Oh, Mary!

Oh, Mary! is a new play by Cole Escola, who also stars as Mary Todd Lincoln. This is a dark comedy that reimagines Mary Lincoln's life in the lead-up to her husband's assassination, blending historical figures with contemporary humor and a distinct downtown sensibility. The play has received strong reviews for its unique take on the period and Escola's performance. The show runs at the Lyceum Theatre in New York, NY on Tuesday, September 22, 2026. This is a Broadway theatrical production, so expect a full stage show in a traditional theater setting. It's a good fit for those who enjoy historical satire, queer comedy, and character-driven performances.
