💰 Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• MEZZC Row L ($78): Center mezzanine at balcony level - surprisingly good sightlines for the price
• MEZZL Rows L-M ($81-83): Side mezzanine with minimal obstruction - best budget choice
• Pro Tip: Rows K-L in mezzanine avoid the steepest balcony rake while maintaining value

🎯 Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)

• ORCHC Rows Y-ZZ ($104): Rear orchestra center - perfect head-on perspective
• MEZZC Rows H-J ($104): Front mezzanine center - elevated view of stage effects
• MEZZL Row H ($104): Closest side mezzanine seats before price jump
• Key Insight: Marquis Theatre's shallow orchestra means Row Z feels like Row M in deeper houses

✨ Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)

• ORCHC Rows U-X ($134-140): Mid-orchestra golden zone - immersive without neck strain
• MEZZL Rows C-F ($170-174): Premium side mezzanine - ideal for theatrical sightlines
• Warning: Avoid extreme side orchestra beyond Row P - partial view of special effects

💎 Premium & Last-Minute Splurges

• ORCHC Rows A-B ($354+): Front row intensity - see actor expressions but may miss floor projections
• MEZZANINE Row A ($250+): Front mezzanine rail - unparalleled overview of stagecraft
• Hot Tip: ORCHC Rows G-H ($344-346) offer VIP proximity with better perspective than front rows

🔍 View Differences by Section

• Orchestra Center: Best for appreciating the full stage picture and special effects
• Mezzanine Center: Reveals hidden details in the multi-level set design
• Side Sections: MEZZL/R better than ORCHL/R - avoids sightline issues with proscenium
• Row Guide: In orchestra, Rows N-U are the "magic middle" - close enough for intimacy but back enough for full-stage comprehension

🎭 Special "Stranger Things" Considerations

This production uses extensive projection mapping and vertical staging. Mezzanine seats (especially Rows C-H) provide the best perspective for appreciating the full environmental storytelling, while orchestra seats (Rows K-U center) deliver maximum immersion in the Hawkins universe.
