Marquis Theatre | "Stranger Things" Seating Guide & Best Ticket Deals

Expert Recommendations for the Best Views & Value

As a Broadway theater with 1,611 seats, Marquis Theatre offers three main seating areas: Orchestra (ground level), Mezzanine (first balcony), and Front Mezzanine (closest elevated section). For "Stranger Things: The First Shadow," sightlines are crucial due to the show's intricate staging and special effects. Below are our curated picks across all price ranges.

Best Value Tickets ($130-$150 range)

• MEZZL/MEZZR Rows M-L: At $133-$140, these side mezzanine seats offer solid overhead views of the stage's depth. Slight angle but no obstructed views.
• ORCHC Rows ZZ-Z: $148-$149 for center orchestra rear. Further back but perfectly centered - ideal for seeing the full stage picture.

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View: $150-$180)

• MEZZC Rows H-K: $171-$175 for true center mezzanine. Elevated enough to appreciate staging but close enough for facial expressions.
• ORCHC Rows Y-V: $156-$170 center orchestra. Rows V-Y are the "golden middle" - close enough for immersion with full-stage visibility.

Higher Tier Options ($180-$260)

• Front Mezzanine (Rows A-E): $193-$265. The "Front Mezz" provides the clearest overhead view - especially good for shows with aerial effects.
• Orchestra Center (Rows L-Q): $211-$260. Premium orchestra seating with minimal head-turning. Row L is the first row after the aisle break.

Premium & Last-Minute Picks ($275+)

• Orchestra Center Rows A-B: $275-$415. For true VIPs - you'll see every detail of the actors' performances. Row A is on-stage level.
• ORCHC Rows F-K: $346-$387. These front-center orchestra seats typically sell out first due to their proximity.

Viewing Notes by Section

• Orchestra Side Seats: Rows U-Z ($183-$228) have slight angles but often better value than center sections. Left side (ORCHL) has slightly better sightlines.
• Mezzanine Overhang: Rows M-N in MEZZC ($282-$302) may feel slightly closed-in but still good visibility.
• Front Mezzanine vs Orchestra: Front Mezz (Rows A-E) often provides better overall perspective than mid-orchestra for this production's vertical staging.

Pro Tips for "Stranger Things"

• Choose center sections (ORCHC/MEZZC) when possible - the show uses the full stage width
• Rows H-K in any section offer the ideal elevation/distance ratio
• For groups of 4+, the MEZZL/R blocks at $133-$140 are exceptional value
• Check the theater's detailed seating chart for exact seat numbers - some side seats have partial obstructions
