Fabulous Fox Theater shows why it is
the premier entertainment venue with
Australian Pink Floyd Show

The Fabulous Fox Theater is well-known throughout the country for not only the beauty of the restoration of the theater, but for its role in bringing Broadway quality shows to a large audience from throughout the Midwest. 

Less widely known is the fact that The Fox is also providing a broad spectrum of entertainment that has cemented its stake as the premier entertainment venue in a large region with its presentations of some wonderful concerts and shows that enhance its 25^th Anniversary (since the restoration) season.

The recent appearance of the Australian Pink Floyd show proves it.

As one of the early-on ‘Boomers’ (I just turned 60 last year), I have a great appreciation of the true musical talent of the original Pink Floyd, which, of course, hung up the guitars and put away the lights years ago.  But, memories of the group remained.  The challenge might seem foolhardy to some—trying to emulate the music of the original group and risk comparison is a daunting prospect.

But, one of the many groups that accepted the challenge has measured up—Australian Pink Floyd—and they proved it with their visit to The Fabulous Fox.

Simply put, this was a spectacular show.  Set in the backdrop of the ornate Fox, the lights and music were outstanding.  The musicians are likely as close to the original Pink Floyd as one could ever get, so much so that with just a bit of imagination, one could be carried back in time so much so that it is possible to forget that Australian Pink Floyd is now the original group.
