"First time visiting here & seeing Joe Bonamassa front row! The Fox Theatre has been on my bucket list to see for a long time & I was in awe of the place! We finally got to see Bonamassa & he didn’t disappoint!!!! They played their a*es off. What a tight band! He was phenomenal & our hope is he’ll come back in the future. I would love to be there! Don’t pass up a chance to see this artist if you can, you will not be disappointed. Thank you to my best friend for taking me here & to see Bonamassa!! I absolutely loved it! Such an amazing, great experience!"

"4-6-25: Ive always been a huge fan of the Fox Theater . When you walk up you see the flashing lights from the signs; the esthetic draws you in. Make sure to get your pictures in front of the signs and posters. The food is still very expensive but if u want popvorn you gotta buy it. Oh and they gave a new rule about your purse size. I went to the matinee show of parade and let me tell you it was moving. I really enjoyed act two the most. I was concerned because I didn't know how they were gonna make a musical out of the Leo Frank story of the murder at the pencil factory in Atlanta, but It was "

"It’s been forever since I been here. I came last night for Cirque Du Soleil. They did their first ever Christmas show and I had to be there. It was amazing. The building was nice, very crowded though. I’ve always hated how the doors are always open, letting in the freezing air. Also wasn’t a fan of the parking situation. Their parking was $60 in the lot right next to the building. We instead found a spot on the street on the same block."
