Mr Apollo gave us a wonderful tour even though he had a family emergency to go to. It was only 4 people and he still took the time out for us because he knew we weren't from there. I have grew up watching the Apollo every night on Saturdays so going there and being on stage was very warming and meant so much to me.

Not to be missed in the heart of Harlem.
Fans at the top, with a DJ that perfectly animates the early evening and especially the evening host who keeps cutting lovers lol. A massacre. Frankly we had a great evening. We will return.

Oh my gosh! How amazing! It was great to be in this beautiful, historic theater and so much fun! The show was absolutely fantastic! Almost 3 hours of entertainment! What talent was on display! Although the audience participation was fun, I do think the group was harsh to two of the contestants, not even really giving them a fair shot to perform. That's the nature, risk, and hazard of the performing at the Apollo, though, I guess. Performers beware! It is not always fair or for the faint, feeble, or weak, so work on your rhino skin! A "no" from the audience at the Apollo doesn't mean that you're no good or you didn't deserve better. A different night and it could turn out totally different! No complaints, though. The whole experience really was great. I would definitely go again, and most certainly recommend the experience to anyone. Another fun tidbit is this: if you get there early enough and you post something on social media using their hashtag, it will show up on the big screen, so get your camera ready! Have fun! #AmateurNightApollo

They took my bottle of water while cheking in. No apologies, no excuses, "It's the policy of the theater. No beverages, including water, allowed to be brought in". Shouldn't this policy had been announced earlier, while booking?

About Apollo
Apollo: The Soul of American Culture
Welcome to the world-famous Apollo Theater, located in the heart of Harlem, New York City. For over 85 years, the Apollo has been a cultural icon and a symbol of African-American excellence. From its humble beginnings as a burlesque theater in 1914 to its current status as one of the most renowned music venues in the world, the Apollo has played an integral role in shaping American culture.
The Apollo's rich history is steeped in music and entertainment. It was here that legends like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, James Brown, and Aretha Franklin got their start. The theater's Amateur Night competition has launched countless careers and remains one of its most popular events to this day.
But it's not just about music at the Apollo. Over the years, it has also hosted comedy shows, dance performances, theatrical productions, and even political rallies. In fact, during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, many prominent activists spoke at or organized events at the theater.
Today, under new leadership since 2018 with Jonelle Procope as CEO & President who is committed to preserving its legacy while also expanding its reach into new areas such as education programs for young people interested in pursuing careers within arts management or production fields; digital content creation initiatives aimed at engaging younger audiences through social media platforms like Instagram or TikTok; partnerships with other cultural institutions around NYC including museums like MoMA PS1 where they have collaborated on exhibitions exploring themes related to Black identity politics among others.
The Apollo continues to be a vital part of Harlem's community fabric and an important contributor to American culture overall. Its impact can be felt not just within New York City but across generations and around the world thanks to its global reputation for excellence.
If you're planning a visit to New York City anytime soon or are simply looking for some inspiration from one of America's greatest cultural institutions then look no further than The Soul Of American Culture - The World Famous Apollo Theater!
