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

Expert Recommendations for the Best Views at Marquis Theatre

As a Broadway specialist, I've analyzed every section of the Marquis Theatre to help you find the perfect seats for "Stranger Things: The First Shadow." Below are my top picks across all price ranges, with detailed notes on view quality and value.

💰 Best Value Tickets ($111-$136)

• MEZZANINE LEFT/RIGHT (Rows L-M): Excellent mid-range option. Rows L-M offer clear stage views with only slight angle limitations. The $111-$114 price point is exceptional for Broadway.
• ORCHESTRA RIGHT (Row Y): Far side but unobstructed. Better legroom than mezzanine at same price point. Ideal for taller attendees.
• MEZZANINE CENTER (Rows H-K): The $134-$139 tickets in rows H-K are steals - centered views with perfect elevation to appreciate the stagecraft.

🎯 Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

• ORCHESTRA CENTER (Rows V-X): $134-$136 gets you premium orchestra placement without premium prices. Row V is particularly good - close enough for actor expressions but far enough for full stage perspective.
• MEZZANINE CENTER (Row J): At $138, these offer the best balance between price and view quality in the mezzanine. The elevation helps with "Stranger Things" special effects visibility.
• ORCHESTRA SIDE (Rows U): $141-$143 for orchestra side seats is reasonable. The Marquis' steep rake means even side views remain largely unobstructed.

✨ Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals but good seats)

• ORCHESTRA LEFT (Rows L-P): $171-$182 range. Good proximity but overpriced compared to similar center options. Only consider if you need left aisle access.
• MEZZANINE FRONT (Rows E-G): $171-$180. First mezzanine rows have incredible energy but check for overhang obstruction from balcony above.
• ORCHESTRA CENTER (Rows Q-T): $193-$205. Premium orchestra positioning but price jump is significant. Row R at $205 is the best value in this range.

💎 Premium or Last-Minute Splurges

• FRONT MEZZANINE CENTER (Rows A-D): $233-$258. The $233 Row D tickets are actually better value than more expensive front rows - less neck strain.
• ORCHESTRA CENTER (Rows A-B, K): $307-$374. Only consider if you must be upfront. Row K at $307 offers better perspective than front rows at higher prices.
• ORCHESTRA CENTER (Rows F-H): $345-$349. These are producer hold-backs being released last minute. Excellent but wait for potential price drops.

🔍 View Differences to Note

• Mezzanine vs Orchestra: Mezzanine provides better overall perspective for this effects-heavy show, while orchestra delivers more actor intimacy.
• Side Sections: Marquis Theatre's shallow side angles mean MEZZL/R seats still offer 85-90% stage visibility unlike some Broadway houses.
• Front Orchestra: Rows A-F may require looking up during some scenes - ideal is rows G-Q for comfortable viewing.

🎭 Final Recommendation

For most attendees, the MEZZANINE CENTER rows H-K at $134-$139 deliver the best combination of view quality and value. If you prefer orchestra, the CENTER rows V-X at $134-$136 are unparalleled in their price range. Groups of 8 have excellent availability in these sections.
