Thanks to the many dedicated individuals who worked to save and restore the Fox Theater. With the growth of the new downtown, the Fox will take its place as the true centerpiece of the downtown scene. A great place for a concert or a classic movie.

Last night, my husband and I enjoyed the New Belgium Beer & Film Festival at the Fox Tucson Theater. The event was attended by 700+ people and we enjoyed sampling different local beers, food pairings and mixing with the crowd. The theater has been restored and the decor along with the chandlers is absolute breathtaking. I noticed at least two... More

The Fox is a really lovely restored theatre and we both quite enjoyed attending the Jeff Bridges concert. However, two issues that were very annoying : 1. People entering and leaving the theatre throughout the performance. Very disturbing to the other patrons and little consideration for the performers. 2. Very noisy and a number of drunk people. Suggestion : Organize... More

This theater is famous for its classic art deco influenced by ancient Egyptian art and architecture. Tours are sometimes available and are a pleasant experience. The Fox is a gem on its own, but it is also a great venue for the class acts that often visit Tucson.

They came close to tearing this down several years ago, but ended up preserving it. It is very lovely inside and takes tou back to the "good old days " of movie theaters. Lots happening here.

Liked: The decor of the house. The walls, seats and floor are beautiful. The staff of folks who greeted everyone with warm greetings. Disliked: The folks who walked in after the concert started shouting that the concert must have started on time instead of commenting on their own lateness, they sat next to us and started shouting out the scores...

I am still very upset about the lack of security at Fox Theater for the Aaron Lewis concert of March 7th, 2013 and I think Tucson should be made aware of the problem. Fox Theater keeps deleting my posts on their Facebook page and has not responded to my email. The Explorer, who reported on the concert, conveniently left the... More
