Things to Know Before You Go
How to Get There
Located in the heart of Manhattan’s Theater District, the Marquis Theatre is easy to get to from anywhere in the city. Subway riders can take the A, C, or E to 50th Street, the N or R train to 49th Street, or the 7 to 42nd Street - Times Square. All stations are between a 5- and 10-minute walk away.
When to Get There
Show times vary depending on what is playing, but typically there is an evening performance on Monday through Saturday and an additional matinee performance on Saturday and Sunday. It is recommended to arrive at least 15 minutes before curtain in order to find your seats and get settled. Latecomers are seated during suitable breaks.
History
The Marquis Theatre is highly unusual in that it is located within a hotel. The reason behind its location is that the construction of the hotel involved the demolition of five theaters, and the city only permitted the developer to construct the new property if there was a theater within it.
