Marquis Theatre

We went to see Stranger Things: The First Shadow during July of 2025. The theater was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The theater doesn’t have bathrooms so you’ll have to exit the theater area to use the restroom across the lobby. It’s not a far walk to the bathroom but you will need tickets to reenter the theater. The hotel is beautiful. It’s close to Times Square and there’s a few parking garages nearby.

I saw Stranger Things there. Mind blowing. My first time seeing a Broadway show in a theatre that’s inside of a hotel. Great vibes. Staff were nice, ambience was nice, easy to get to, helpful staff and clearly labeled directions. Temperature was on point. Clean and great bathrooms.

Saw Stranger Things here and it was amazing! Great effects! The theater was clean and very nice. Seats are tight. Only bad thing is the ushers let people in even if they were 30 minutes late.

Very fancy! Such a design on the place just the architecture and history behind it all. I was so excited to come here because I had heard that the most famous and important events have happened in this area of manhattan. The rockettes, The lion king, Wizard of Oz, Romeo and Juliet I mean the shear poetry and ambiance of the place just send shivers down my spine. I paid $95 for a backseat ticket to the exclusive “Stranger things” broadway show and might I say I have never been more impressed. I mean talk about a performance Wow! The actors themselves were very interesting as they took method acting all the way to which it seemed like I was watching a movie or a sit com to say the least. You know the laughing you hear from a live audience in comedy Tv shows when the characters say or do something funny? Well I felt apart of that whole shtick and it was a pretty hilarious experience. The stage effects were amazing down right video game style worthy with smoke, screening effects, lighting, strong bass sound effects, projections, scents everything I honestly felt so in depth with the plot of the story. 3 hours I thought was a long time for a showing but man was I glad to actually sit through the whole thing. There are also intermissions to take breaks to use the bathroom or to get snacks from the concession stand which is a tab bit expensive but you are in NY one of the most expensive cities in the world. There is also no video recording or photos once inside the theater so I couldn’t get any of the character performance. Tons of security so pretty safe and protected all around.

We saw Stranger Things: The First Shadow - it was truly breathtaking. The special effects were the best I've ever seen in a play, and the plot was engaging from start to finish. Louis McCartney's portrayal of Henry Creel, aka the future Vecna, was absolute perfection.

Stranger Things is absolutely fantastic. The cheap seats up on the side of the mezzanine are perfect views, have acres of legroom compared to some other theaters, and give you a great view of "the" set piece. 😉

This was my second time seeing a Broadway musical in New York. I had seen Beetlejuice in the 1988 film directed by Tim Burton, so it was a very easy musical to understand. This work also overcame many difficulties before being performed at this theater. In December 2019, it was announced that the Winter Garden performance would close on June 6, 2020 to make way for a revival of The Music Man starring Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster. They were looking for another theater, but in March 2020, all Broadway performances were canceled due to the global spread of the coronavirus. After that, it was performed all over the world, including the North American tour. On April 8, 2022, Broadway performances resumed at the Marquee Theater. This musical was a hot topic among young people in 2022 and was gaining popularity. There were many young audience members on this day as well. A sequel film was produced in 2023. I'm really glad I was able to see this wonderful musical at this theater. July 2022.

Watched Stranger Things in the one of the center seats and it was phenomenal. Because it’s a newer show, the special effects were amazing and really made the experience as scary as possible. Such an exhilarating ride!!

The Marquis Theatre inside the Marriott Hotel is by far one of my favorite theatres. While some people mention having trouble finding it, simply putting the address if the hotel into your GPS should get you there easily. There's truly not a bad seat in the house so don't feel bad about not splurging for Orchestra seats! We saw The Wiz from the mezzanine level and had a fantastic view of the stage. The seats were comfortable, with plenty of space in both width and legroom. The theatre is also well-equipped with bathrooms on each floor, making intermission a breeze!! There are also several areas to get snacks and souvenirs so the lines were not long. My mom requires a hearing device while visiting the theater, and the process to get one was seamless. We simply went to the designated spo by the. first level snack area, provided my information, received the device, and returned it at the end--no hassle at all. Overall, I highly recommend the Marquis Theatre for its great seating, accessibility, and excellent experience! Although The Wiz is gone from the venue, I look forward to seeing other shows at Marquis in the future.

went to marquee theater to see elf on Broadway. The theater itself is quite outdated and the seats are far too small and I'm even a size 0 saying that. They didn't have too many snack bar options, I don't know if that's up to the Broadway show or the theater itself. They could definitely use a facelift as this is probably one of the more low budget production theaters given its restrictions. It's in a convenient location for sure, it's a cool experience getting into the theater. It honestly feels like you are somewhere else other than New York. Not sure if I would go to another Broadway show given how uncomfortable the seating experience was.

I came to the Marquis Theatre on a Wednesday night to see Elf, and it was amazing! The show was full of laughter and joy. If you're thinking about it, I highly recommend watching Elf! The theater itself has a bit of a strange setup. It's inside a hotel, so you end up walking in circles just to get there. Also, there's no bathroom past the ticket scan, so definitely use the restroom beforehand. I had great seats; right in the middle, perfect for a full view of the stage. The seats were really comfortable with plenty of space, which made the experience even better. The only downside is there's just one way in and out, so things can get a little chaotic when the show ends. Overall, a great night and a must-watch show!

I saw Elf on Broadway here last night, The show was fantastic! Just full of holiday joy and perfect for this time of year! The theater is a bit of an odd one for me. It's inside of the Marquis hotel so you have to go up escalators to get to the theater. It's all just a bit of a disjointed process and I think the staff could do a better job of directing people. At the end of the night, we had to wait in a line to get down the escalator. It was a lot of people all trying to push into one area. I wish there was a stair option they could offer to make getting out easier. The seating in the theater was nice. We were in the mezzanine and had a great view. The bar had some fun signature cocktails and they had fun merch for sale. Overall, the show was a 5/5 but the theater unfortunately is not the best set up for that many people to be going in and out.

Musical: 5 Theater: 4 Had the opportunity to visit the Marquis Theatre to see The Wiz back in May. The theatre is located upstairs in the Marquis Hotel. This venue doesn't necessarily give the typical feel of a traditional or historic Broadway theaters and if you are not aware of the hotel it can be a little challenging to find. Especially if you are looking for one of those traditional venues. With the exception of slightly and I do mean slightly roomier seating you have all the theatre standards of the bar, snacks, and available souvenirs. The show itself is a revival of the iconic original musical, later adapted to a film, now with slightly modern influences. The Wiz was fun, lively and memorable. From the vocals to the dance numbers it's definitely an enjoyable time. Just A Note: The Wiz had a limited run on Broadway and now will be traveling. If it comes to your city check it out.

I've missed seeing Broadway shows, so made the request to see a show as a birthday gift while home visiting my parents in NYC area. Think I've been to this theatre years ago for another show, but not sure. Went this past Wednesday with my mom and one of my aunts to see The Wiz - amazing time! You have to take the escalator to the 3rd level of the Marriott Marquis hotel to get to the theatre. The staff are friendly as they point you to where you need to be. We had Orchestra seats but the size and layout of the theatre is such that it makes views from various parts a good one. Loved the show!

I've been to this theatre several times. This last time I went I saw The Wiz. The theatre is always clean it's inside the Marriott hotel so you may look for a theatre but you need to go in thru the hotel & go upstairs. Right next door is Anita gelato & across the street is Junior's cheesecake that's if you enter from the 46th st entrance.

We recently went to the Marquis Theatre in NYC (November 2024) to see ELF. While I love the older, vintage Broadway NYC theaters, I have to say I was thrilled to be in a newer (built in 1986) theatre in the city. It was large, comfortable with elevators, escalators, and stairs that were not too narrow or steep. Ladies, there were PLENTY of clean bathrooms with lots of stalls. The bar/snack area was laid out well & the theatre seats are large and comfortable; although they are in terrible need of cup holders because they serve refreshments. The theatre is well maintained and clean. Overall our experience was positive and we look forward to seeing a show at the Marquis again!

Inside the Marquis Hotel! We arrived on foot and it took us a few minutes to fund the entrance, probably bc we were thinking about the style of many other Broadway theaters. I dont know exactly how which shows end up in which theaters, but if you are driving to NYC with your parents, this might be the theater for you! The theater itself maybe feels a little bit like the nicest and biggest movie theater you've ever imagined. And if you're seeing The Wiz, you're very lucky! You'll leave having laughed and sighed and probably wiggled a little in your seat while watching these actors move and grove.

Really nice theater. Spacious seats. Excellent staff. Clean restrooms. Came to NYC from DC to see The Wiz on 5/4/2024. This was an absolutely incredible performance.

We flew all the way in from Florida to come and see the wiz on Broadway and the show was nothing less than amazing. The theater was beautiful. Everything was well organized. The drinks were pretty good all in all. We had an amazing time.

This theater was hard to find for me, but once I found my way, everything else was great. First, Lyft has the address wrong in their system, as several of us were dropped off at the wrong location, a mile away, and had to scramble for cabs. Second, this theater is not freestanding. It's tucked away in the Marriott Marquis hotel in Times Square. I had to run into the lobby (because I had lost time due to the Lyft fiasco), follow the signs, and take the elevator up. Once I saw the lines, I knew I was in the right place. Though there was a line, it went super fast, and the staff were efficient. They have bars set up, which also served patrons quickly. Despite the crowd, everyone was seated swiftly without any chaos. The seats were wide and pretty comfortable. I sat in the isle in row B, B101 I think it was. This was just about the perfect seat--on the isle, mostly center, and not so close I had to look upward. The front row would be too close. Rows behind me wouldn't be bad--I just like being as close as possible to see details and facial expressions. The set for The Wiz was awesome. Bright, colorful, well-lit. The actors were amazing, though I know that doesn't have much to do with the theater. Overall, a solid theater, even if a little hard to find. If you're a first timer to NYC or want to do the whole tourist/theater/Broadway/Times Square thing, this hotel would probably be perfect for you!

Was fortunate enough to attend a performance of the Wiz. I cannot say enough good things about the talent displayed at this show. The singing, dancing, performance was just truly amazing. This is one of the best Broadway shows that I've been to. The sets were amazing and the costumes were perfect. As for the theater itself, the bathrooms were clean and the seats were spacious. The theater was cool and comfortable in a warm day. I loved all of the Wiz themed photo. opportunities. I look forward to seeing more shows at this venue in the future.

What a lovely theater venue. The side orchestra seats were good and spacious seats on the end. The Wiz was a fantastic production and I so recommend it. It was inside the Marriott hotel and the staff was nice.

Happy Mother's Day! Took my mom to see The Wiz. The theater seats are spacious and the staff are very accommodating, especially with someone with a disability. I wish the bar/snack area and shops had more space for people to form a line and not have to be on the steps.

Kandi Buruss has revived an iconic movie/play on Broadway with "The Wiz," delivering excellence in every aspect. The music, set, and performances were phenomenal. However, getting to the Marquis Theatre was challenging. It's recommended to leave early or stay close to the theatre due to the New York traffic. They offer convenient options like pre-purchased snacks and drinks for the intermission, including salty, sweet, and chewy snacks. It's a delightful mix to keep you satisfied during the show. The drinks are generously poured, and one was sufficient. Not to mention, they come in lovely souvenir cups. Overall, it's a fantastic place that we thoroughly enjoyed. Hey, they said no pictures so I snapped one at the end!

Great play Loved the signing and dancing Everyone did an amazing job The energy the entire night was incredible

Not too sure what to think of this theater. When you are standing inline for food/drinks you may feel lime you are waiting in line for a movie theater concession stand line. The line goes up on the stairs when it is long which to me does not seem safe at all. The theater is in the Marriott Marquis Hotel which is right in the heart of Times square. So if you are staying here and seeing a show at this theater it is very easy to get to. I must say the ushers/ staff that worked here the night I saw a show were very friendly and on top of it. Meaning, when they saw people trying to video/ take pictures during the show that were right there flashing their flashlights at the person to stop what they were doing. It happened a few times through out the show. All in all, coming to this theater and seeing a show here just did not feel like you were at a broadway show. Some of my friends who were at this show as well had the same feeling. Hard to explain.

A theater in a hotel? Yes, this theater (Marquis Theater) is located on the third floor of the Marriott Marquis. It's a real theater once you step into the theater though you don't feel like you are in a theater once you leave it. For example, during the show's intermission you have to leave the theater to go to the restrooms. The women's restroom only has 3-4 stalls. You might want to go to the 4th Floor which has the same amount of stalls. The employee was nice to check if the men's room was cleared so we can use the bathroom. (Thank you to the employee!) The seats are okay as long as you don't have too many bags in front of you. Enjoy!

Omg this play is amazing !!! I want to see it again. The talent on the stage is awesome. Prepare yourself for dancing and singing as you can't help but to get involved in the show. The theatre itself is small and typical tiny seats but that's to be expected - they offer a concession stand prior to entering the theatre

Marquis Theatre is a great venue to see a Broadway show! It is located in the heart of Times Square though, so be prepared to have to dip and dodge between packs of roaming tourists. The acoustics are good, and the seats are comfortable with great views of the stage. The bathrooms are actually very nice for a public place. The ushers and other staff were all friendly and helpful. We saw "The Once Upon a One More Time" musical, which was AMAZING! Having grown up doing Britney karaoke in the shower, it was so great to hear all her major hits in a new inventive way in the context of a fairy tale story. I didn't really read much about it before seeing the show, so I didn't know what to expect, but I loved the message behind the story. The choreography was seriously next level with extremely talented dancers. The singing and acting were superb (especially Justin Guarini - blast from the past American Idol and the stepsisters)! They give you light up wrist bands as a surprise for the finale! Don't forget to take photos in their adorable photo booths in the lobby areas! Overall: Highly recommend for Broadway shows!

A great time was had. Everything you want from a theater experience. The show we saw was The Wiz, very entertaining and a good fit for this particular theater.

Enjoyed my time with family from out of state at THE WIZ! The show was amazing, wonderful casting and set design! Sound was on point I definitely recommend seeing a show at this theatre.

This review is more for the musical Once Upon a One More Time rather than for the theatre itself. The theater is very nice though and even if you get extremely high up seats you are still able to see the entire stage. I will say that it's a bit weird that it's in a Marriott but also very impressive the hotel has the capacity to host a Broadway show. Overall, I have a lot of mixed feelings towards Once Upon a One More Time. I saw the musical when it was in its last weeks on Broadway, so I felt like a lot of the previous fans came back to see it one more time before it went on tour. Maybe that changed the vibes of the show. Here are some of the reasons why I really liked it: - The directors of the musical are professional hip hop choreographers rather than typical musical theatre choreographers so I feel like the choreography was especially interesting. There were a lot of nuances in the hand gestures, not sure if it's very princess like, but it was almost like you were watching a dance show at the same time. I've never seen a style like that on Broadway and I appreciate these stretches into what Broadway can look like. - The ending where they sang all of Britney Spear's top hits were fantastic! It was like a concert of all your favorite songs with free light up wristbands. It gave me the end of Six vibes, which were great! - I thought where they implemented Britney Spear's songs were so funny. For example, I really didn't expect the "Oops I Did It Again" to be used with the prince cheating on the princesses. - Some of the best dancing I have seen from a Broadway musical. - It's actually quite a complete story. The storyline didn't jump around and it was quite easy to follow which was kind of surprising. It was easy to see the personality of each of the characters, and trust me there was a lot to keep track of. Here are some of the reasons why it's not my favorite musical of all time: - Although, I really liked the dancing, I didn't feel like it wasn't very clean. The messiness of the dance kind of threw me off. I think it's one thing to have individuality, but this seemed a little bit too scattered for my taste. - I wish there were more props, the stage felt very sparse to me. - I felt like the actors were not utilized to the best of their ability. The musical didn't feel very cohesive. I think each actor could have their own storyline, but I hoped to that they were able to work together to tell a story. Overall, it's a fun musical because of Britney Spear's songs and the choreography, but it also felt a little disjointed. I think this musical could have used a bit more run time on Broadway and added a little bit more Broadway elements to it like props, etc.

We went here to see The Wiz. The Theater is huge and outside of plays they have serval conference rooms throughout this multi level theater. Considering how much was going on during the matinee performance, the Marquis is a well oiled machine with staff quickly and efficiently ushering you to your destination. We set in the mezzanine and I found the seats to be comfortable with a sufficient amount of leg room. The audio was great and even in the mezzanine the view was acceptable without feeling like I needed binoculars. Btw, The Wiz is a fantastic reboot of the original. I Want to see it again!!

The Marquis Theatre is a wonderful venue. I like the venue because any seat is good, the acoustics are excellent and there are more restrooms than some of the other theaters on Broadway. Given just that amenity you will not miss the beginning of the second half unlike that of the theater where Hamilton is playing now. I give the theater 3 stars because of The Once Upon a One More Time musical that is playing there now. The show is very good and the choreography tops! I find it very disappointing that it contains homosexual content and it's absolutely 100% unnecessary in this production. This show could be so entertaining for all ages but they have to throw the two men kissing on stage and it's absolutely disgusting. I don't recall any heterosexual kissing content. It's a good and entertaining besides that ridiculous scene. I have nothing against homosexuality; some of my dearest friends are gay. While I was watching the show I thought this is so great I am going to bring my grandkids back to see this until the kiss. Can we just not have it thrown in our face constantly? Just a warning to all the parents that don't want your vulnerable children subjected to homosexuality in public.

Color me surprised to find a theatre INSIDE a hotel, but the layout was actually pretty terrific, the theater was large, and the seats were comfortable. My only complaint is that they could certainly have more women's bathrooms - we were almost late coming back from intermission because the lines were so atrociously long. Meanwhile, they had plenty of men's stalls. Perhaps architects could start being more mindful of this? If they remodel, the addition of women's restrooms should ABSOLUTELY be a priority.

Saw Beetlejuice here and it was epic. A true Broadway spectacle! The lights, flames, sound effects, giant snake, all of it made it belong on Broadway. The talent was excellent, Beetlejuice and Lydia especially. What talents! I never really got bored. I laughed at all the jokes and some are so sexual or crass - hilarious. The theater and building are very large. Bathrooms are clean. The staff was kind and all masked up. Security to metal detect your bags. Easy access getting into the large spacious building. We sat on the aisle of row q and they were fantastic seats for $99 each. Thanks for a great night!

I visited this theater a few years back for Tootsie, and loved it. I came back again, but this time to see Beetlejuice. The theater is beautiful and it isn't too big, so I imagine you get a pretty good view almost everywhere. Since the theater is in the hotel, you get to wait on line inside. This is a huge plus when the weather isn't so great. The bathrooms are a decent size, so the line keeps moving. It was a little annoying to have to leave the theater area to go to the bathroom since you have to go through the metal detectors and security again. Make sure you tell someone when you're leaving so you can go right back in without waiting on line again.

Staying at the Marriott Marquis and decided to buy tickets to see Beetlejuice since the theater was so conveniently located! The show was fantastic! So glad we arrived 30 minutes before showtime. We were able to secure our seats without people trampling all over us. The theater is on the smaller side, so any seat is probably just fine. We didn't purchase cocktails since we had just come from dinner, so I cannot comment on that. I would definitely see another show in this theater. The stage is wide and was beautifully decorated for the show. The temperature of the theater was appropriate and the audience respectful.

I was recently at the Marquis Theatre to see Beetlejuice. The show was great, but the theatre was one of the oddest I've been to. First, it's inside the Marriott Marquis hotel, which means line up is inside the hotel, on the 2nd floor. Bathrooms are outside the theater in the hotel, so you have to go through security / metal detectors every time you use the bathroom. They don't tell you this as you're going in, so you end up getting all the way inside before you realize you have to go back outside to use the bathroom. When you use the bathroom during intermission, you have to go through the detectors / security again. In addition, there aren't that many stalls inside the bathrooms - maybe 5 per bathroom? Second, getting out of the theater is the longest it's ever been for me. Because it's inside the hotel, everyone has to funnel into one escalator to get back to ground level to get outside. I cannot even imagine what the theater would look like if there was some kind of emergency. A pro is you do get to wait inside the hotel instead of standing outside in the rain/cold/heat before the show.

We were fortunate to win the lotto for beetlejuice and the seats were amazing. Tickets were emailed a few hrs before the show. We got mezz row G. View was excellent. This is a small theater compared to others so any seat prob would be good. The location is very unique. It's inside the hotel and very convenient to get to. Bathrooms are also located a few feet from the theater so use the bathroom either before or after the show so you don't have to keep passing security.

Small but cute theatre inside of a hotel. Seats were comfortable and the snack bar had interesting drink offerings. My husband wasn't a fan of the alcoholic grape slushie that I got him that they put Rose wine in, but my kid liked her nonalcoholic version. Stage and sets worked well for such a small theatre. Great acoustics and special affects. My kid commented that the Beetlejuice play was loosely based on the movie. I thought that the actor playing Beetlejuice was outstanding.

Professional clean and fun. I would recommend seeing a show on Broadway. The performances were amazing.

Came here to see Once upon a one more time musical. The theatre is nice and updated and the show was amazing. The seats were very uncomfortable though. But it's rare to find a co for table theatre seat.

We had purchased discounted tickets for the musical play Tootsie being performed at the Marquis Theatre. Although our seats were sixth row mezzanine off the center of the theater, we were confident that we would have plenty of room and visibility to the stage. The Marquis Theatre is situated on the third floor of the Marriott Marquis Hotel. This theatre was built in mind of replacing five theatres that were originally at the same location prior to the construction of the Marriott Hotel. This is one of my favorite theatres to enjoy a Broadway play especially if I do not have preferred seating. In the Marquis theatre, one does not have usually a bad seat regardless where you are seated. As far as the play, we found it to be comical and the performances were fabulous. I highly recommend this show if you love good musicals with great acting and fun.

Won broadway lottery tickets for Tootsie on a stormy day when most people were afraid to venture outside of their homes. $45 per ticket with all the fees, compared to $79 plus fees for a regular priced ticket--definitely worth it. Surprised that the seats were mid orchestra, very, very decent view. What a treat! Absolutely must see! Will lift your mood up from the opening number. The actors are brilliant and hilarious. Adult jokes prevail in every line, so prepare yourself for a musical feast like no other. You'll laugh your blues away. The theater is located inside Times Square's Marriott Marquee Hotel. Modern, urban surrounds and the theater itself. There is enough space between rows for tall people to sit comfortably without getting their legs squished.

What a nice venue! During the holiday season, we saw The Illusionists Tour - Witness The Impossible. Our orchestra seats had a commanding view of the the performance. We were able to see the performers, I was making sure there were no shenanigans happening, i can honestly say this show freaked the hell out of me! How they heck do they do that!? The seats after the performance were still comfy after two hours. The bathrooms were large and in charge. The theater is located in a hotel, a little strange but the location is prime after your performance is over. If you want to eat or grab a cup of coffee, everything is here and open until the wee hours of the night. Have no fear, the lights of Broadway are always shining brightly! Cheers!

Really liked this theatre a lot. Not that big which is nice. Was very quick to get in and out of venue. Employees friendly. Beetlejuice show was outstanding.

This is a huge theater probably the biggest on the Broadway circut. if you're upstairs the bathrooms are really close to seating and there is escalators and elevators for your convenience as well as the view restaurant. the staff are friendly the concession stands are expensive and the theater is clean and beautiful. you can park your car in the building garage as well so when you walk out you can get it.

Went to Once Upon A One More Time yesterday and the cast knocked it out of the park! Justin Guarini (American Idol) and all the crew were amazing! Beautiful voices, incredible dancing by and humor too! Along with iconic music from Britney Spears. A must see!!!

This is one of the more modern theatres for Broadway Shows and in midtown Manhattan. Located on the third floor of the Marriott Marquis Hotel. Sitting anywhere in this theater will give you optimal viewing experience. I've been here to watch Tootsie and Escape to Margaritaville. Both of the shows were great and I sat in different seats too. Even though it was off to the side I was able to watch everything and no partial view. I'll probably be coming back to watch more shows later on.

We went to see "Escape from Margaritaville" at the Marquis Theatre on Saturday and had a very positive theater experience. There were plenty of ushers on hand to guide us to our seats and offer directions on where the bars and rest rooms were located. By the way, if you go to the restroom you had better have your ticket or your Playbill on your person or you won't be able to get back in. The seats were quite a bit roomier than what we customarily run into. Plenty of leg room, and plenty of everything room! The theater and its bars were appropriately decorated for the Margaritaville show with Hawaiian shirt clad bartenders, and tiki lights and beach paraphernalia everywhere. The stage sets were tremendous and the sound system was great - we clearly heard every performer's lines and vocals. The Marquis was opened in 1986 and has seating capacity for 1,611 patrons.

Been to this theater before. Still very nice and as a plus there is better leg room than most older venues. View even from the back orchestra is very good. If you don't know the theater in the Marriott hotel. So enter on 46th street and go up the escalator one floor. What is nice is the fact that they come down the line checking ladies bags to speed up entrance. What's not so great is there are no bathrooms inside you need to find the hotel restrooms on the same level. However at intermission you can go out but need to show your ticket or playbill to get back in. I'm not going to rate the play which was great just the venue for whatever show u choose

I seriously cannot put into words how amazing Beetlejuice was. Totally didn't know what to expect because it's listed as a musical and the movie is obviously not a musical but boy am I glad they did it like this. The actors/actresses were perfectly cast and there was some really good audience interaction and up to date references. Our seats were at the very top but the view was amazing....we got lucky and had no one in front of us so no heads to block the view however I don't think it woulda been an issue if someone was there because of the height of the seats. Theater was easy to access and the drinks were really good. Definitely recommend.

I was in NYC for an event and attended the show, Tootsie along with some friends. The Marquis Theater is located on Broadway and can be entered from Broadway. However, it is located inside of the Marriott Marquis and can be accessed from there, too. The Marquis Theatre is located on the second floor of the Marriott Marquis. It is located behind a pair of glass doors that separates the theater from the hotel. Once inside the theater, you are greeted by a large bar with a variety of drinks and snacks. I got a frozen drink and a pack of sour patch kids. While I expected the prices to be high, I was a bit shocked to see a drink and a box of candy to be $13 even in NYC. The theater itself is two tiered and fairly large seating a total of 1,611. The matinee that I was somewhat crowded with most of the seats filled. Although, the upper section of the theater had some sparsely filled seats. The show Tootsie itself was pretty good. I found it to be very humorous and there moments that really made the crowd laugh. It was a well put together show! Altogether, the Marquis Theater is conveniently located on Broadway and put on a good performance of the show, Tootsie.

I had an interesting and stressful experience at the Marquis Theater box office. My experience at the box office reminded of an old TV show where the monster walked around looking human but was actually a harmful being. The person at the box office ask for the order number and I did write down the order number for my Wiz ticket but I couldn't find it and couldn't find the ticket in my email. So I figured if I give the person at the box office the credit card I used to purchase ticket, my ID, and phone number my order could be found. Those items are the usual items that are asked for. I was feeling okay at this point because time was on my side in case it took some time to find my order. Well, he looked and said he couldn't find my name anywhere. He asks many other questions under the guise of being helpful. I knew the purchase had been completed as my bank statement indicated. I answered all questions he asked but still my order was not there so the box office person said. So, next I called the bank to see what organization cashed the check to answer a question asked of me. It was the Wiz organization so why isn't my ticket at the box office. When I called my bank I went outside to make the call and while still on the phone with the bank I walked back to the box office to tell them who cash my check. Well, guess what? He found my ticket under my name as I stated to him when I first went to the box office. What's in a name? My name is hyphenated but some software will not accept special characters in a name. I get that because sometimes my name is written without the hyphen, but it's still the same name. Now after over 15 minutes of being jerked around he says we found your name "it was squished together." I believe someone else looked for name and saw it as he did the first time I told him my name.His colleagues told him I am that customer. As I said I gave him all the information that any box office would ask a patron. If you submit your ticket is handed over. It is that simple but for some reason this person made me jump through hoops. Customer service is expected and is included in the price of admission. I kept my cool but I asked myself why go out of your way to be unhelpful. Anyway, the Marquis Theater is beautiful and after my initial negative experience everyone else was professional.

This is a great theatre but beware - make sure you have enough time to go up the escalator and get to the show. They also wand your bags. And usually there is a line. The seats are comfortable but if you have a big head sitting in front of you that could be a problem. I actually had to change seats with my friend because this happened to me (in the 4th row!) and I couldn't see. The ladies room is also outside of the theatre in the hotel so during intermission make note! The ushers move the crowd along quickly so hop to it! It is inside the Marriott Marquis Hotel- entrance b/45 and 46 Streets!

On your feet! -no this is not a Clint Eastwood movie! Purchased two orchestra right side tickets for $99 each through Groupon, on a night when they said all purchases have an additional 20% off. We went through all the steps on the internet, got switched over to Ticketmaster, and no 20% off -maybe they were on Eastern time, with a 9pm deadline! The most expensive tickets we have ever purchased for a theater show, and the regular price was $167! Went on a 7pm Wednesday evening to see the play based on the story of Gloria Estefan. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings are at 7pm and Thursday through Sunday evenings are at 8pm. Reading the reviews, I made sure I made a pit stop before coming to the theater. Theater is located right on Broadway next to Times Square in the heart of the theater district. Unlike other theaters, it's a combination theater, hotel and restaurant. Had to take a long escalator ride to get up to the top level, which is theater level. Definitely a newer modeled theater with clean thick carpeting, and comfortable plush seats. Not a small theater by no means, with orchestra area, two aisles, mezzanine area, and balcony area. The mezzanine area was largely empty, except for this older couple. Usher was nice and said she would move them up to the empty seats in the rear orchestra area, but they declined. We were seated about six rows from the stage on the right hand side, the #3 and #4 seats from the aisle. After my elbow battles with the senior chubby lady at Bandstand, this time I went first, taking the #4 seat next to a smaller lady. That lady looked totally afraid that I would touch her, and never laid her elbow on the center armrest. Seats are roomy but you still have to stand up when someone is passing on your row. ON YOUR FEET! is the new Broadway musical about Gloria Estefan and her zany agent, who broke the language barrier in pop music in the South Florida area in the 1980s. Up to then no Spanish speaking music group had been able to star in the English speaking song charts. Lots of singing including "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You," "Conga," "Get on Your Feet," "Don't Want to Lose You," "1-2-3," and "Coming Out of the Dark," Great choreography and blending between the music, the dancing and the costumes of the Miami Sound Machine. The only drawback in this theater is the bathrooms -only 4 stalls for the ladies bathroom. With a full house some ladies wouldn't have made it to the bathroom during the intermission time. Fortunately this theater was only half full, and I let my wife sit closer to the aisle, so she could have an edge in the mad rush to the bathrooms at intermission!
