Marquis Theatre History

Five Broadway theaters were demolished in 1986 to create the Marriott Marquis Hotel, which houses the Marquis Theatre on its third floor. Those great theatres were:

• The original Helen Hayes theatre
• The Morosco Theatre
• The Bijou Theatre
• The Gaiety Theatre
• The Astor Theatre

All these theatres had to be torn down to make room for the luxurious Marriott hotel and the Marquis Theatre.
Originally designed by architect John C. Portman, Jr. as an integral part of the Marriott's structure, The Marquis Theatre opened in 1986.

Notable Past Productions

The Marquis Theatre's short production history, which has almost exclusively featured musicals

Marquis Theatre Design

Although it's buried in the mammoth hotel's innards, the Marquis Theatre box office has a prominent place on the Broadway side of the building. You can't miss the Marquis's marquee, looming over the lobby, which is plastered with posters.

Inside, the long black lobby, with its ceiling blanketed by small lightbulbs, leads to the escalator that will take you up to the Marquis Theatre. If you have some time to kill before the show, you can either hang around the third floor, or go up to the eighth floor and enjoy a fantastic view of Times Square from the lounge.

After the show, pick up a CD or t-shirt at the great Broadway gift shop nestled in the southeast corner of the Marriott, next to the box office.
