Located in Midtown Crossing at Turner Park, a Mutual of Omaha mixed-use urban development project, Marcus Theatres has a long-term contract to manage the theatre for Mutual of Omaha. The theatre opened its doors on November 6.
The special features of the theater include CineDine in-theatre dining concept, two sophisticated urban cocktail lounges, meeting and event space, full catering service, a four-story glass façade offering views of the Midtown skyline and Turner Park and the latest digital cinema technology. Each auditorium offers reserved seating, an extensive chef-prepared menu and a wide selection of beer, wine, cocktails and specialty drinks. Guests can dine in comfort in specially designed theatre swivel chairs with countertop tables.
One of the highlights of the Marcus Midtown Cinema is its large auditorium, which seats 208 and includes a VIP reserved-seating area in its balcony level for 102 guests. The VIP area includes plush, wide, comfortable leather chairs with side tables and personal service. Admission to the VIP area also includes a $5 voucher for food and beverage purchases. Four of the five auditoriums also offer traditional theatre seating, giving guests the option of enjoying the latest Hollywood blockbusters without tableside food and beverage service. The cinema’s theatre level also has a main box office and concession stand, and a two-story atrium with relaxing music from a baby-grand piano in the spacious lobby area.
Marcus Midtown Cinema also houses two metropolitan cocktail lounges – Glo and vue. Glo, a sophisticated, contemporary lounge, features a glowing neon backlit bar, oversized leather seating and flat-screen monitors showing the latest in entertainment, sports and news. Located on the mezzanine level, vue offers wine, spirits, light appetizers and desserts and has views of the Midtown Omaha skyline.
The Marcus Midtown Cinema is the company’s latest expansion into Nebraska. In June 2008, Marcus Theatres purchased approximately 11 acres of vacant land in the Southport West development in La Vista, Neb.
