About the Apollo Theatre

The Apollo Theatre is one of several on Shaftesbury Avenue in the City of Westminster. The venue was specially designed to host musical theatre, aptly named after the Greek god of the arts and the leader of the muses. And the third tier balcony is probably London's steepest, adding to the drama of the experience. Past shows at the Apollo Theatre include Peter Pan Goes Wrong, Travesties, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Everybody’s Talking About Jamie.
