Michael Urie’s ‘Oh, Mary!’ Broadway Ticket Prices Revealed
Look, I do not want to nag you about spending money, but here we are with Michael Urie’s new holiday comedy Oh, Mary! officially taking up residence on Broadway. The show kicked off previews in February and opened March 7 at the Shubert Theatre. If you are wondering how many of your hard earned dollars you will have to part with to see Urie play a fussy Joseph, the breakdown below is for you.
Standard seats start at $79 and top out at $199 for orchestra and mezzanine performances, according to ticket inventory data from TodayTix. If you are willing to hunt for discount codes or snag a rush seat on the day of performance, you might score a standing room only spot for as little as $49. BroadwayWorld reports that premium seats, which include prime center orchestra and front mezzanine, can climb up to $319 on official Shubert Theatre sale channels. But before you tap that purchase button, consider this: student rush deals from TodayTix will get you into the house for $49, though you must show a valid school ID at the box office and line up early.
Resale platforms tell a slightly different story. According to Playbill, StubHub’s average resale rate for Oh, Mary! is around $182 per ticket, with the priciest single seats going for nearly $400 when demand spikes around holiday weekends. If you are tracking opening night or weekend holiday performances, expect surcharges from third party outlets that can inflate your bill by 25 to 30 percent. For example, a row C center orchestra seat that lists for $199 on the official site might ring up closer to $250 after fees.
Here is what you need to know in plain English without the fluff. If you plan ahead and are flexible on seating location, budget $100 to $150 per ticket. If you want a guaranteed front orchestra experience, aim for the $199 to $319 bracket on the box office platform. If you are a last minute deal hunter or student, show up with $49 and cross your fingers at rush. Weekends, holidays and VIP packages will nudge those prices upward. That is simply how Broadway economics work, folks.
On performance nights, the Shubert Theatre box office opens two hours before curtain for day of show purchases. Tickets cannot be transferred or resold without penalty through the official site, so double check your date before you pay. Mobile entry is available for convenience but print your receipt in case you run into a scanning glitch. Seats are limited for each performance, so once availability drops, you are left staring at a “sold out” message.
Feel free to shop around. Sites like TodayTix and BroadwayBox sometimes run promo credits or flash sales, but check their fine print for blackout dates. Subscribing to theatre newsletters may land you occasional coupon codes good for $20 off. If you prefer total peace of mind, buy directly from the Shubert Theatre box office. Yes, you may pay full price, but at least you avoid surprise fees.
And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things if you do not plan ahead. Happy holiday show hunting.
