Apollo Theater Chicago

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Apollo Theater Chicago was built in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood in 1978. Located at 2540 N. Lincoln Ave., the Apollo has 440 seats and a lobby featuring art exhibits and a full bar. It is currently the home of the off-Broadway hit Menopause the Musical and the home of the Emerald City Theatre Company.

Notable productions at The Apollo include David Mamet's Sexual Perversity in Chicago starring Jim Belushi, Balm in Gilead with John Malkovich and Gary Sinise, the long running play The Vagina Monologues, and A Nutcracker Christmas written by children's recording artist Ralph Covert of Ralph's World and G.
