It’s the Weekend! October 24-26,2014:
While it’s not quite Halloween, there are already plenty of fall festivals and pumpkin parties happening! Many of our favorite Georgia sports teams are on away games (The Falcons are in London!) or on byes, and one might wonder what there is to do in Atlanta this weekend. Here are some of our favorite events going on in the city:
Phantom of the Opera, October 24-November 2, 2014-
Cameron Mackintosh’s spectacular new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s phenomenal musical success, The Phantom of the Opera, comes to The Fabulous Fox Theater as part of a brand new North American Tour. Hailed by critics as “bigger and better than ever before,” this production boasts many exciting special effects including the show’s legendary chandelier. The Phantom of the Opera will be performed by a cast and orchestra of 52, making this one of the largest productions now on tour.
The Fox’s 4, 678 seat theatre is one of Atlanta’s premiere venues for live entertainment. Don’t miss The Phantom of the Opera at the historic venue!
