Marquis Theatre

The Marquis Theatre opened in 1986 inside the Marriott Marquis hotel (the Nederlander Organization’s page); Wikipedia gives the date as July 9, 1986, places it on the hotel’s third floor, and says the plans for the hotel entailed demolishing five theatres, among them the original Helen Hayes, the Morosco and the Bijou. Stranger Things: The First Shadow is in residence.

The Nederlander Organization’s page gives it 1,611 seats, which makes it one of Broadway’s larger houses. Its designated wheelchair and companion seats are at the rear of the orchestra, and every other seat needs stairs. In our view, centre orchestra is the seat to want, and the front of the mezzanine is worth pricing against it.

Operated by the Nederlander Organization. Address: 210 W 46th St, inside the Marriott Marquis.
