Reviews
"My first time there. Looks historic and nice on the inside. I sat in the upper balcony and had a good view of the stage. They held a double dutch competition there and it was great!"
"First time visiting the Apollo theater as a native New Yorker. It was a fun experience went with my friend/coworker on Amateur Night. The on-stage performances were great lots of amazing talents on displayed including a poet. Recommend it for anyone for evening social event."
"We had a tour of the Apollo. The guide presented outstanding information on the history of this theater. The students were able to go on stage and go behind stage to see the wall of signatures."
"Thought amateur night was a comedy thing, whoops. Mostly R&B music and a poet. Very entertaining. But the ladies' room line was long!"
"We came on Friday for the Tiwa Savage concert. She was 2 1/2 hours late. VERY unprofessional. The DJ was good and did his best to entertain the crowd, but after an hour wait. They switched to another DJ. She was not as good at holding the crowd. All the while asking :Are you ready for Tiwa Savage?" Then another hour wait. I paid $250 for these tickets to celebrate my husband's birthday. He was very disappointed that we arrived at the Apollo at 6:50 pm. Tiwa Savage came out at 9:50 :pm. We had reservations at SugarMonk for 10:30 pm so we didn't get to hear much of her performance. Very disappointing as we flew from California to visit Harlem. I don't think this is right to have a headlining performer be that late. You need to be considerate of your customers."
