The Fox Theatre, a former movie palace, is a performing arts center located at 527 N. Grand Blvd.

The Fox was designed by an architect specializing in theaters, C. Howard Crane, in an eclectic blend of Asian decorative motifs sometimes called Siamese Byzantine.

Reporters in 1929 described the Fox Theatres in St. Louis and Detroit as "awe-inspiringly fashioned after Hindoo (sic) Mosques of Old India, bewildering in their richness and dazzling in their appointments ... striking a note that reverberates around the architectural and theatrical worlds.

In September 2007, the venue celebrated the 25th anniversary of its re-opening with a concert featuring Brian Stokes Mitchell and Linda Eder and a day of the theater showing movies in a throwback to its beginnings.

Filmed and recorded while on tour promoting his 1990 album The Wild Places, Dan Fogelberg's June 25, 1991 performance at the Fox was later released in October of the same year as the concert film and live album Dan Fogelberg Live: Greetings from the West.

The theatre played host to the politically motivated Vote for Change Tour on October 6, 2004, featuring a performance by Pearl Jam.

The hit NBC show America's Got Talent came to the Fox Theatre March 8 to March 10, 2012 to film 5 tapings where over 75 contenders stepped in front of the three celebrity judges, Howie Mandel, Sharon Osbourne, Howard Stern, and host Nick Cannon.

The smaller lobby organ has two manuals and 11 ranks and had been originally installed in the Majestic Theatre in East St. Louis, Illinois, in 1930.
