Originally opened as a movie theater in 1929, the Fox Theatre and Tours cost USD6-million, an incredible sum at a time when movie tickets cost 35 cents. The theater was restored to its original glory in 1981. View the wall of famous signatures, the 2,000-pound chandelier in the auditorium and the gilded throne chairs in the lobby. Tours are conducted Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 10:30am. Thursday and Saturday tours include entertainment by Stan Kann on the world-famous Wurlitzer organ. Broadway hits such as "Phantom of the Opera," along with famous comedians and musicians have been featured here in recent performances.

Terrible Sightlines in the balcony.

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/03/06

The theatre is fine, however the sight lines in the balcony are completely dreadful. They have tried to cram too many seats in there, and it has resulted in not being able to see over the seat in front of you. The person in front of you moves to one side of their seat to see, so you have to move, the person behind you moves, and so on. Even with that, there was still no way to see the entire stage. Good thing I had seen the show before to know what was going on.

FOX

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/12/06

I have never been on a tour of the fox, but i have gone to several shows there on tour. It is a beautiful theater that i think is a architectural achievment. Look at the cieling and wall above the main doors.
