How is the Fox Theater in Atlanta? — Page 2

That's good. I got row F in the Orchestra for Brooklyn. Can't wait. Now I have to figure out how much gas is going to cost...

The Theatre is great it sticks out from the street like a soar thumb. I sat in Row p for Rent those were were pretty good seats.

I adore the Fox. It's the one place I can go to in Atlanta that makes me happy to be a Georgian. It's so beautiful. I will never forget the shows I've seen there.

Les Mis
Jekyll and Hyde
Cats
Phantom of the Opera
Aida
Mamma Mia
Evita
My Fair Lady

By far, Jekyll and Hyde and Evita were the best productions I saw.

its quite a drive to Lenox Square mall, which is in Buckhead.

The north avenue train station is a block south and a block west of the Fox. The quickest way to lenox from the Fox is to get on 75/85 north, stay on 85 north at the split and get off at Buford Highway. Take Buford Highway to Lenox Road and make a left. The Mall will be just over the bridge, about three miles on the left. It should take you about ten minutes with good traffic flow.

It is a grand theater! We just saw Chicago there in June and it was such a great venue. I was bummed because we could only get seats in row U, but once inside they were not bad seats at all. I am used to front row or so in NYC so yes, a bit spoiled on seating but it gave us a different perspective to have the seats we did and we could appreciate the building as well.

I refer you to my previous post.

Scratch getting on Lenox Rd. to 85. It's much easier to get follow the signs to GA400 from the mall. Get on GA400 south. It will say it is a toll but it isn't for you. Take 400 south as it will merge into 85 south. Just south of where 85 merges with 75, you're going to want to get over to the right and get off at North Ave/GA Tech. Make a left on North, cross over Spring St and then West Peachtree, then Make a left onto Peachtree (it says you can't make the left, I always do it, its pointless.) The Fox will be up two blocks on the left.

There are surface lots in all directions outward from the Fox. The most expensive one is the one on the right side of the building, this is the closest but it can be a bit of a hassle getting out of when the show ends because it's so congested. This lot currently costs $20 bucks to park in for a show. Behind the BellSouth building at the corner of West Peachtree and Ponce de Leon Avenue there is a lot that is $4 unattended or about $10 if they have an attendant. They don't have an attendeant for all shows, only big ones. This lot, thought it's a three minute walk to the theatre from it, is safe and conveniant to leaving. The Stage door is on the Ponce de Leon Avenue side of the building. From the front of the theatre, walk south towards Ponce, around the corner and down the street to the very end of the building. It's up a couple of steps on the right. IT's the last door at the end of the building on the side. You can exit the theatre through doors on the stage right side of the theatre (aka left) to get the stage door the easiest. These doors let you right out on Ponce.

Thanks so much Clark. On ticketmaster it said something about buying a ticket for $12 for parking and I thought that was a little steep, but I guess not. I'll look for the $4/$10 parking lot. Are you going to the show? Or just have a plethora of knowledge?

I always park at the Georgian Terrace (I think that's what it's called) Hotel right across from the Fox. It cost $20 for Wicked but only $12 for RENT so it should be $12 for Brooklyn I would think. It's very easy to get into and out of.

As Clark said, the easiest way to get to the stage door is to exit on the left. It's right there. There is a little set of stairs leading up to it. If you do exit the front, just take a right out of the theatre, and then your first right again and it's down the street a little bit.

Have fun! Which night are you going?

ETA: Clark- how did you get to do that?! I've been going there several times a year for about 10 years.
