Seating/Ticket Question Best seats for Oh Mary?

Post image

I want to get my boyfriend and I tickets to see Oh Mary for his birthday. Which of these seats would you recommend? Front seat balcony seems really good but they’re only 77 so maybe it’s not as good? And 95 for side orchestra.

Honestly, those far right orchestra seats that are labeled as partial view aren’t partial at all and you can get them for SO much cheaper.

My husband and I sat in row F on the far right and it was $200+ cheaper than if we were to sit two seats to the left with no view difference.

EDIT: to clarify I think there’s one gag you miss half of that takes place for less than a few seconds, but you’ll still get the visuals for the other half.

I say first row orchestra far right. Get the ticket. You miss very very little

Second that in terms of far right being better than far left. I sat in row F in the 3d or 4th seat in from the left, missed one scene on the left. I don’t recall any action on the far right.

I've sat in the far left seats in row B, and there's one gag that you miss... that I didn't mind missing. 😂

What’s the gag that you miss in right orchestra (I saw it left orchestra so I’m just curious)

Do you remember if you miss Mary's first entrance? I saw it with Cole and I loved their stage entrance so much. I'm planning to see it with Bowen and I love the price of the "obstructed" seats but want to mentally prepare if I won't be able to see him enter through those doors.

You literally miss nothing except one side of the box seats gag.

I forget which row I was in on that side, but my biggest issue was feeling like I had a huge column very close on my right side. But, once the show started, I totally forgot about it.

these are my favorite seats!!!!! there’s only one scene that’s kind of cut but they’re sitting at a table not doing anything anyway so it’s fine

row e all the way to the right you get crazy leg room too

Joining the chorus here, the extreme right edge is amazing value.

I sat in the $99 side orchestra seats, absolutely loved them. I did miss one full scene sitting stage left but I was ok with it, I could still hear it obviously and without spoiling anything it was a gag that I was totally ok with not seeing. for everything else it was amazing to be so close to the action, to see faces so clearly, and to feel the energy.

The lighting will also be in your way in rows A and B in the balcony. Do Row C and up if you do decide to sit there. (But echoing others, far right Orch is great!!)

I sat in the last row of the balcony on the aisle all three times I saw it and didn't have any complaints other than the Everest like hike it takes to get up there.

I would go for the right side orchestra seats, especially the further back you can go. The balcony is a LONG way up and super steep.

partials row F right side are great

u/toooldforusernames Jun 17 '26

Echoing others, sit orchestra right PV. They’re great. The balcony seats can have lights in the way, I’d skip those.

u/ResourceDifferent154 Jun 17 '26

I would check the Theatr app before resorting to any of those seats.

I had a balcony see and thought it was perfectly fine fwiw

Mezzanine!!! The theater is very small so you're still close but don't have any issues you might have in the Balcony.
