About

Aspiring musicians, singers, dancers, comedians, rappers and spoken word artists try their best to please the audiences that can make them an Apollo Legend. Get ready to cheer or jeer as you decide who stays and who gets booted off stage. At Amateur Night, you tell the performers to be good or be gone!

Amateur Night at the Apollo is hosted by the comedian Capone. Each show begins with a festive pre-party featuring video and music by DJ Jess. Also, keep a lookout for master impressionist C.P. Lacey, the resident Executioner who sweeps bad talent off the stage.

    Amateur Night at the APOLLO - July 1, 2015

    by QueenMacoomeh on 7/7/15Apollo Theater - New York

    My first time at the theatre although The Apollo is a household name to many of us children of the 70's. I won't say I was impressed. That would be too much of an understatement. From the door attendants, to the MCs to the DJ, to the lady attending the restroom. Oh my goodness, this place stands toe to toe with any other world class venue. I was there to see my son compete with others and, yes, HE WON!! The Apollo loved him and I will be back!

    Unforgettable Experience

    by MWfromDenver on 7/5/15Apollo Theater - New York

    This was my dad, sister (both from Houston) and my first visit to the Apollo. It was soooo... much fun. The show was interactive, host was hilarious and the performances were all great. I really liked how the audience was encouraged to show love for each other by holding hands with their neighbor and uplifting the confidence of the kids who performed. Love...Love...Love the preshow with the old school songs played by the DJ. Would definitely come again.

    Woot woot!

    by Shinyhappyperson on 11/25/14Apollo Theater - New York

    If the host didn't make us hold hands with the people sitting next to us, I would have been overly concerned with the fact that my long legs and wide hips were pressing too much into the big guy next to me...but our row was like a family reunion. We were arguing over booing or not and getting our groove on. Such talented people, from the "amateurs" to the house band. Loved it!

    Always a hoot!

    by elisacamisa on 11/22/14Apollo Theater - New York

    This was my second time at The Apollo. First time I was in the balcony but last week I was in the 6th row where the audience is a bit calmer, more reserved. Both occasions were fun. Since last week was Top Dog the talent was good so the Executioner didn't need to do his job.

    BEST EVENT ALL YEAR

    by Deltadre on 11/10/14Apollo Theater - New York

    This show is awesome. Definitely top rate and first class. It is a must see. You are sure to have a good time and enjoy it from the time you enter the historic theater until you leave this breath taking door front. Non-stop fun and excitement from the first strike of the first beat of music.

    Why are you reading this??? GO!

    by Chasing on 11/10/14Apollo Theater - New York

    Fun and fabulous. From the child talent to the ahhhh, varied, adult talent, this is a must-see NY experience. My only complaint is that they stretched maybe 30+ minutes of actual talent part into 2 hours. I wanted it to go longer and have more acts.

    Amateur Night is Fun

    by Modabouttown on 11/3/14Apollo Theater - New York

    This was a fun evening ! Best part is sitting in an iconic venue where all the great soul and R & B acts have appeared over the years. Loved the warm up act and the house band. Compere was funny and excellent in getting brilliant audience participation. The amateurs were "some good"- " some bad" but that's part of the experience. It's good to boo sometimes.

    One of the best NEW YORK NIghts I've ever had.

    by valinzee on 11/1/14Apollo Theater - New York

    The House Band, Announcers, and Hosts are amazing. We were all moving in our seats. Such great energy. I felt like I was in an old southern Gospel Church and the Holy Spirit was rooooollllin'. when the talent came on, it was just so much fun. the kids were great and the adults too. It's so much more authentic than American Idol, but is a similar type situation (except YOU are the judge). There are people there from all over the world which makes it really cool, but you definitely get that old Harlem vibe which I just love. There are great restaurants all around too if you want a bite or drink after. We had cocktails at Red Rooster post show and ended up dancing with all these amazing dancers who were in town from Africa. It was a wonderful night, and I was still home early enough to not feel exhuasted the next day for work.
