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

Expert Recommendations for the Best Views at Marquis Theatre

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 balcony section). The theater's steep incline ensures good sightlines even from rear sections. Below are my expert picks for "Stranger Things: The First Shadow" based on value, view quality, and availability.

Best Value Tickets ($134-$152)

• MEZZR/MEZZL Rows L-M ($134-$137): Rear side mezzanine offers significant savings with only slightly angled views. Row L is elevated enough to see over heads.
• ORCHC Rows Y-ZZ ($148-$149): Center orchestra at 3/4 back - farther but perfectly centered. Avoid ZZ which is very last row.
• MEZZL Row H ($148-$149): Front of rear mezzanine - excellent price jump point before premium sections.

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View, $154-$185)

• MEZZL Row J ($154): Side mezzanine but closer with minimal obstruction.
• MEZZC Rows H-K ($171-$172): Center mezzanine heart - perfect overhead view of stage effects.
• ORCHC Rows U-W ($171-$172): Mid-orchestra center - ideal for seeing facial expressions.
• ORCHL/ORCHR Rows U-X ($183-$185): Side orchestra near center - slight angle but closer proximity.

Premium Seating ($195-$275)

• MEZZL Rows C-F ($195-$221): Front mezzanine sides - steep premium but unmatched overhead perspective.
• MEZZC Rows C-G ($221-$268): Front center mezzanine - best overall views in the house.
• ORCHC Rows A-L ($260-$275): Front orchestra center - expect to pay Broadway premium prices.

View Considerations

• Orchestra: Rows A-J are "premium" pricing. Rows K-T mid-value. Rows U-ZZ most affordable.
• Mezzanine: Rows A-F are Front Mezzanine. Rows G-K Middle. Rows L-M Rear.
• Sightlines: Marquis has minimal obstructions but extreme side seats (ORCHL/R) may miss some upstage action.

Pro Tips

• For groups of 4+, MEZZR Row L at $134 is the undisputed best value
• Solo buyers should target ORCHC Row U at $171 for perfect center view
• Front Mezzanine (Rows C-F) often provides better overall perspective than equivalent-priced orchestra
• Check the theater's detailed seating chart - some "partial view" seats still offer 90% visibility
