No parking too many people walking buy area is noisy
Not enough leg room, no food to purchase after a long wait and Alicia Keyes must've been sweating along with us because the air quality was horrible!! I was waiting for Oprah Winfrey to yell out, " You get a fan, you get a fan and YOU get a fan!!! This whole theatre is getting a fan"
This place have rats and it's nice to see people come out into the neighborhood. You don't get to see all the time but for the price of money and a small place that it is I say Apollo is great but they need to fix it because it has many rats and broken seats and is uncomfortable lines and for this to be a star-studded place it should look like one thank you amen
Great nostalgia for the "big ones" who have moved from this theater. Pride because the only Italian who could play was Pino Daniele
Staff was rude and not welcoming from the door - a very uneven: I just wanna go home early tonight vide. Or should I say the line. The door opened late. Everyone everyone texting. Seats are TIGHT. Not a bad seat in the place. Sound system was good and the air for also enjoyable. Easy access to the bars.
Its reasonable for every one......but quality is very poor..... inside of theater not clean and picture quality is also poor .........
Line went down the block around the corner. The sound system had no control of The Mic sound throughout the entire concert. $4 for M&M, what's up with some Pop Corn.
Yes I did visit but did I get in for the show no. I was told on the phone that they had plenty tickets when I got it it was sold out
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.
Very rude and nasty tellers and usher's and pretty good performances
One of the most disgusting and smelly theaters I've ever seen. As soon as you enter it seems to be in a toilet and the actors just suck

About Apollo
Welcome to Harlem's World Famous Apollo Theater! The Soul of American Culture!
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!
