Rush Strategy for Oh, Mary!
Rushing Oh, Mary! is a demanding early-morning rush that rewards committed early birds. Across 40 community reports, the median reported arrival time is 7:15 AM. Arrive by 8:00 AM for a good chance at tickets. At box office open, reporters have counted a median of about 13 people already in line, so aim to beat that. Reported success rates are high (around 100% of confirmed reports walked away with tickets), which suggests supply has mostly kept up with the line. Thursdays have drawn the most reports, so expect heavier competition then; midweek tends to be easier. Rush tickets run $39 at the Lyceum Theatre. Rush timing: box office open. Heads up: arrival times run earlier on single-show days, when all rush demand lands on one performance. Two-show days tend to be a bit easier than the average here. All figures are community-reported, not official box office policy.
