"Detroit's Show Goes On Detroit's theater district is said to be the second-largest in the United States after New York City's, and the historic Fox Theatre is the nucleus of the district. Although the surrounding area exudes a cosmopolitan cool left over from the days of variety entertainment, and there's no shortage of watering holes and clubs, it's this 5,000-seat theater where you'll get the best glimpse of Detroit's past glory. Even if you're not coming for one of the frequent shows, take a minute to appreciate the interior and exterior of the U.S.'s largest surviving 1920's performing arts house."
