Marquis Theatre Seating Chart

Sections at Marquis Theatre

Marquis Theatre's seating bowl is organized into the following main sections. Section layout differs by event — a sports configuration and a concert configuration of the same arena are not the same chart.

• Orchestra — main floor, rows A-Z
• Orchestra Center — center block
• Front Mezzanine — first rows of the balcony
• Rear Mezzanine — back of the upper tier
• Box Seats
• Standing Room (sold-out shows)

Best seats at Marquis Theatre

Center orchestra rows F through M frame the full stage for big musicals. The front mezzanine center is a strong choice — the single balcony is steep enough that the rail does not block the view, and you take in the full set.

Tips before you go

The Marquis sits inside the Marriott Marquis on Times Square, so you can reach it via the hotel from the 1/2/3/7/N/Q/R/W trains. Times Square crowds are heavy before curtain, so allow extra time to reach the theater's third-floor lobby.

How to read the Marquis Theatre seating chart

Marquis Theatre seats 1,600 on stacked levels facing the stage, so reading the chart means thinking in tiers rather than rings. The orchestra — the main floor — sits closest to the stage; above it the mezzanine and then the balcony step back and up, and box seats line the sides. Lower row letters are nearer the stage, center sections face it square on, and side sections trade a straight view for a lower price.

Three things decide a Marquis Theatre seat: how far from the stage you are, whether you sit center or off toward a side aisle, and which level you are on. For a theater this size, the value sweet spot is usually the front of the mezzanine at center — an unobstructed, elevated view of the whole stage without orchestra-row prices. Watch for overhang and any "partial view" note on your seat, and cross-check the official Marquis Theatre map before you buy.
