From the moment that you step through the brass doors, The Fabulous Fox transports you to a world of wonder. Reminiscent of an opulent palace, the theater opened to the public in January 1929, when people could pay 50 cents to experience live entertainment, organ music, Fox Movietone News and a talkie.
Every aspect of The Fabulous Fox is visually stunning. The grand lobby was designed in the Siamese-Byzantine style, with rows of flanking columns that you would expect to find in rock-cut Buddhist monastery halls. The 4,500-seat auditorium is equally spectacular, with jewel-studded plasterwork, hand-stenciled walls, intricate cast brass, gilt paint, vibrant fabrics and velvet chairs. It’s here that eager theatergoers get to experience the magic of Broadway.
“A theater of this magnitude and this extravagance is so rare,” John O’Brien, vice president of programming and marketing at The Fabulous Fox, says. “We have one of the largest theaters in the country for touring Broadway shows, and we have more seats on the floor than the largest Broadway theater has in its entire house.”
Want to know what’s even more impressive? The Fabulous Fox fills all those seats for two-week runs of eight Broadway shows – plus, other musicals, concerts and events – every season!
“St. Louis is a theater town, and our appetite for Broadway is insatiable,” O’Brien says. “So, we absolutely punch above our weight when it comes to national tours.”
St. Louis audiences are accustomed to the best, and the upcoming season at The Fabulous Fox delivers all the feels. Which of the Broadway shows will you see this year?
