Apollo Theatre Celebrates 75 Years

Hosted by funnyman Steve Harvey, the gala event celebrates the Apollo as the soul of American culture. It hopes to raise funds in support of the non-profit theater's 75-year legacy and its initiatives for emerging artists and community and educational programs in New York City and beyond.

In addition to appearances by Mariah and Jamie, the night will also feature performances by Anita Baker and the O'Jays. Quincy Jones and Patti LaBelle will be inducted into the Apollo Legends Hall of Fame, and Bill and Camille Cosby will be honored with the Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis Arts & Humanitarian Award.
