Powell Hall is a beautiful place, especially when decorated for the holidays! SLSO's Mercy Holiday Celebration has become a December favorite for us; great for both couples and families. It covers so many holiday melodies! Be sure to arrive early to enjoy the surroundings before the show.

Powell Hall is a wonderfully ornate hall built to enhance your attendance at a performance of a Symphony. Attended during the daytime and was pleasantly surprised to have complementary coffee and donuts available. I need to arrive earlier the next visit there just to admire the building!

The Fabulous Fox Theatre first opened in 1929 as a movie palace in William Fox's motion picture empire. The theatre was reopened in 1982, and today it is one of the most exquisite venues in the country to enjoy live touring Broadway shows, concerts, and comedians. We hope you'll visit us for an upcoming show or one of our guided tours!

We went to the Fox Theatre to see Diana Ross. I hadn’t been to the Fox Theatre since I was a kid, so I was a little excited about going and taking my wife for the first time. If you have never been, you’re missing a beautiful venue. The Fox is old style glamour at it’s finest. The Diana Ross concert was great as she sang all the favorites from her career. Now granted she’s not 30 anymore and she had to accommodate for the lack of range, but she did put on a show. Seeing people of every ethnic group having a good time was fun. Now we sat down on the left side on roll G and were a little disappointed in the sound quality. I think we were to close to the speakers. But still had a great time. Traffic before the concert was a mess as road construction played havoc with people trying to get close. All in all as guy from St Louis I’m proud to have the Fox Theatre as part of my home.

In it's prior life, the Fabulous Fox was known as a movie palace. It still deserves the label "Palace". In it's current life, the Fox is a host for traveling theatrical extravaganzas. The acoustics are excellent, as are the stage lights and comfortable seats. Get yourself a ticket.

The St. Louis Municipal Opera Theatre, commonly known as The Muny, is widely recognized as the oldest and largest outdoor musical theatre in the United States. Located in Forest Park, it is an amphitheatre that seats 11,000 people with about 1,500 free seats in the last nine rows that are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The Muny is to St. Louis what Ravinia is to Chicago and the Ryman Auditorium is to Nashville. The first municipally owned outdoor theatre in the country was created in 1917 when the St. Louis Advertising Club was looking for an entertainment feature for its 13th annual convention. Mayor Henry Kiel, attorney Guy Golterman and St. Louis Parks Commissioner Nelson Cunliff stepped in and pulled it off in 49 days. Since then, the Muny has featured hundreds of big names in theatre, television and film on its stage. Over the past three decades, the Fiddler on the Roof, Annie, My Fair Lady, 42nd Street, West Side Story and The Wizard of Oz have been the most popular titles, each receiving four productions since 1990. Typically, the Muny produces seven musicals in a season, which runs only in the summer from mid-June to mid-August. A date to a Muny production wouldn't be complete without a backstage tour with a knowledgeable guide.

The most interesting performers in an intimate, intriguing setting. Due to the curvature of the space, the width of seats varies a bit in the center section.
