About The Apollo Theatre AC

The Apollo Theatre AC is a storied piece of Atlantic City’s entertainment history. Located on the iconic Boardwalk at 180 S New York Ave, this site now hosts the Atlantic Palace Condominium at 1507 Boardwalk, but the legacy of the Apollo lives on in local lore and the continued appeal of the Boardwalk as a premier destination for live performances, arts, and culture. While the original theater was opened in 1908 and later renamed before its closure in 1985, visitors today can still explore the surrounding area that once welcomed Broadway-style tryouts and legendary performers like Otis Skinner, Helen Hayes, and W. C. Fields. This page provides practical, user-friendly details to help you plan a visit or find a memorable show nearby, including seating considerations, parking options, transportation, and recommended nearby hotels and dining options using trusted affiliate partners.

Whether you’re planning a night on the Boardwalk or researching the history of Atlantic City’s stages, we’ve got you covered. Secure your seats or accommodations with confidence through our trusted partner network, and enjoy easy, straightforward ticket purchasing and travel planning. The Apollo Theatre AC may no longer host live performances at its original site, but the Boardwalk’s enduring energy makes it a great jumping-off point for a broader Atlantic City experience.
