Play That Goes Wrong Balcony View

Hi! Looking into the $30 balcony seats. Any opinion on the best place to sit? I'm weary about the front row. There seems to be a bar at eye level in the front row.

Opinions and recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Did you check out the pics on aviewfrommyseat.com ? I always look there before I buy tix.

I sat in Row B of the Mezz for Oh Hello and Row E for TPTGW. I was quite happy with the Mezz - think I paid $59 for TPTGW via some discount but it was worth the extra money. I noticed the shot from the balcony while watching Oh Hello on Netflix and it looked soooo much higher and farther away than my Mezz seats. There's so much going on on that stage that I don't know that I'd want to be in the balcony. And the show is hilarious!

The Lyceum is very small, and you can't really go wrong with either the mezz or orchestra in my opinion. I haven't sat in the balcony, though. For TPTGW specifically, I believe I sat in around Row O of the orchestra – practically in the back – and still had a wonderful view and missed nothing.

I saw the show from the balcony in April. My ticket was unfortunately on house left and I missed an entire bit because I couldn't see part of the set. I ended up moving to a front row balcony seat at intermission which was much better. That's where I sat for Oh Hello. There are lights hanging from the front of the balcony so you have to sit up or lean forward to see the entire stage, but they are great seats. I hope you have a great time!

I've sat in the mezzanine and in the balcony, and while I think the mezzanine is the perfect spot for the show, front balcony is solid too. It's high up but it's not too far, you see it all. And the actors definitely make their way around every section before the show and during intermission, they're hilarious. My advice is DEFINITELY see this, and if you can afford it, spring for the mezzanine. It makes the experience better.

But don't sing on the far left hand side of the theater (stage right), as you'll miss the hilarious lighting & sound guy.
