Lyceum Theatre Seating Guide for "Oh, Mary!" – Best Views & Value

Expert Recommendations for Broadway's Lyceum Theatre

The historic Lyceum Theatre (NYC's oldest continuously operating Broadway house) offers excellent sightlines, but strategic seat selection is key. Below we break down the best options for "Oh, Mary!" based on price-to-view value, with special attention to the theatre's unique balcony overhang that affects some mezzanine seats.

🎯 Best Value Tickets ($112-$133)

• BALCPV Rows A-F ($112): Front balcony center with surprisingly good angles (steep but unobstructed). Rows A-C offer the most immersive experience.
• BALC Rows C-F ($133): Slightly rear balcony but still excellent center views. Perfect for budget-conscious theatergoers who want clean sightlines.

💎 Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

• ORCHPV Rows A-J ($143-$168): Premium orchestra side sections at 20% less than center orchestra. Row J is under the overhang but still has good elevation.
• MEZZPV Rows A-B ($127-$138): Front mezzanine sides with minimal obstruction from the famous Lyceum balcony overhang.

👑 Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)

• MEZZO Rows A-H ($198-$262): Center mezzanine seats - avoid rows E-H which may feel cramped under the overhang.
• ORCHO Rows E-O ($260-$617): Mid-rear orchestra center. Rows L-O may lose some ceiling details but have perfect stage sightlines.

🌟 Premium or Last-Minute Splurges

• ORCHC Rows A-C ($564): Absolute front center orchestra - you'll see every facial expression.
• MEZZC Rows A-B ($348-$534): Royal box vibe with perfect elevation in this intimate 922-seat theater.

⚠️ View Considerations

• Balcony Overhang: Affects mezzanine rows E-H - choose front mezzanine (A-D) or balcony for unobstructed vertical sightlines.
• Side Seats: ORCHPV/MEZZPV sections have slight angular views but often better value than partial-view listings suggest.
• Row Depth: Lyceum's shallow balcony means even Row F feels closer than typical Broadway theaters.

📊 Price Comparison Highlights

• Balcony center (BALCPV) at $112 vs. rear mezzanine at $198+ - the balcony delivers better value
• Orchestra sides (ORCHPV) at $143 vs. center at $260+ - 45% savings for modest angle adjustment
• Front mezzanine sides (MEZZPV) at $127 vs. center at $262 - identical elevation at half price

💡 Pro Tip

For "Oh, Mary!" which relies heavily on facial expressions and intimate staging, we recommend prioritizing vertical proximity (front balcony or front mezzanine) over horizontal position. The Lyceum's excellent acoustics mean even balcony seats enjoy perfect sound.
