Marquis Theatre | "Stranger Things" Seating Guide & Ticket Recommendations

Best Value Tickets (Under $140)

• MEZZC Row L ($111-113): Center mezzanine offers balanced views at the lowest price point. Slight side seats (MEZZL/R) same row are just $1-2 more.
• ORCHR Row Y ($112): Far right orchestra but closer to stage than mezzanine. Good for budget-focused buyers who prefer orchestra level.
• MEZZC Row J ($132-133): 3 rows closer than L at only ~$20 more. Exceptional value for center viewing.

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View: $140-195)

• ORCHC Rows U-X ($134-139): Center orchestra in mid-rear section. Perfect sightlines to stage with minimal obstruction.
• MEZZC Rows H-K ($134-140): Front-center mezzanine provides elevated perspective ideal for appreciating stage production.
• ORCHL/R Rows U-Z ($141-143): Side orchestra but closer than center sections. Minimal view distortion at this angle.

Higher Tier Options ($195-250)

• ORCHC Rows Q-T ($193-205): Premium center orchestra locations. Rows Q-S are particularly strong for actor facial expressions.
• MEZZC Rows E-G ($195-209): First 5 rows of mezzanine center. Steep upgrade but guarantees unobstructed views.
• ORCHL/R Rows G-L ($211-214): Closer side orchestra seats. Right side (ORCHR) slightly better for this production's staging.

Premium & Last-Minute ($250+)

• ORCHC Rows A-H ($346-431): Front center orchestra - expect to see actor details and stage effects up close.
• MEZZ A/B Rows ($248-258): Front mezzanine boxes - intimate experience with some overhang considerations.
• ORCH Rows B-J ($307-374): Immediate aisle seats in premium orchestra sections. Best for last-minute VIP purchases.

Viewing Recommendations

• For Budget Buyers: MEZZC Row L offers the best dollar-to-view ratio
• For Theater Enthusiasts: ORCHC Rows U-X provide ideal Broadway sightlines
• For Groups: MEZZL/R Rows L have 8-ticket blocks at uniform pricing
• For Premium Experience: ORCHC Rows A-C deliver immersive staging
• Avoid: Far side ORCHESTRA LEFT rows K+ may have sightline issues

Seating Chart Insights

The Marquis Theatre's shallow orchestra means even rear center seats (Rows W-Z) maintain good visibility. Mezzanine overhang begins around Row H in orchestra - consider this when selecting very front rows.

Pricing Trends

• Center seats command ~15-20% premium over equivalent side sections
• Every 3 rows closer in orchestra increases price ~$25-40
• Mezzanine front rows (A-C) are priced similarly to mid-orchestra

Final Advice

For "Stranger Things: The First Shadow", we recommend prioritizing center sections (ORCHC/MEZZC) between rows J-X. The production's elaborate staging and special effects are best appreciated from straight-on angles. If purchasing last-minute, check for ORCHC Row A releases - these often become available 48 hours before performances.
