I'm a Spokane local. The restoration of the Fox Theater was a service to the entire community. Our symphony is world class. The ticket price compared to music in most urban areas is quite reasonable. I'm not a classical music fan, on the whole, but I will see the Spokane Symphony. They're that good. The venue doesn't have a bad... More

Beautiful place, great sound, great staff. BUT , half of the seating is designed for people who are about 5'2" tall. If you are anywhere near 6 ft tall , you have to sit in the front half of the place.

If you get an opportunity to attend one of the Spokane Symphony performances here, go and enjoy the music but take time to also appreciate this stunning art-decco beauty. It is a splendidly restored treasure from Spokane's glorious past and shouldn't be missed. If you are attending a performance, it is wise to know that the space between the seats... More

The restored Fox Theater is magnificent--unlike anything within several hundred miles, if not the whole West. Great music courtesy of the Spokane Symphony, a jewel hidden deep within the jewelry case of this magnificent building. Highly recommended. Lots of great restaurants and hotels (The Davenport for one) very close by. Enjoy!

The viewing is great from any seat in the house but do take time to walk about the theater is see how authentically it has been restored. A very special place to attend a performance with someone special.

This is a small theatre which is great but I would suggest that you don't get seats close to the stage. From that point the stage sits up so high that we were just looking at Frank Sinatra Jr's feet. It was difficult to look up the whole time to see the show. There was also a very drunk loud... More

Spokane Symphony's venue. Excellent place for a concert and just to look at the Art Deco inside.

Beautiful setting for the classic symphony, not a bad seat in the house. Everything that appears here is perfect.
