Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox

This restored theatre is an amazing venue for downtown concerts in Spokane. The location is very simple to get to from in town and out of towners.
I watched the Christmas show from the Brian Setzer Orchestra which was an amazing show, there’s not real bad seats in the house. We had an amazing view of the guitar slinging legend of rockabilly along with his rockin big band.

I saw the Nutcracker tonight at The Fox theater. It was a fantastic ballet and live music in Spokane ! I love bringing my children to the Nutcracker. It makes for a nice quality time. Plus, it’s fun to spend a nice night out with delicious cupcakes and hot cocoa. Thank you to all performers and musicians! Bravo! I’ll be dreaming of sugar plums tonight.

This is one of the most beautiful spaces I have ever been in. Art Deco gorgeousness for days! It is a true must see in downtown Spokane. I still regret not doing my wedding reception at this location **cough**many years ago** but they hadn’t quite finished the renovation… I should have delayed the wedding!

I don’t know the full range of events that you can see at the Fox, but I will tell you this: it is a beautiful, dignified space. It simultaneously feels like a large hall and a cozy, personal venue. The décor is great, the ushers are helpful, and the seats are comfortable.
After watching Manhattan Transfer at the Fox last night, I am definitely eager to go back (for the right performer, of course).

Hard to believe this place doesn’t have more reviews. As unique and beautiful a theater as I’ve seen in America. Intimate space that is also strikingly beautiful and detailed. Lobby is well sized and the location perfect for before or after dining/​drinking.

Architecture: beautiful, not enough time to admire it really. Don’t know the history of this place, but it’s something else lemme tell ya’
I took my wife to see the whitworth choir and they did not disappoint… For the most part. I’m not into opera singers.

I am so glad to see they have not tore down the Fox. I have lived through many years coming here, going to plays, movies, etc…

Saw Ben Folds with the Spokane Symphony. WOW! What a great show and theater. I have been going to the Fox since I was a kid and this is the best I have ever seen it. The transformation from shit, to a thing of beauty is amazing! Our seats were great and looking around I don’t think there could have been horrible seats. The sound, the lighting the staff A+

I have been in a number of Theaters and performance arts locations in my life and the Fox Theater does look very very nice. It has retained its amazing acoustics as I was in town for concert and I was able to perfectly hear everything during the band’s unplugged portion even sitting in the balcony. The architecture can definitely be dated because there is an «lounge» area in between the foyer and stairs area on the first floor and the auditorium, you do not see those anymore due to theaters wanting to maximize seating. And the drinks inside were not even bad at all, I had a beer and a bottle of water for mere dollars I remember some places charging me $ 5 for a bottle of water but it could just be Spokane.
Unfortunately, the Fox Theater’s recent renovation makes it seem too new, yes the bare bone architecture is magnificent but the glossy paint and the new modern touches really cover up some of the things that would make this place really standout even more, see The Music Hall in Plymouth, NH for truly amazing theater renovation. The only other complaints are that the seats are really really small, I m 5’11″ fairly built guy and my knees were hurting as I pretty packed in there sitting for 2 ½ hours. The usher directed me to the wrong seat and I had to get up and move after I had gotten settle down with a friend, totally not cool.

I was lucky enough to perform in Tosca at this theater fresh after renovations. It is beautiful! The art deco is truly inspiring and the theater brings you back to a grander time. The renovations are marvelous. The sound quality in the theater is beautiful. I highly recommend seeing a show here if you have the chance.
If you are a performer, this theater is beautiful and fairly easy to work in. With tables set up, the backstage was a little cramped for the choir, but the PA system is clear and the dressing rooms are large. I always think it is fun to perform in a historic theater as well!

Thank goodness the Spokane Symphony has stepped in to save this Spokane jewel. First the city nearly lost the Davenport then this historic stunner. I’ve only visited the Fox when it was a cinema offering $ 2 shows, but the interior was breathtaking. The Art Deco style was something one might find in the ficticious Gotham City – absolutely stunning. I’ll never forget the popcorn guy who knew to put a small bit of popcorn in the tub, slather it with butter, mix well, then add more popcorn and top with butter. Ahhhhh… I think about this guy often. He’s probably the same fellow who went on to develop the butter-​it-​yourself concept at the new cinemas.
This palace is currently undergoing a $ 15 million restoration. If you’ve never been in the Fox, make it your mission. It will literally make your jaw drop. You will never believe that something this beautiful existed right under your nose.
