Beautiful theater. Our first show here. Purchased parking pass for Red lot. Not really worth it. Parking garage was locked on one side had to walk around the building just to get inside, then walked the full distance to the opposite side to get to open stairwell since then one closest was locked, then a full distance of the garage to out car. Kinda cruel to lock opposite gates and stairs.
Beautiful theatre & very well maintained! We went for Anita Baker's farewell tour and it was amazing.
Quaint & beautiful theater! Not a bad seat in the house!
The Good:
- All the staff I interacted with was very, very courteous
- Pretty cool venue
The Bad:
- Very poor acoustics: I went to watch a comedy show and I could hardly hear/understand what was being said. It wasn't lack of speakers or low volume, it was actually an aspect of the audio coming out. Perhaps an imbalance between bass and treble? I am sure an Audio Engineer would know what I am trying to convey. Either way... I bought expensive tickets and seriously only enjoyed ~30-35% of the show. Bummer.
- Parking lots around the venue will try to bait and switch. Huge "$3 PARKING" sign with tiny "before 9AM" small print at the bottom. Once you park, they ask for $20. No thanks, not going to participate in this scam. I recommend taking the subway if you're able to.
- I didn't consume their food/beverages, but it's the typical low quality, poor selection, price gouging scheme.
If it weren't for the staff, I'd rate it 1-star for this last visit.
Great place to go for a live show. Drinks and food a bit pricey.
Favroite place ever went and saw Hamilton it's amazing the workers are friendly and the theatre is beautiful
Fun place for the 90s' block party. Hennessey margarita were off the chain. Lol.
The staff & ATL police made it a bad experience for my son with disability
Went to see For King and Country... Awesome place!!! Easy to find the seats with all the ushers and parking was a breeze...
The best place on the planet to experience a live event.
So gorgeous! I always love seeing shows at the Fox. It's always a treat.
The Fabulous Fox was just as fabulous as always. They get five stars from me.
Not so much the cackling winches on the row behind us. We paid to see the show and hear the actors. The only bad part of the experience was hearing your constant commentary and obnoxious and untimely laughter and singing.
Adults singing along with a musical? Really?
It's been a while since I have been to the Fox, but as always, it was Fabulous. There's new signage for a touch of modern but the spectacular vintage setting remains something that can't be topped. We went for Wicked and the production was pure magic
An amazing experience! Walking into the Fox is almost just as awesome as the show you are going to watch! The design, art, and beauty of this place is breath taking! The service was phenomenal. The staff was super friendly and very helpful with helping me find my seat and buy concessions. The tickets may be expensive, but they are with every penny for the experience. I watched the broadway musical Aladdin and was blown with the performance and scenery. A great place to go if someone is looking for fancy date night!
Awesome place to experience. Check in is fast (buy all tickets online and print). Staff are extremely helpful in locating services and seating. Not much room in seating (closer than movie theaters) and have no cup holders so you will end up holding your drinks until finished. This is because they keep it original the best they can. Use parking as outlined on the website ($20-$30). This is one if Atlantas "must do".
The Fox is a great venue for concerts. They just got to streamline there drink lines. They are disorganized and slow.
The staffing is OUTSTANDING! Very intimate. Perfect setting for concerts & plays.
Best place to watch a show, play, comedy, etc. Also 2 great rooms for events!
As Native Atlantans we have always enjoyed going to The Fox Theatre. Service and cleanliness is always A+, and absolutely the best sound system ever hands down!!!
It's historic, classy, the men's room line moves quickly during intermission. One of my favourite venues. Lighting is incandescent, lamp, and or reflected, rarely direct. Secured, metal detectors on entry. Friendly very helpful army of volunteer staff.
We went to the fox theatre with my father and mother in laws for a show called coming home. We all enjoyed the show. First time at fox theatre. We had fun
Beautiful venue. Amazing acoustics. Will definitely return for future events..
The setting at the Fox is welcoming, not overly huge and not cramped. The staff is well trained.
The old architectural design inside was beautiful and you can see the stage from every angle very good experience
Awesome experience!! Bring It Live was EVERYTHING!!!
Seats in balcony are terrible. Usually love the balcony due to the view but their seats are the worst if you don't get the first row. I guess I'll be spending more time at home.
Love the Atlanta Fox. When you visit Atlanta be sure to visit, take a tour, and if possible see a show. This historic building is a national treasure.
Amazing staff, beautiful theatre, worth every penny.
Watched Michael Carbonaro, Phantom of the Opera, and a Christmas show here. This place never fails to give me the wows.
This place is so beautiful. Went for a concert and it was amazing
Beautiful and amazing. Wish there where more bathrooms.
Went on an Amazing tour of this beautiful, antiquated theater. Enjoyed every minute!
My wife and I love seeing plays at the Fox Theater.
Pos-Awesome show (Wicked) last night!
Clean restrooms
Quick security check.
Cell phones permitted.
Credit cards accepted @ concessions etc.
Neg-
Expensive concessions & souvenirs!
Expected it to be cold in the theatre but it was too warm for the packed house!
Theatre absolutely did not help us with our large school group (6th grade field trip). Safety of the kids was an issue.
Intermission too short for # of people & many of us were locked out when show started again.
There has to be a better/safer system for the men's bathroom line vs the mass hodge podge of men in the lobby! Not a safe situation for our large grp of kids. No staff present in lobby to facilitate crowd movement/safety @ all during intermission.
@ end of show our large school grp waited to be last to exit due to safety etc; ushers were oblivious, incredibly rude & insensitive to us.
Nice location. Famous and classic name. You don't have to bother about what is running. I went for mamma mia. But that doesn't matter, it's an experience.
The venue is awesome
Just saw The Color Purple for the first time....great show
Great sound and small enough venue there are no bad seats
The best venue for shows and concerts! You have got to experience the Fox Theatre!
I enjoyed the play and the cast members, everyone looked well! Would like to attend Saturday's show but I don't have another ticket. Lol!
Saw Wicked had a great time but was angered at the amount of people still left in the lobby when the the second half of the play started. The front house manager could have made an effort to work with the stage manager to hold the second half of the play from starting with the amount of people still left in the lobby trying to get back to their seats.
Went for Alvin Ailley performance was outstanding. Had great balcony seats.
Saw Hamilton here. The seats were good, drinks very pricey. Intermission ended too early, with many still out. Disappointingly, the ushers wouldn't help a mobility-impaired senior find her seat in the dark after post-intermission start-up.
An overall excellent experience! Inspiring architecture, atmosphere and entertainment! Everyone will enjoy this venue!
Beautiful, historic and seats were great! Drinks were a bit pricey. The sound system could have turned down some to allow you to hear more of the artist's voice. Great venue overall!
Love seeing all types of shows here, don t be afraid to sit way up high, it s a great view!! Heads up! Get double wine, so you can go to the bathroom line during intermission!
Love the theater! Beautiful! Avett Bros. were awesome!!
Was there to buy tickets for the Lion King show today we had to get out of there fast because there were a Gas leak close by on the side street. Couldn't get to buy the tickets . Was so disappointed .
The acoustics in the Fox suck. Maybe if you spend $200/ticket and sit front and center but I doubt it. No one with me understood half the words either.
The seats are tighter than airline seats with less leg room. I imagine it's fine for people under 5' 7" but my wife at 5'8" hit the seat in front of her.
There were insufficient staff to help us find our seats.
They charge $5 for a bottle of water that costs them maybe $0.25? All the other prices were equally too high.
Beautiful, iconic theatre in the heart of Atlanta. We went here to see Jill Scott. Parking can be a burden, but getting in and out was very quick and efficient. We sat in the balcony, all the way on the right, 3 rows from the rail. It would have been an excellent seat except for the wind sock of a woman at the rail who was clearly working on her mating ritual for her equally-as-odd boyfriend/daddy/handler. She seemed to believe this was her time to outdo Jill, and blocked the view of nearly everyone behind her for 5/6 of the show. Outside of this foolishness, it would have been a fun night. Pro tip: don't stand in line downstairs for drinks. Go upstairs. Almost no line.
The show was great, the seating needs to accommodate larger people. The man next to me was half way in my seat. The over flow too close and he had no clue.
Love to sit in the velvet seats and enjoy the show!very cool Arabic style theater. The ceiling was amazing showing blue sky. Sound effects were perfect. Next time I want to try balcony section. There are many famous shows throughout the year. Come experience .
Saw Wicked here. Was amazing. Great vibes even in the bathroom.
Gorgeous inside, but security is a bit overbearing.
We really enjoyed our self we took our niece and we all had a great night there was a booster for our niece she loved everyinute of the show
Went to see Dungeon Family show on 4/20, to my surprise the Fox staff let the good times roll. Great time and the marquee club is a must before the show!
Awesome experience always... Alvin Ailey dance production!
