uh, step of the way.
Highly recommended!

While we were there in October '17 it was closed for some renovations.. shame we couldn't tour the auditorium.. the outside was awesome and worth a return visit.

They really need to get additional screens so those sitting up high can see the performer on stage. Difference in nostalgia and antiquated.

It is an old but beautiful theater that puts on wonderful professional performances.

The SWV concert in the Egyptian room was perfect for Valentine's Day date night.

The fox is absolutely gorgeous, the bathrooms get very crowded during intermission and it's a bit chaotic.

The theatre is beautiful and the show high quality. But trying to get in felt like going through airport security! Went mid-April of 2018Had to walk through metal detector and have all purses and bags searched. They took my water bottle and threw it away... the only thing they didn't do was make me remove my shoes. I understand the need, but didn't enjoy the experience.

Lower rating because the bathrooms. There are not enough. Huge lines.

The interior is so pretty, and the distance to the stage is a very good proximity no matter where you sit!

Kinda bad to awwful . a tab bit off to the side a real blind spot

sound system sucked. No Food and the beverages are over-priced.

I've always been super impressed with the Fabulous Fox, and the best concerts I've ever attended were there

The fox has amazing performances and their standard of cleanliness is superb. Be prepared for an amazing night if you choose to see a show at the fabulous fox theater!

I love the beautiful interior and exterior of the Fox Theatre, especially the ceiling inside. I really appreciate how large the ladies room is because the line moves very quickly. The sinks really need an update though because they waste a great deal of water. Food choices are limited.

Beautiful old theater but not reccommended for those with health challenges. Very dark steep multi story climb to my seat, in pain, got winded, did not see an elevator for public use. The emergency exit was right there to the outside but is another multi story descent.

As beautiful as it was as a child growing up! The Nutcracker was fabulous! A must see

I really enjoyed CATS. The FOX theatre is one of those LIFE experiences you must be a part of

Beautiful theater. Sound could be clearer in some areas.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE experience at the Fox Theather tonight. I just watched my dear friend -- a prominent businesswoman, lover/supporter of the arts and former student at the Alvin Ailey Summer Intensive Program (AND who paid heavily for all of our 5th row seats, by the way)... be escorted out of the opening night of Alvin Ailey tonight. Why you ask??? Because she took a picture. YES!!! In 2019, in the day of smart phones and social media, she took a photo... and was escorted out by the smug & proud Fox Theater staff. I still couldn't believe it. No warning or anything... just "ma'am, we're going to have to ask you to leave". This whole NO PHOTOS during shows thing is a complete joke. Like, people are going to take photos of the show and if you don't want your show being photographed... go dance in your basement where no one can watch. Don't invite the public, ask people to pay money for tickets and then throw them out over some silly red tape. ANDDDD... IT WAS SWELTERING IN THERE!!!! I missed Hamilton, so this was actually my first time at the Fox (and first time seeing an Alvin Ailey performance)... but definitely my last... at BOTH.

great venue, bad sound. why are there so few good sound people. makes you not want to bother seeing most live shows anymore!!!!!!

Pretty good! I went to see Rent and everything was absolutely perfect, but I have to say the instrumental was extremely loud!

Saw the Lion King at the Fox - what a great show at a beautiful venue!

I watched the performance called Finding Neverland. The performance was really great! I was expecting more from the building and crowd though. The building was kind of gross and damp, concessions took 25 min, bathroom is a ridiculous maze, and parking is confusing. This may be standard, but don't forget you have to go through security at the beginning and they confiscate pocket knives. Also everybody was in jeans. It was more casual than I expected.

Even the far back seats were great. Along with a beautiful setting.

My favorite place to see a movie. Also, it's the home of Mighty Mo - one of the world's biggest and best theater organs. Go see it!

Personally we bought the package of 7 functions and we went as a family to Fox.

Good venue. Seating in orchestra section could be tiered a little better so mid orchestra can see. Good sound, good shows.

We saw the nutcracker and the performance was great, orchestra included! The bathrooms at intercession were insane, keep kids in same stall and do your Best to use the restroom before going.

Awesome vintage theater! Great play! Relaxing drinks!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience here. The acoustics are fantastic and the decor is well done. The ushers and employees were very friendly.

Wonder theatre and staff. It s always an amazing experience, until you have to leave. Trying to get out of parking is a 10-45 minute nightmare.

An Atlanta gem. Always fun to see performances here.

Always love a trip to the fox. It's an absolutely gorgeous venue

Saw The Illusionists
Basically a magic show in TOO LARGE a place! Card tricks in a large auditorium?? Needed a screen above to project show and I was in middle orchestra! Low def projection.

Worst part? Despite saying in playbill NOT to use cellphones EVERYONE in two rows in front of me had cell phones videotaping the show--I COULND T SEE BECAUSE OF GLARE!

I asked the ushers to do something--nothing done!

I left before the first intermission and didn t go back--a LOT of other people left too.

I have wasted a LOT of money getting these tickets. I have to stay over night in Atlanta as I live too far away to drive home after.

I would LOVE to get my money back! When I see a play in Broadway they do NOT allow people to have cell phones on and taping shows. What s the deal?

VERY LOW CLASS!!

Beautiful old theater. I thought I would plotz when I saw the line for the ladies room, but the staff there kept that line moving. It was like cattle going slaughter but it worked!

I love going to the fox but don't get the popcorn! There's no butter and it's really dry.

Great place have ejoyed concerts, plays, and premiers.

The Fox Theatre is an American icon that consistently provide high-quality services and phenomenal shows...

Incredible theater. Have seen both John Crist and Sebastian Manascalco here and the vibe was perfect for them.

The theatre is soooo beautiful on the inside!! I saw the Tyler Perry Play, it was amazing and so much fun.

You have to do Marquee Club it s soo soo nice!

I adore this place, I have seen everything from BB King to Wicked to a screening of Casablanca. All of which have been spellbinding and fantastic. There aren't many historic places like the Fox left in Atlanta. It is a must see.

It is really impressive that the box office can still pick up the phone immediately during pandemic. Really appreciate their hard work. We've had so many wonderful experience here, can't wait to come back.

The Fox Theater is a treasure...you can never go wrong with a visit here.

A true Atlanta institution, the Fox is a great place to watch a concert, a Broadway show, or even just an old movie. The beautiful star-dotted ceiling and vintage styling make for a lovely environment for any experience with incredibly helpful staff and some of the fanciest bathrooms in the city

First time there for the Madea play! No complaints!!

Went to see Phantom of the Opera a few years back and HAD to come back for Bon Iver. Both were amazing!

Concert was really good. FEB 11 2017...Jeffrey Osborne..Robin Thick and Kem..Great seats Live bands ream music..Happy Valentine's week....and Black History month...

Such a great historic venue to see concerts and shows. Always try to get seats in the front loge sections...

First time to sit in Dress Circle. The setting and the acoustics were first rate... I could see and hear the fantastic Ms. Rachel Maddow with no problems.

Great show first concert at the Fox since 1976 outstanding venue.

Saw the play "Pride and Joy, The Marvin Gaye story". LOVED IT!!! Very frindly staff.

Beautiful old theater. Lots of personality in this place.

Beautiful venue with lots of history, and excellent seating.

This theater is GORGEOUS!!!! Sound was great, staff was polite and quick. I can't wait to go back.

My mother-in-law came to visit and took my husband and I to see a Christmas theme Cirque du Soleil play. I for the life of me I cannot remember the name of it right now. But it was very very cool! Love the historic look let every Fox Theater I've ever been to has, but especially this one.

Nice venue but security is ridiculous, feels like you're at the airport.

Beautiful theater. Can't wait to see another performance there.

The Fox Theater is gorgeous and iconic! Need I say more?
