Located on the house' lower level, the Apollo draws upon the contemporary idiom of the rest of the house for its flavor. Entering the theater, one descends into the circular foyer, whose round walls are paneled in mahogany wood and whose floor is made of polished, quartz-flecked black granite. To one side, a door flanked by vintage posters leads into the auditorium. The seats imported from Europe, are stylized armchairs. Checkered zebrawood panels combine with geometric shapes of painted wood (some of them backlit) to relieve the rectangular uniformity of the room.
