About

One of the grandest surviving movie palaces in America. The Fox seats 4,500 and features Byzantine-Moorish interiors of extraordinary opulence.

History

The Fox opened January 31, 1929. C. Howard Crane designed the theater in an extravagant Byzantine-Moorish style for theater magnate William Fox. It closed in 1978 and faced demolition before a restoration campaign saved it. Reopened in 1982, it is now one of the busiest Broadway touring houses in the country.
