📷 The Apollo Theater Marquee Photograph Selection: 1930s/ 1980s The Apollo Theater (formerly the Hurtig & Seamon's New Theatre; also Apollo Theatre or 125th Street Apollo Theatre) is a multi-use theater at 253 West 125th Street in the Harlem neighborhood of Upper Manhattan in New York City. It is a popular venue for Black American performers and is the home of the TV show Showtime at the Apollo. The theater, which has approximately 1,500 seats across three levels, was designed by George Keister with elements of the neoclassical style. The facade and interior of the theater are New York City designated landmarks and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The nonprofit Apollo Theater Foundation (ATF) operates the theater and a recording studio at the Apollo Theater, as well as two smaller auditoriums at the Victoria Theater. The Apollo was developed by theatrical producers Jules Hurtig and Harry Seamon as a burlesque venue in 1913, and originally served only white patrons. In 1928, the Minsky brothers leased the theater for their own burlesque shows. Sydney Cohen acquired the theater in 1934, and it became a venue for black performers. Frank Schiffman and his family operated the theater from 1935 to 1976. A group of black businessmen briefly operated the theater from 1978 to 1979, and former Manhattan borough president Percy Sutton bought it at an auction in 1981. The Apollo reopened in 1985 following a major refurbishment that saw the construction of new recording studios. In September 1991, the New York State Urban Development Corporation bought the Apollo and assigned its operation to the ATF. Further renovations took place in the mid-2000s, and an expansion of the theater commenced in the 2020s. The soundtrack: "Hummin'" by Nat Adderley, performed by the Cannonball Adderley Quintet and included in the live album "Country Preacher" Julian "Cannonball" Adderley - alto sax Nat Adderley - cornet Joe Zawinul - keyboards Walter Booker - bass Roy McCurdy - drums 🎷 Join the @jazzphotoarchives & @thejazzlibrary Collective! 🔗 Support the collective through the store.

R.I.P. D'Angelo 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Saddened to hear of the passing of D'Angelo - he was a true genius and a great friend.
