The Fabulous Fox Theatre opened on January 31, 1929 as one of the crown jewels in William Fox's motion picture empire. Billed as "St. Louis' largest and most magnificent temple of amusement," the Fox dazzled and delighted millions of people for nearly 50 years with films, stage shows, concerts, radio shows, special events and world premieres, before closing in 1978. In 1981 the Fox was privately purchased by Fox Associates and an incredible one-year restoration project was launched to bring the Siamese-Byzantine splendor of the Fox back to life. The Fox reopened its doors with the musical "Barnum" on September 7, 1982 to a capacity crowd of 4,500. The meticulous restoration of the Fox was recognized by The National Trust of Historical Preservation with a 1983 National Trust Honor Award. Since 1982, more than 18 million people have passed through the brass doors of the Fox to see Broadway shows; pop, rock, country and comedy concerts; dance companies and gospel plays; family productions and classic movies. The Fabulous Fox continues to provide St. Louis audiences with the best of everything and something for everyone.
