The Marquis Theatre is a Broadway theatre located at 46th Street Between Broadway and Eighth Avenue in midtown-Manhattan. Situated on the third floor of the Marriott Marquis Hotel, the 1611-seat venue was designed by developer/architect John C. Portman, Jr. Because construction of the hotel involved the demolition of five theaters – the original Helen Hayes, the Morosco, the Bijou, and remnants of the Astor and the Gaiety – New York City officials permitted Portman to construct the new property only if he agreed to include a theater within the structure. It presently is one of nine operated by the Nederlander Organization. The Marquis - with state-of-the-art backstage facilities and a sleekly modern auditorium - opened July 9, 1986, with a series of concerts by Shirley Bassey. The stage version of ''White Christmas'' returned from November 13, 2009 through January 13, 2010. The previous production, the Dolly Parton musical, ''9 to 5'' closed September 6, 2009. The new Twyla Tharp dance musical, ''Come Fly Away'', based on the music of Frank Sinatra, opened officially March 25, 2010. However, due to low ticket sales, the production closed September 5, 2010. Donny and Marie Osmond presented their new show ''Donny & Marie - A Broadway Christmas'', which played for twenty-two performances from December 9, 2010 through January 2, 2011. The next production was ''Wonderland: Alice's New Musical Adventure'' which opened April 17, 2011 and closed May 15, 2011. The Kennedy Center production of ''Follies'' began a limited engagement in preview August 7, 2011, with an official opening scheduled for September 12. The first Broadway revival of ''Evita'' began performances March 12, 2012, with the official opening April 5. ==Notable productions== *1986: ''Me and My Girl'' *1990: ''Shogun: The Musical'' *1991: ''Gypsy''; ''Nick & Nora'' *1992: ''Man of La Mancha'' *1993: ''The Goodbye Girl'' *1994: ''Damn Yankees'' *1995: ''Victor/Victoria'' *1998: ''The Capeman'' *1999: ''Annie Get Your Gun'' *2002: ''Thoroughly Modern Millie'' *2004: ''La Cage aux Folles'' *2005: ''The Woman in White'' *2006: ''The Drowsy Chaperone'' *2008: ''Cry-Baby''; ''White Christmas'' *2009: ''Soul of Shaolin''; ''9 to 5''; ''White Christmas'' *2010: ''Come Fly Away''; ''Donny & Marie - A Broadway Christmas'' *2011: ''Wonderland: Alice's New Musical Adventure''; ''Follies'' *2012: ''Evita'' *2013: ''Jekyll & Hyde''; ''Il Divo – A Musical Affair: The Greatest Songs of Broadway'' *2014: ''The Illusionists — Witness the Impossible'' *2015: ''Penn & Teller'' *2015: ''On Your Feet!'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marquis Theatre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
