With millions attending productions at each location every year, they put on huge, lavish productions, that get the best critic reviews.

This 2,328 seat theatre opened as a cinema in 1930. The unique interior is a testament to art deco design.This is how the Apollo advertises itself-“Imagine a fairy cavern under the sea, something no one has never seen or thought of before; huge submarine flowers against the walls that branch up and out and throw mysterious light towards the ceilings above, and glassy illuminated stalactites hanging from above; and a proscenium like a slender host of silver trees, and silvered organ pipes that shoot up to the roof; while the lights change from deep-sea green to the colours of the dawn, and the warm comfort of sunlight”.
