This Harlem- based holiday musical features music that crosses genres—from pop to jazz to gospel — to tell a universal story of love and belonging. Book, lyrics and music by Jason Michael Webb (Motown: The Musical, Violet and The Color Purple) and Lelund Durond Thompson (founder, YellaFella Entertainment and CTH Artistic Associate). Steve H. Broadnax III (Dominique Morisseau’s Blood at the Root) serves as director and Brian Harlan Brooks (Motown: The Musical) as choreographer for this holiday presentation, which will take place in the Apollo’s soundstage. The First Noel, commissioned by The Classical Theatre of Harlem and in association with Penn State Centre Stage, has been in development for three years and is intended to become a Harlem holiday classic. The show, presented as part of Holidays at the Apollo, will play for 20 performances, in December, with preview performances on Friday, December 11 and Saturday, December 12 and the opening night performance on Sunday, December 13 at 7 p.m. The complete performance schedule is listed below. This spectacular presentation follows three generations of a Harlem family affected by the tragic loss of a loved one. Time is slow to heal this family’s wounds until an unexpected visit from Grandma, played by theater veteran Tina Fabrique (Ella, Ragtime, Bring In Da Noise, Bring In Da Funk) reveals some long- absent Christmas joy. This story is about how a community is healed, one family at a time, as everyday people do extraordinary things to help one another receive the gift of love during the holiday season. Principle actors include Nathaniel Stampley (The Lion King, The Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess), Soara-Joye Ross (Les Miserablés, Dance of the Vampires), Lizan Mitchell (An Issue of Blood, The Talk), and introducing Nia Bonita Caesar as Young Noel. The creative team is rounded out by Dan Robinson (scenic design), Rachel Dozier-Ezell (costume design), Alan C. Edwards (lighting design), Curtis Craig (sound design) and Andre Zachery (projection design). ―Using their unparalleled skill and talent, Webb and Thompson have approached the work in two ways: first, by reimagining beloved existing Christmas songs to invoke new life and meaning; and second, by creating dynamic new songs designed to become holiday favorites for a new generation,‖ said Ty Jones, Producing Artistic Director, Classical Theatre of Harlem. ―We are thrilled to work with The Classical Theatre of Harlem this holiday season on The First Noel,‖ said Mikki Shepard, Apollo Executive Producer. ―This family oriented story is based in Harlem so it’s fitting to present the musical here at the Apollo. I am looking forward to having our audience experience this musical winter wonderland, in the intimacy of the Apollo soundstage. These performances will surely be a memorable experience for the Theater and our audiences.‖ The First Noel performances include: Preview Performances: Friday, December 11th at 7 p.m. Saturday, December 12th at 7 p.m. Opening Night: Sunday, December 13th at 7 p.m. Performances: Tuesday, December 15th at 7 p.m. Wednesday, December 16th at 2 p.m. & 7 p.m. Thursday, December 17th at 7 p.m. Friday, December 18th at 7 p.m. Sunday, December 20th at 2 p.m. & 7 p.m. Monday, December 21st at 7 p.m. Tuesday, December 22nd at 2 p.m. & 7 p.m. Wednesday, December 23rd at 2 p.m. & 7 p.m. Monday, December 28th at 7 p.m. Tuesday, December 29th at 7 p.m. Wednesday, December 30th at 2 p.m. & 7 p.m. Thursday, December 31st at 2 p.m. Next from CTH CTH's annual Uptown Shakespeare in the Park, Summer 2016 - Classical Theater of Harlem presents Macbeth at the Richard Rodgers Amphitheater in Marcus Garvey Park.

  • Where Stars Are Born and Legends Are Made™
    Where Stars are Born and Legends are Made™ The Apollo Theater Study Guide is published by the Education Program of the Apollo Theater in New York, NY | Volume 2, Issue 1, November 2010 If the Apollo Theater could talk, imagine the stories it could tell. It The has witnessed a lot of history, and seen a century’s worth of excitement. The theater itself has stood proudly on 125th Street since 1914, when it started life as a burlesque house for whites only, Hurtig & Seamon’s New Burlesque Theater. Dancers in skimpy costumes stripped down to flesh-colored leotards, and comics told bawdy jokes – that is, until then New York City Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia made the decision to close down burlesque houses all over the city. When the doors of the burlesque theaters were padlocked, the building was sold. By S ul the time it reopened in 1934, a new name proclaimed itself from the marquee: the 125th Street Apollo Theatre. From the start, the Apollo was beloved by Harlemites, and immediately of became an integral part of Harlem life. When the Apollo first opened, Harlem boasted a lot of theaters and clubs. But many didn’t admit black audiences. Though the musicians who played in the clubs were black, the audiences were often white; the country still had a lot to American learn about integration. But the Apollo didn’t play primarily to whites. As soon as it opened its doors, black residents of Harlem streamed in themselves to enjoy the show. In the early years, the Apollo presented acts in a revue format, with a variety of acts on each bill.
