Opened in 1928 as the flagship of the Fox chain, this Woodward Avenue movie palace is now a National Historic Landmark hosting Broadway tours, concerts and comedy. Inside, you find Art Deco mixed with Burmese, Indian, Persian and Chinese motifs, a six-story lobby and a 13-foot glass chandelier. Its Wurlitzer organ is one of the few theatre organs still in its original installation, and the hall seats more than 5,000.
