Named after the Greek God Apollo, who is considered the God of the arts and the leader of the muses, the Apollo Theatre in London is a Grade II-listed West End theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue in London. The architect, Lewin Sharp, designed the theatre for the then-owner Henry Lowenfeld. After the theatre first opened its doors in 1901, in 2013, tragedy struck and a part of the roof caved in. The Apollo Theatre was then carefully restored and reopened in 2014. The theatre is known for putting on award-winning plays, musicals, dramas and comedies. It is situated right next to the Lyric Theatre, another historically important West End venue.
