Discover more about Marquis Theatre

The Marquis Theatre, a contemporary Broadway theater, is located within the New York Marriott Marquis hotel in the Theater District. Opened in 1986, it stands as one of Broadway's youngest venues, offering a modern and comfortable setting for theatergoers. Designed by architect John C. Portman Jr., the Marquis aimed to provide an intimate experience for audiences and actors alike. The theater's history is intertwined with the controversial construction of the Marriott Marquis, which involved the demolition of five older theaters. In exchange for the demolition, city officials required the hotel to include a new theater within its structure. Despite the initial controversy, the Marquis has become a significant part of the Broadway landscape. Inside, the Marquis boasts a spacious backstage, modern acoustics, and comfortable seating, ensuring an enjoyable experience for all. The high ceilings cleverly conceal lighting and sound equipment, maintaining an aesthetically pleasing environment. The theater is accessible via elevators from the hotel lobby. Over the years, the Marquis Theatre has hosted numerous successful productions, including "Me and My Girl," which opened the theater in 1986, "Gypsy," "Victor/Victoria," "Annie Get Your Gun," and "Thoroughly Modern Millie". Currently, it is home to "Stranger Things: The First Shadow".
