Hotels near Apollo Theatre
As a Grade II listed building in the West End, the Apollo Theatre provides a unique sense of excitement and artistry. Designed by Lewin Sharp and originally built for musical theatre, it was constructed from London brick to reflect the nature of the neighbouring streets, in the Renaissance style.
The opening night was on 21 February 1901 with the American musical comedy The Belle of Bohemia. It was the first London theatre to be completed in the Edwardian period and since that night it has gone from strength to strength. The theatre currently has a capacity of 775 people across the four levels.
Star names
Since opening, the theatre has played host to a wide variety of shows and famous names, with plays from Alan Bennett, Noël Coward and Robert Sherwood all being performed. In recent years the likes of Stephen Fry, James McAvoy and Patrick Stewart have appeared on stage with the range of shows varying from Shakespeare’s Richard III and Twelfth Night to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and Carrie’s War.
