Fox Theatre (2211 Woodward Ave. Detroit, MI 48201-3467) near Grand Circus Park in downtown Detroit, Michigan is a National Historic Landmark from the Roaring Twenties located within the Detroit Theatre District. With 5045 seats, it is the second largest theater in the country after the Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The Detroit Fox is the largest of the Fox Theaters. Built in 1928 for William Fox, founder of 20th Century Fox, it was the first movie palace to have live sound. The architect, C. Howard Crane, designed a lavish interior blend of Burmese, Chinese, Indian and Persian motifs. There are three levels of seating, the Main Floor above the orchestra pit, the Mezzanine, and the Gallery (balcony). The exterior of the 10-story building features an Art Deco facade, which at night is illuminated and can be seen for several blocks.
In 1988 the theater was cleaned and fully restored by its owners Mike and Marian Ilitch. Ilitch Holdings, Inc. is headquarter in the Fox Theater Office Building. The area of downtown Detroit which encompasses Fox Theatre is named Foxtown after the theater, and is bounded by Greektown to the east and Campus Martius to the south. In 2000 Comerica Park opened and helped to revitalize the area along with Ford Field in 2002. The Fox is Detroit's top venue for Broadway shows. Source wikipedia
