I'm not really an expert on wikipedia or the Apollo but I think the "tree of hope" should be mentioned somewhere - http://www.bigapplejazz.com/tree_of_hope.htm
I've added the tags since there is a lot of information that has no citation -- the entire first paragraph of the History section, for instance. Much of this is name-and-date information that I'm sure is citable. -- 207.237.223.118 ( talk) 16:24, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
I removed the tag. There are several events, but the only problem I see is that they aren't chronological. Is there something I missed? -- Mtd2006 ( talk) 23:29, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
I have removed the sentence "Akiko Wada became the first Asian to perform at the venue in September 2008" being that earlier in the same paragraph it mentions Yoko Ono had played there in 1972.

are you people eighty years old? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.11.28.28 ( talk) 11:09, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
I'm about to fix the accompanying article, in the same way i described at
Apollo Theatre#Hatnote. I suggest you respond briefly there, at least including a link, even if you feel your main argument on the issue (which applies to both pages) needs to be made on this talk page rather than on that one.

I think we need to add the Template:Infobox venue as the lead infobox here, trancluding the landmark infobox within it, as first and foremost this building is an active performance venue, even if it is also a well-known landmark. In fact, I think that's the guideline, that a landmark Ed building's purpose comes first, and it's landmark status (which flows from its purpose) comes second. oknazevad ( talk) 19:54, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
@ Plummer: I noticed that you made a bunch of edits to this article's history section. Although I think your edits so far are generally good, I should say that, as an FYI (and for any page watchers who are interested), I've been rewriting this article in one of my sandboxes. I plan to be finished with that expansion in a week or so, but I'm just posting here so no one gets blindsided when I add the info from my sandbox to this page.

Overall: Article is well-written, no copyvio detected. All proposed hooks are interesting; I would recommend changing the ALT0 hook to "... could be literally swept off the stage?" if used. QPQ pending, otherwise looks good to go. Ploni 💬 15:39, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
One point that may need revising in the article is that Jules Hurtig - of Hurtig & Seamon - died in March 1928, of a heart attack while on board ship. https://www.nytimes.com/1928/03/10/archives/jules-hurtig-dies-on-a-sea-voyage-theatre-owner-and-producer.html Some of the text in the article seems to imply that he was living after that date - I don't know if the partnership's name continued in use, but as an individual he was deceased.
