Fox Theatre Presents Summer Dinners, Tonight and 8/24

This summer, the Fabulous Fox Theatre will present two unique and exclusive dining events featuring cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, 4-course dinners with accompanying wines, and live entertainment in the Grand Lobby of the Fabulous Fox Theatre.

Tonight, July 27, the Fox will host Dinner with the Stars: A Taste of Old Hollywood. Tom Heitman, a Sinatra Songbook specialist, will perform an "Homage to Frank Sinatra." The evening is a very special opportunity to sample recipes from former Hollywood's haunts: Chasen's, The Brown Derby, Ma Maison and Romanoff's.

On Saturday, August 24, the Fox will also host Dinner with Josephine Baker & Friends: An Evening in Paris. This evening will transport guests to the "City of Light" to enjoy a sumptuous French culinary repast. Direct from New York, Cheryl Howard will give a special performance as the sensational Josephine Baker. Ce sera magnifique!

For each dinner, cocktails will be served at 7:00pm and dinner will be served at 8:00pm. Guests will be seated at tables of eight. Cocktail attire is requested.

Tickets for both dinners are available by calling 314-535-2369 or online at metrotix.com. Tickets are $300 each and include pre-dinner cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, a four-course dinner with accompanying wines, live entertainment, and reserved parking. Reservations for each dinner are limited to 100 people. For more information and complete menus visit fabulousfox.com/dinners.

These two Legendary Summer Dinners will provide the public the opportunity to visit the Fox Theatre during the current restoration of the auditorium ceiling. The entire auditorium has been scaffolded from floor to ceiling to allow for a complete cleaning, touch up painting and fabric repair to restore the ceiling to its original 1929 splendor. The restoration will be completed in early September just in time to kick off the Fox Theatre's 31st Broadway Season. Public tours of the theatre will be available between June 25 and August 16. An "unveiling" of the auditorium is also planned for September. Additional information will be available at a later date.
