The Apollo's orchestra level will become a club-style setting that offers table service, drinks, dancing and the chance to interact with the performers. The historic theater's main-floor seats will be removed, and the stage will be extended.

Grammy-winning jazz singer Dee Dee Bridgewater will be among the other performers, and "Apollo Club Harlem"  will have three performances, with tickets on sale Monday.
