We’re throwin’ it way back ahead of tonight’s #AmateurNightApollo Grand Finale, and trust us, you don’t wanna miss this one‼️

DYK: #EllaFitzgerald made her big break right here on our stage in 1934? She showed up to dance but changed her mind last-minute and sang her way straight to the Grand Finale prize and into our hearts. That night, the “First Lady of Song” and #ApolloLegend was born.

...Fast-forward 91 years, and we’re still celebrating legends. In honor of 50 years of bulova + the legacy of #TheApollo, we’ve teamed up to drop The Apollo timepiece collection, including the Ella Fitzgerald edition, which dropped June 17th. Cop yours now and own a piece of history!

👉🏾 Tickets are sold out, but tap the link in bio to watch tonight’s Grand Finale LIVE and check out the new Ella watch at apollotheater.org/shop.
