Showtime at the Apollo raises the performance bar for up-and-coming artists.  Hosted by world class comedians, Capone and Talent, Showtime features chart-topping musical act and tests the mettle and skills of a diverse line-up of America’s best amateurs.
Not known as a shy crowd, Showtime at the Apollo audiences are as legendary as the stars they have created over the years as they bluntly vocalize their pleasure – or their displeasure. The love from our audience can transform amateurs into entertainment giants, as witnessed by the success of James Brown, Fat Joe, Michael Jackson, Lauren Hill, Gladys Knight, and the legion of other legends who began as amateurs at the Apollo.  But performing before a Showtime crowd can be daunting for the less than determined.  Many acts are known to lose their nerve mid-performance and get booed off the famous stage.
