The Fabulous Fox Theatre

527 N Grand Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63103 · St. Louis, MO

Why you should go…

They don't call it "Fabulous" for nothing: this 1929 Siamese-Byzantine movie palace on Grand Boulevard is one of the most opulent theatres in America, dripping with gilded ornament and glowing chandeliers. Today it hosts touring Broadway shows, comedians and concerts. Arrive early just to gawk at the lobby, it's a show before the show.

Good to know

General theatre & events guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Curtain time is firm

    Latecomers are commonly held at the back until a scene break, so build in a buffer.

  • Study the seating chart

    Price and sightline vary a lot within the same house. A few rows back can be the better seat.

  • Rush and lottery seats exist

    Many venues release same-day tickets at a discount if you are flexible about where you sit.

  • Arrive with time to spare

    Parking, bag check, and finding your row all take longer than you think on a full house.
