The Aurora Fox never ceases to amaze. They put on high quality productions every time. It is a nice intimate theater to see a play. Some plays and musicals make you laugh, cry or think and some do all three.

The lobby was too small for the size of the gathering of the Miscast ticket holders, so it was uncomfortable waiting to be seated. Once you are seated though, you are immersed into.the show.If you get the chance to check out Miscast next year, I highly recommend it. Such a fun mixup of performances with a wonderful cast and crew raising money to support a program that helps Denver actors with their medical bills.

It would be easy to drive by the Fox. It rests on an electric and somewhat rundown stretch of a classic Denver East-West corridor. But to miss or dismiss the Fox is to miss a theater gem of the Rockies. From experimental immersive theater to regional theater classics, the Fox brings life and art and love and community together. The funky building just serves to remind everyone that this is one city with one theater that is bigger than the sum of its parts.

What a surprise! I went here on a field trip with my child and we pulled up to a very unassuming theater only to have a lovely music and story show with members of the Colorado Symphony. It was such an intimate setting with a very kid friendly cast. I highly recommend this place

Great local theater that doesnt shy away from controversial topics. I recently saw HOODED OR BEING BLACK FOR DUMMIES and I really enjoyed how they were able to weave together humor and social and racial issues in a really powerful way. The theater is small, but it is great for really connecting with the actors on stage. Do yourself a favor and catch a show and support local theater!

I saw Hooded here recently and I loved it. It is so refreshing to see theater that is fresh and is not shy away from touchy subject matter. Please keep it up. I hope that the next play Life Sucks is as good.

I had a wonderful time at the fox and it was my first time there. And if it wasnt for Lisa Young I dont think I would have been there Lisa Young did an awesome job and the young lady who played the daughter of caroline awesome job!!! And for the rest of the cast awesome I especially liked the use of kids!!!

This theatre is exactly what you would expect going to a small community theatre in Aurora. As long as you accept it for what it is, you wont be disappointed.The amenities here are somewhat lacking. The chairs in the theatre itself are oddly small. There are no cup holders either. The lobby got pretty packed before they let everyone into theatre. The drink prices were much more reasonable than any of the downtown theatres though ($4 for a basic wine or beer versus the $6+ downtown),We saw American Idiot here and really enjoyed the show itself. They did start it about 5-10 minutes late, which I guess is normal for this theatre. We werent in a rush to start watching it right at 7:30 so it didnt really bother us.One thing that I thought was a nice touch: we got an email the day of the show from Ignite Theatre, thanking us for choosing them, telling us when we could arrive, and letting us know where to park. It even included a link to the little parking map on their website, highlighting the best parking locations.Considering the production value and ticket prices, well definitely return.

Went here for the first time last week to watch Dracula the play with my wife for date night. Inside and outside of the Fox are like night and day. Inside is nice and cozy, they offer a limited bar with drinks and snacks, and it wasnt too hot or too cold inside, even as people started filling the seats. Being a bigger guy, the seats were a little small for me, and the chairs share armrests with the seats next to them. Since I am a nice guy I pretty my wife have the armrest to my left and the older woman on my right have that armrest, so I sat all night with my hands in my lap. People inside were nice and friendly. Outside was a completely different story. When myself and about a dozen others went out to smoke during intermission, a group of people walked by, obviously drunk or high, and started harassing people. There was a security guard standing right there that did nothing, he thought it was funny. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is interested in live musicals, my only advice is to get in and out, dont hang out outside unless you want a drunk guy hitting on your girlfriend.. I recommend the Fox Theater, but not the area it is located in.

Its the worst place to take a child learning how to do stage plays. They proctect the bullies and not the victims. My granddaughter is an eight year who was attacked by a bully and I was asked not to enter the building anymore because I complained. My granddaughter was not the only one being bullied but she was the youngest. So we pulled her from the Adventure of Alice in Wonderland play this summer 2018.

Symphony played Gershwin here, we sat in the back of the balcony in the middle and the sound was fine. Great preformance by the symphony. Gershwin is hard to play as there are many interesting change ups. Cannot see the musicians that well from there but the view of the entire hall is great. Wesley Leffingwell was fantastic! Piano. All our thanks goes to Norman Gamboa, Conductor.

This was my first time visiting this theatre and I went to see The Wiz. The show was pretty good but the theater itself is very dated. From what staff was saying, the production will be going away soon. All-in-all, Id say this would be a good place to take your children for a play.

Great little theater. Awesome drink/snack prices. Long bathroom lines at intermission. May have to park where homeless people watch you if you cant find a parking spot in the theatre parking. Made me nervous to walk a block to the theatre.Irritated that I had to stand in line when I prepurchased my ticket.

Review №86

This is a lovingly maintained old theater in the heart of Aurora. It is a small, intimate venue that hosts wonderful live theatre events throughout the year. Parking is sometimes a challenge, but if you are there on the weekends you can use the city lot next door.Ive seen two musicals here, and both were wonderful. The theatre troupe that is in residence here is talented and puts their own touch to the stories they portray. Their production of Dracula, around Halloween 2016, was very well produced (the larger gent who played the American almost stole the show with his smarmy portrayal, as did the mousey actor playing Van Helsing).Prices for these showings were moderate, off-Broadway pricing not out of line for the quality of the productions. Set pieces are imaginative, and they do a lot with the narrowish stage they have in the building.In general, bravo for a big-city theatre experience in a small-town like venue. I await my next trip out East on Colfax for another pleasant night of theatre!

Review №88

We were long time patrons of the Fox. We ended up becoming season ticket holders and the first few shows were great. Then a mistake by the staff left us unable to see a show we had a reservation/ticket for. Most of the staff were extremely apologetic, but the main woman I ended up speaking to who arranged all of our dates for the season (who actually made the error) was defensive and practically blamed me for the mistake. She offered a free show as the other show was no longer available. What she didnt offer was a genuine apology. She was unable to accept responsibility for her error. We never returned. Sorry, we will stick with DCPA and the Arvada Center at this point. We wanted to support local theatre, but you dont treat us like that and expect a returning patron.
