Oh, Mary!

Oh, Mary! is a new play by Cole Escola, who also stars in this production. It’s a dark comedy that reimagines the final days of Mary Todd Lincoln, focusing on her struggles with mental health and her relationship with Abraham. Escola’s work often blends historical figures with contemporary humor and a distinct, sharp wit, so expect a fresh take on a familiar historical period. This theatrical run at the Lyceum Theatre in New York offers a chance to see a new, acclaimed play in a classic Broadway house. It’s likely to appeal to those who appreciate historical satire, queer-coded narratives, and performances that push comedic boundaries within a dramatic framework.
