Hi all. I am looking at two dates for Oh Mary! and the only seats left are front row. I hear that stage is pretty high. How bad is it? I am glad the show is selling briskly but darn there is so little inventory. Any insight would be great.

Front row of the Lyceum doesn't get great reviews on aviewfrommyseat

It's fine.  I sat in Row A (can't remember if that's front or second row) -- it's definitely close, but I didn't feel as if I'd missed any part of the show sitting up that close.  Definitely had to look up most of the time given the height of the stage, but I never felt like I had to crane my neck/strain myself to see things.  (That said, YMMV, as I'm 5'9", the country's most meh height for a man.)

It’s not that bad. I thought front row at Sweeney Todd (Lunt-Fontanne theater) was worse. I’m also 5’9 and sat front row orchestra at Oh Mary back in late June during previews (upgraded my seat from balcony when unsold front row tix decreased from premium price to regular price.) 

Yes there were moments you can accidentally be a peeping Tom since you’re looking up but honestly didn’t feel like my neck was hurting. The lady next to me who is around 5 feet was smart and brought her own inflatable booster cushion.

The front row partial view is great.

I won lottery during previews and sat in the front row. View was great. It's totally fine.
