Plan your night
Dinner + Show — Two Quick Bookings
Show admission and Marquee Club dinner reservations are handled separately. Buy your show tickets through TIX, then reserve your dinner table for the same evening. Dinner begins at 5:30 PM, and the Marquee Club connects directly to the Theatre.
Please note: a show ticket does not reserve a dinner table, and a dinner reservation does not include show admission unless the event specifically includes a package.
Your dinner table isn’t reserved yet.
TIX opened in another tab. When you’re finished there, come back here to reserve your Marquee Club table for this same evening.
Make a night of it: dinner first in the Marquee Club, then the show next door, straight through the connecting doors and never outside.
Doors 7:00 PM.
