Apollo Reviews

It had Great Audience Participation. Had a great time and a Lot of Fun

Yearly tradition to stop on by for a late June Amateur Night show. Great talent, great show, talent and staff ~

Awesome, great, amazing. To do and do again without moderation in this mythical place.

I love the Apollo. The talent show every Wednesday evening is the best you can do in Harlem. The vibe is unique and incredible & the artists are always wonderful.

Historic landmark in Harlem! If you're anywhere around 125th, you have to stop by the Apollo Theater.

Great friendly staff, they were very helpful & courteous. Seats are a little uncomfortable but it was well worth the trip & being in an establishment that is such an important part of history.

Showed up on my first trip to New York City. It was during the holidays and there were Christmas singers outside. A man was outside and said we could come in, visit the gift shop. But, this woman stopped me as I tried to come through. She seemed bitter amd was not too friendly. We left. Oh well.

My son's high school graduation was held here and it was a great experience. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Historical place in the history of American music, where several icons have emerged thanks to the shows of new talents that happens until today! Worth a guided tour and if possible, attend a presentation there!

Can't believe I'm in my seventies and this is the first time I've ever been to this remarkable theater.

Mythical ... amateur evening but with a professional presentation, sorted amateurs, an American atmosphere and finally the pleasure of participating in the legend of this place

Wednesday November 23, 2016 @ the Apollo theater , started out exciting . The top dog acts were amazing and then the bullshit . How can you bluntly cheat the real winners . The young girl that sang Angela Davis son We rise , was outer this world yet she lost . BS. Then the violinist lost BS. Shame on you Capone for being a part of the Bullshit .

Only got to see it from the outside, but a great place of history.

I LOVE THIS PLACE BECAUSE IT'S SUCH AN HISTORICAL PLACE FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN, AND WOMEN TO EXPRESS THEIR TALENTS!

Legendary concert hall located in the heart of New York's Harlem, where the greatest blues, jazz, soul and gospel orchestras and musicians performed.
Aretha Franklin, Duke Ellington, Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzie Gillespie or Count Basie contributed to making the Apollo Theater the most relevant club for African American music in North America.
The Amateur Night, which started in 1934 and is still going on, is an emerging talent contest where great music stars such as James Brown, The Jackson Five, Stivie Wonder or the aforementioned Ella Fitzgerald were discovered.
Station 125st. from lines A and D of the metro is located a few meters from the theater.

Manhattan Borough President, Gale Brewer, hosted her 2018 Black History event. It was wonderful and well attended.

Mythical hall of Harlem. But you really have to choose your show! The sound system is not very good, it sizzles a little, in any case that evening.
As we were very far ahead and hungry, that the concert hall does not have a bar, they recommended a coffee, very nice, not far away, Maison Harlem.
Still a good evening

A landmark of Harlem and New York City! So much beautiful history... it's a must...

Good times with Steve Harvey on and off the stage doing all we love and enjoy. Ze'Scu'Stie and not Denise Brinson.

Always a great experience at the Apollo. The curators do a great job with the acts that they bring to this venue. The seating, lighting and sound is great.

Was glad to just see the outside of this historical place. Visited during my Birthday weekend in New York City

One of the great theatrical experiences is Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater Harlem. Great atmosphere, audience participation and compering.

Old classic New York theater, where to succeed in music, it was essential to go through there.

First time to Apollo, wasn't able to see any performances because we were there during the day. The staff were very kind. Best of luck Apollo.

It was fantastic! Graleat time with the holiday events

This is the most iconic place in New York. My Son performed there at the age of 7, on Apollo Kids.

Great experience, outstanding performances, and lively environment! Capone was hilarious!

Legendary and still amazing place. Beautiful energy

Saw from street, didn t get a chance to go in, iconic place. Enjoyed seeing the impressive stars in front of the Theater.

Jazi B-the Entertainer's New Home Away From Home. I Always Loved The Apollo Now My Children Do Also. #futureapollolegend

Really nice venue to see a show. Only reason it didn't get the fifth star is because on the mezzanine level your view can get blocked by barricade or people's heads.

Was their for Monique mother's day comedy special which was beautiful, hat's off to u mo keep doing ur thing!!!!

Wednesday amateur night. If you visit, Wednesday is good.

In the sixties and seventies the club suffered a heavy decline, but reinvigorated in 1983 thanks to new funds. He re-opened completely in 1985 and in 1991 he was bought by the city of New York, who gave it to Apollo Theater Foundation Inc.

1st timer from new york. Went to see the read live and it was a great experience all around. The staff were great and accommodating. The legendary apollo theater, thank you.

It s a nice theater, I don t like how close the space are to one another and leaving no room to actually be comfortable, I guess the experience is a lot better because it s a remarkable landmark.

Is able to get up on the stage and rub the log that was really a big deal for me.

"This Is Hip Hop" at The Apollo Theater returned many classics. Legendary

If you don't give this place 5 stars, you are a racist. Thanks Obama!

It was very entertaining and the set up is roomy enough to eat and see the stage from any vantage point.

Great and mythical NYC theater, a mandatory stop on a visit to Harlem. They don't let anything in but the lobby, and what's more, a pretty nasty lady kicked us out. But that does not mean that we did not like the visit.

An historic theater a Mecca of Harlem a must see place

This is one of those rare classy theater, better visit before they close down.

The world's famous Apollo theater. Historic venue a must visit if you are visiting New York..

Beautiful historic Theater.
I went there for the Africa Now music night and it was awesome

One of the greatest experiences in a historic place. Billy A.k.a. Mr Apollo guided us with his humble and gracious personality, through the origins of this shrine of Jazz, Soul and R&B music. Strongly recommend for music lovers of all ages.

Outstanding amateur night show. Every seat seemed to be good.

The history of Harlem.
From here the best came out.
