Description

The **Fox Theatre in Detroit** is one of the city's most iconic and historic entertainment venues. Opened in 1928, it was designed by architect **C. Howard Crane** and built as a movie palace for the Fox Film Corporation. The theater is a stunning example of **exotic revival architecture**, incorporating Asian, Indian, and Persian design elements that create a breathtakingly ornate interior. With a seating capacity of over **5,000**, it remains one of the largest and most lavish theaters of its kind in the United States.

 

Over the decades, the **Fox Theatre** has hosted countless legendary performers, from **Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley** to modern stars like **Prince and Madonna**. The venue has also been a home for Broadway productions, concerts, and special events, making it a cultural hub in downtown Detroit. After undergoing a major **restoration in the 1980s**, led by the Ilitch family, the theater was returned to its original grandeur. Today, it continues to be a centerpiece for Detroit's entertainment scene, drawing audiences with its stunning décor and world-class performances.
