NEW YORK—New York City's storied Apollo Theater will be
temporarily transformed into a glamorous, old-school nightclub
in February. It's part of a production directed, choreographed
and hosted by Maurice Hines.  Grammy-winning jazz singer Dee Dee
Bridgewater will be among the performers.  The orchestra level
will become a club-style setting, offering table service,
drinks, dancing and interaction with the performers.  To
accomplish the task, the historic theater's main-floor seats
will be removed, and the stage will be extended.  Hines' history
with the Apollo began when he was 7 and his brother, Gregory,
was 5 years old.  "Apollo Club Harlem" will have three
performances. Tickets go on sale Monday.
