The Apollo Theatre was designed by Lewin Sharp and opened in February 1901, making it the first Edwardian theatre in the West End.

The balcony is said to be the steepest in London, a design that was intended to improve the acoustics for musicals.

This theatre is currently owned by Max Weitzenhoffer and Nica Burns.
