SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (The Marquee Group, Inc., Common Stock, $.01 Par 
Value; Warrants) File No. 1-14594

March 23, 1998.
    The Marquee Group, Inc. (``Company'') has filed an application with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to 
Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 
12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
securities (``Securities'') from listing and registration on the Boston 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``BSE'' or ``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Securities 
from listing and registration include the following:
    The Securities also are listed for trading on the American Stock 
Exchange (``Amex'') pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A 
that became effective March 11, 1997. Trading in the Securities 
commenced on the Amex on September 11, 1997.
    The Company has complied with the rules of the BSE by filing with 
the Exchange a certified copy of the resolutions adopted by the 
Company's Board of Directors authorizing the withdrawal of its 
Securities from listing and registration on the BSE, and by setting 
forth in detail to the Exchange the reasons and facts supporting the 
proposed withdrawal.
    In making the decision to withdraw its Securities from listing and 
registration on the BSE, the Company considered the costs and expenses 
attendant on maintaining the dual listing of its Securities on the BSE 
and the Amex. The Company does not see any particular advantage in 
maintaining the dual listing of its Securities and believes that such 
dual listing would fragment the market for its Securities.
    By letter dated January 13, 1998, the Exchange informed the Company 
that it would not object to the withdrawal of the Company's Securities 
from listing and registration on the BSE.
    The Company has represented that its application shall have no 
effect upon the continued listing of the Securities on the Amex. 
Furthermore, by reason of Section 12(b) of the Act and the rules 
thereunder, the Company shall continue to be obligated to file reports 
under Section 13 of the Act with the Commission and the Amex.
    Any interested person may, on or before April 13, 1998, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
exchange and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
