About Apollo Theatre London
The Apollo Theatre was the first West End theatre of the Edwardian age as it was opened in February 1901, a month after Queen Victoria’s death. Designed by architect Lewin Sharp, the Apollo received extensive renovations in 1932 and provides seating for 796 persons on 4 levels. A noteworthy feature of this theatre is the ‘Apollo Balcony’ on the 3rd tier, known as the steepest in London.
The Apollo also enjoyed a number of musical/comedy performances which included Harry Gabriel Pelissier’s-‘The Follies’ which ran from 1908 to 1912. Other impressive performances include Marc Camoletti’s ‘Boeing Boeing’ and ‘Don’t Dress for Dinner’ and more recently ‘Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell’, starring Peter O’Toole, and ‘Dead Guilty’ starring Jenny Seagrove and Hayley Mills.
