I put this on the Entertainment thread so I can thank y'all properly as we go...
Last night I went to see a show at Atlanta's Fabulous Fox Theater. It's worth the price of admission just to sit in that beautiful space--absolutely gorgeous.
My young friend who went with me asked me if there were other spaces in the U.S. like the Fox. She and I went to NYC in the fall, and she said that the two theaters we saw were nice, but not as lavish as the Fox. I honestly couldn't tell her for sure. I told her that I supposed that there were, but couldn't think of any off the top of my head. I know that there are some beautiful old opera houses around the country.
So--do other big cities have elaborate old palaces like our Fox? (Here's a link to some of its particulars. Interesting that it would cost upwards of $300 million...)

Wow, these theatres are beautiful. TFT, I am going to have to make a road trip to Tampa- ladies night out.That theatre is pretty cool and definitely over the top.
Oh, yeah, anytime Mangy! It would be so great to be able to tour theaters all over the country. That may be on my List, as of now. Thanks for starting the thread NoHall!
I am loving looking at all these pictures. By the way, this whole thread reminds me of the Styx Paradise Theater album. One of my all time faves!

This thread makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing that I'm not the only one who stands in amazement at theatrical architecture. 
And TFT, THANK YOU for posting the Tampa Theatre pictures. I'm SO excited to see it first hand. (You think they have a position open for an intern??

Probably not a "great" one, but my little sister works here: http://www.olneytheatre.org
It was built in 1938. She's a costumer
