Oh, Mary! is the comedy on the Broadway Week list, and the one production here whose ticket price has least to do with spectacle.
Why that changes the maths
Most of the list is big houses where you are paying for stagecraft and the seat determines how much of it reaches you. This is the opposite case. The Lyceum is one of the smallest Broadway houses, so the offer buys proximity rather than merely a seat — and in a small room built for a comic performance, proximity is most of what you were paying for in the first place.
A two-for-one on a comedy in a 900-seat house is a materially different purchase from a two-for-one in a 1,600-seat musical barn. It is also the case on this list where the worst available seat is least likely to ruin the evening.
Where
The Lyceum Theatre, 149 West 45th Street — the oldest continuously operating Broadway theatre, opened in 1903, and a landmarked building inside and out.
The catch
Blackout dates are set per production and the discounted seats are a limited allocation. A small house means a small allocation: this is one to check early rather than late in the fortnight.
Small house, small allocation. The two-for-one inventory at the Lyceum is a fraction of what the Gershwin or the Lyric can release, so the practical advice differs from the rest of the list: for this one, treat the on-sale date as the deadline rather than the offer's closing date.
