The Fabulous Fox Theatre St Louis is one of St. Louis's most distinctive historic theatres, opened in 1929 as an opulent movie palace and restored in the early 1980s. It is renowned for its richly decorated Siamese-Byzantine architecture, monumental façade and elaborate ornamental details that distinguish it from conventional modern performance halls. With more than 4,000 seats, the venue is large enough for major touring productions and is particularly associated with Broadway musicals, concerts, comedy and other live performances.
The interior continues the lavish character of the exterior, with a large auditorium arranged across several levels, including orchestra, mezzanine and balcony seating. Ornate ceilings, columns and decorative features create the atmosphere of a grand historic theatre, while the substantial stage is designed to accommodate technically demanding touring productions. Different seating levels provide a variety of views toward the stage, and foyers, bars and other guest facilities contribute to the overall experience before and during an event.
The theatre is located in the Grand Center arts district at 527 N Grand Blvd, St. Louis, United States, at the corner of Grand Boulevard and Washington Avenue. The main entrances are on Grand Boulevard, while the Fabulous Fox Parking Garage stands directly across Washington Avenue, providing a short walk to the theatre doors. MetroBus Route 70 travels along Grand Boulevard beside the venue, and Grand is the nearest MetroLink station.
