Fox Theatre - Atlanta

The historic Fox Theatre is located on Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta and serves as an iconic landmark for locals and visitors alike.

It boasts the residence of the largest working Möller theatre organ in the world, "Mighty Mo," which can be experienced prior to Broadway shows and other select events.
