OH, MARY! Previews — Page 3

Haven’t posted on this board in ages. I saw the show last night. I really enjoyed it. I laughed a lot, but thought it was a teeny bit overhyped. (I had built it up a lot.) The laughs per minute ratio wasn’t quite there for me, but comedy is so subjective. I loved the ending.

Anyway, does anyone know the songs played preshow? They’d make a jaunty mix to get my butt moving at the gym.

Also, I have a ticket for July 18, center mezz that I won’t be using. I don’t mind selling at a bit of a loss. I read in a post above that there’s a board for this, so I’ll post it there in case anyone’s interested.

Oh my gosh! Thank you!

Given how hot it will betomorrow (reaching 92 degrees), I wonder if they'll sell ice cream at the Lyceum? I know in West End it's normal to sell ice cream at the theater but somehow it's not that common on Broadway."


Ice cream isn't noisy enough, so probably not.

I won the lottery for this past Friday - ticket was front row center. Great seat for a great show!

I will only say that I think the second balcony seats in the Lyceum are pretty decent. It is a small theatre.

Why wouldn't they? It's the exact same production a few months later.

Sorry, but your post is kind of "Broadway Flash" level dumb.

Not so much of a delight? The audience,I couldn't tell if alcohol or general obnoxiousness, was one of those that you can tell were determined to let everyone know what a good time they were having. Was it a competition with other audience members? Who knows. All I know is that pockets of braying mules insistent on laughing long after the joke, or with anticipation of the next, so loud that you couldn't hear the actual dialogue."

False. I was also at the 5pm show. I had one guy behind me who was slightly annoying. But the audience was nothing like you described.

We could have been sitting next to each other or in the same row.

I am coming to New York the last week of October. Any news/chance this extends to that time?

Because I guess it matters, I was in Orchestra Left Row N."

Same section, row B. I’m telling you, it was one loud honking laugh guy a few rows behind me that would laugh at everything. It was obnoxiously loud but you can’t pick your seat mates. Other than him, our section wasn’t as you described.
