OPINION (NYDN) – As Lady Gaga took the stage at the Apollo Theater on Monday night, she had two questions for her audience. “Are you ready to f—–g party tonight? Are we making history?” The show did make history, at least for Gaga, as it was her first appearance at the famed theater in Harlem.

From Alaska Thunderf–k, a drag performer who won Season 2 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” to the controversial televangelist and anti-LGBTQ pastor Joel Osteen, the event drew an eclectic mix of fans, industry insiders and celebrities, from the movies (Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michael Douglas), the music universe (Clive Davis, Adam Lambert), the fashion world (Alexander Wang), television (John Oliver, Camila Mendes) and the America’s gay Royal couple and Harlem residents Neil Patrick Harris and husband David Burtka.
