Opened in 1986, the Marquis Theatre is one of the newest theatres to be built on Broadway. Located inside the Marriott Marquis Hotel, it was designed to provide maximum comfort for audiences and actors while conveying a feeling of intimacy. The venue features an expansive backstage, high ceilings, state-of-the-art acoustics, wide aisles, comfortable seats, ample restrooms, and parking. Since its opening, the theatre has showcased a series of hit musicals including Me and My Girl, Gypsy, Man of La Mancha, The Goodbye Girl, Damn Yankees, Victor/Victoria, Peter Pan, Annie Get Your Gun, and Thoroughly Modern Millie. Before or after seeing a show at the Marquis, theatergoers can dine at one of the fine restaurants located throughout the hotel. The Marquis has 1,611 seats and is one of The Nederlander Organization's nine Broadway theatres.
Rumor has it that when the Marquis Theatre was built- by architects whose history was primarily with hotels and not theatres- they forgot to build dressing rooms, and they were added as an afterthought. If you enter the lobby, you can see a glass wall of advertisements... if not for the adds, you could see directly through the glass wall into the dressing rooms.
