This is a wonderful venue, intimate yet the architecture will leave you in awe. Not a bad seat in the house and the acoustics are amazing. It’s clearly been lovingly restored and maintained, a real historical treasure.

What a great pair - the Spokane Symphony and the Martin Woldson Theater at the Fox! It's a huge venue, and we've sat in several places, from the balconies to the main floor, and all of them have great sound. The theatre is gorgeous, and the symphony's performances are amazing. Together they are one of city's jewels.

I just love the Fox Theater. I wasn't in Spokane early enough to remember the theater in its original state, but I do remember it's being subdivided into movie theaters....ugly and the seat I sat in the last time I was there put a hole in the back of my jeans. What a transformation it was, thanks to the Spokane Symphony and the state of Washington. The theater is a jewel. Tony Bennett was the second guest to grace the restored house and the evening was spell-binding. He said it had the best acoustics he'd ever experienced....and that's saying something. He sang one number acapella without amplification and it filled the house. Michelle Obama visted the theater when on the campaign trail for the president's first term and I'll always remember her face when she stepped out on stage. She was awed by the theater's beauty and remarked as such. The Fox is a treasure both because it is a deco work of art and fbecause its acoustics are phenomenal. I recently saw Pink Martini there. Wonderful.

Every seat gave great view of stage and acoustics, but they ran out of beer and water by intermission. Great downtown location close to hotels and restaraunts.

We attended the Spokane Symphony-Hitcock's Psycho even, which was absolutely top-notch. We were in the front seats on the loge level. The restored decor, the size of the stage, and the seating are all excellent.

Heard Spokane Symphony here -- an excellent ensemble. They offered Mahler Five, a stunning work, stunningly done. Acoustics are excellent. Interior is over-the-top art deco.

This is a national treasure! It's beautiful sounding, looking, is comfortable, and interesting in every way. I just love it! There isn't a bad seat in the house. Just get there early to admire the decor. Walk, drive, take a train, take a plane... get there and experience the Fox.

Do they offer tours of the theater?
Written December 12, 2019
Yes, the Fox offers tours but not on a regular basis.
Call them to see when the next tour is.
Written December 13, 2019
Hi,
Yes, you can. We didn't purchase before we purchased at intermission.
Have fun!

The original organ for the theater (movies before talkies) was sold many years ago. However, the owner was willing to donate it back at the time of the restoration. The offer was declined based on new stage configuration for live performing/no place to put it, etc. I believe some of the original pipes are still there behind walls. That's what I was told...

Are the front seats a good location to sit for a musical? Or would the orchestra pit be a distraction? Are they too close to take in the whole show?
Written April 10, 2018
For a musical, I would recommend sitting several rows back to get the full scope of the production. I've sat in the front row at a concert, and while a neat experience to be so close, it does make it difficult to catch the full range of activity on the stage. Sitting back 5-10 rows might make for a better experience.
