About Apollo Theater in NYC

The Apollo Theater is a historic music venue located in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City. It is one of the most famous and influential theaters in the United States, renowned for its significant role in promoting African-American talent and culture. Here’s all you need to know about the Apollo Theater:

 

  • History: The Apollo Theater was originally designed and built in 1913-1914 as the Hurtig & Seamon’s New Burlesque Theater. However, in 1934, it was reopened as the Apollo Theater and became a showcase for African-American performers during a time when racial segregation was prevalent in the entertainment industry.
  • Amateur Night: One of the most iconic aspects of the Apollo Theater is its Amateur Night. This talent competition started in 1934 and continues to this day. Amateur Night has launched the careers of numerous renowned artists, including Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, and many others.
  • Music and Performances: The Apollo Theater has been a stage for various musical genres, including jazz, R&B, gospel, soul, hip-hop, and more. It has hosted legendary acts like Duke Ellington, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, and countless others. Today, the theater hosts a diverse range of performances, including concerts, comedy shows, dance, and theatrical productions.
  • Renovation: The Apollo Theater underwent a major renovation in 2005 to restore its historical integrity and modernize its facilities. The project included upgrades to the stage, dressing rooms, audience seating, and the addition of new sound and lighting systems. The renovation aimed to enhance the overall experience while preserving the theater’s unique character.
  • Apollo Walk of Fame: Outside the theater, the Apollo Walk of Fame honors influential artists who have made significant contributions to African-American culture and the performing arts. The walk features plaques embedded in the sidewalk, celebrating icons such as Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, and many others.
  • Cultural Significance: The Apollo Theater played a crucial role in the development and popularization of African-American music, particularly during the Harlem Renaissance and the Civil Rights Movement. It has served as a platform for black artists to showcase their talents, challenge racial stereotypes, and gain mainstream recognition.
  • Apollo Education Programs: The theater is committed to education and community outreach. The Apollo offers a range of educational programs, including workshops, masterclasses, artist residencies, and initiatives focused on youth development. These programs aim to nurture emerging talent, promote arts education, and provide opportunities for young artists.

The Apollo Theater remains an iconic institution that continues to shape the cultural landscape of New York City and beyond. Its rich history, legendary performances, and commitment to showcasing diverse voices have solidified its place as a symbol of African-American excellence and artistic achievement.

Best Seats

The Apollo Theater in New York City offers a variety of seating options, and the “best” seats can depend on personal preference and the type of performance you’re attending. However, here are some general considerations:

 

  • Orchestra Front Row: The front row of the orchestra section provides an up-close and immersive experience. You’ll be closest to the stage and have an excellent view of the performers.
  • Orchestra Center: The center section of the orchestra offers a balanced view and optimal sound quality. These seats often provide a great perspective, as they are positioned directly facing the stage.
  • Mezzanine: The mezzanine section, located one level above the orchestra, can provide a broader view of the stage. These seats offer a good vantage point and often have excellent sightlines.
  • Box Seats: The Apollo Theater has a few box seats, which are usually located on the sides of the theater. These seats offer a unique viewing angle and can provide a more private and intimate experience.
  • Balcony: The balcony section, situated above the orchestra and mezzanine, may offer a more elevated view of the stage. While the distance from the stage is greater, the balcony seats can still provide a good overall view and are often more affordable.

When selecting seats, it’s essential to consider personal preferences. Some people prefer being closer to the action, while others may prefer a broader view of the entire stage. Additionally, consider the acoustics of the theater and any potential obstructions, such as pillars or overhangs, that may affect your view.

It’s also worth noting that the Apollo Theater is a relatively intimate venue, so even seats further back can still offer an enjoyable experience. Ultimately, the “best” seats will vary depending on your preferences and the specific performance you’re attending.
