The Apollo Theatre
2540 N. Lincoln Chicago, IL 60614
The Apollo Theater is a lush venue with a prestigious reputation, located in the heart of Chicago's fashionable Lincoln Park neighborhood. Built in 1978 by theatre producers Jason Brett and Stuart Oken and twice renovated, the Apollo boasts a dramatic glass and concrete design conceived by Chicagoan Michael Lustig. Its three-quarter thrust stage has 440 plush seats configured in just twelve rows, allowing audiences a theatrical experience unparalleled in intimacy and accessibility. The Apollo Theater has a rich theatrical history. The Apollo has been taken over several times, and is now operated by Rob Kolson Creative Productions. Since then, the theater's track record for acclaimed hits has remained unblemished. The Apollo hosted two phenomenally popular musicals, "Always-Patsy Cline" and "Buddy-The Buddy Holly Story", followed by "The Male Intellect: an oxymoron?". In the summer of 1999, the Apollo presented limited runs of the hilarious comedy "If You Ever Leave Me, I'm Going With You" and "Hinton Battle: Largely Live". | Be sure to check the Apollo Theater website for current performances.
