marquee
Cinema entrance sign
A marquee is a large tent used for outdoor events like weddings and parties, or the canopy extending over the entrance to a theater or hotel, typically displaying the name of the current show or featured performer.
By extension, marquee describes something prominent or headlining: a marquee player, a marquee matchup.
The adjective suggests star quality—the kind of name that belongs on the sign out front.
