Marquis Theatre NYC: Quick Answers
Marquis Theatre Tickets: How They Work
Tickets go on sale production by production, because the Marquis does not run a season of its own, so you buy for a specific show and date, not for the theater. The Nederlander Organization sells official tickets through Broadway Direct and the theater box office. The ticket listings at the bottom of this page come from a third-party marketplace, so prices can run above face value.
Official Marquis Theatre tickets
For face-value tickets, start with Broadway Direct, the Nederlander Organization’s official online seller for the Marquis, or buy directly from the theater box office. Marketplace inventory can be useful when official seats are limited, but prices may be above face value and availability changes by performance.
Marquis Theatre box office
The box office is at street level at 210 W 46th St, on the 46th Street side of the hotel. Broadway Direct currently lists hours of 10 AM to 8 PM Monday through Saturday and noon to 7 PM on Sunday, and they can change, so confirm them before you make a special trip. American Express, Visa and Mastercard are accepted, and all ticket purchases are final.
Marquis Theatre group tickets
Broadway Direct currently handles group sales for parties of 12 or more for Stranger Things: The First Shadow. Groups can book online or call 800-714-8452 for help with dates, price levels and seating; confirm the minimum and current terms before collecting payment.
Buy for the show, then choose the seat
Start with the production and date, then compare sections. Prices vary by seat and performance, so check the face value before you pay a premium. When you are ready to choose, the Marquis Theatre seating guide compares the sections.
Look for rush and lottery options
Many Broadway productions offer day-of rush or lottery tickets, and each production sets its own policy. Our Broadway rush and lottery guide explains how they work, and when to buy Broadway tickets covers timing.

Between Broadway and 8th Avenue. The hotel’s own address is 1535 Broadway.
How the hotel-lobby arrival works
The box office and main entrance are at street level on 46th Street. From there, escalators and elevators take you up to the auditorium on the hotel’s third floor, and there is also a through-way between West 45th and 46th Streets. The Marriott Marquis theater entrance is well signed, but it is still a hotel, so expect crowds in the lobby. Venue guides also note that there is no cloakroom, so large bags and luggage are not allowed in.
Timing your arrival
Aim to arrive 25 to 30 minutes before curtain. Late seating is at management’s discretion.
By subway
The nearest station is Times Square–42nd Street (1, 2, 3, 7, N, Q, R, W, S), a short walk north to 46th Street.

Be seated about 90 minutes before curtain. See the pre-show dining guide, restaurants near Broadway and the best restaurants in the Theater District.

Marquis Theatre Broadway History and Notable Productions
The Marquis exists because of what came before it. Building the Marriott Marquis meant demolishing five theaters, including the original Helen Hayes, the Morosco and the Bijou, and city officials let architect John C. Portman Jr. build the hotel only if it included a new theater. It opened on July 9, 1986, and it has been one of the Nederlander Organization’s Broadway houses ever since.
It is a modern room, with high ceilings, wide aisles and a large backstage, and it has favored big musicals.
