HISTORY & RESTORATION (con't)

Wide view and view of plaster detailing of the Hilton Theatre's auditorium, which retains elements of the original Apollo Theatre's design.

The theater's first production was Ragtime, a musical appropriately set in New York's Gilded Age, which saw the original openings of the Apollo and Lyric Theatres. Composer Stephen Flaherty, Lyricist Lynn Ahrens and book writer Terrence McNally's adaptation of E. L. Doctorow's brilliant and controversial novel was critically acclaimed and went on to be nominated for thirteen and to win four coveted Tony Awards. The show ran for two years on Broadway and at the time confirmed two of the musical theatre world's best talents, Audra McDonald and Brian Stokes Mitchell as stars.

Coming Soon: Spider-Man, Turn Off The Dark. Directed by Tony® Award-winner Julie Taymor with 22-time Grammy® Award-winning Bono and The Edge creating new music and lyrics, SPIDER-MAN will be written by Julie Taymor and Glen Berger. Previews start Saturday January 16, 2010!
