Oh, Mary!
About the Show
OH, MARY! is a dark comedy about a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Unrequited yearning, alcoholism and suppressed desires abound in this one act play that finally examines the forgotten life and dreams of Mrs. Lincoln through the lens of an idiot (playwright Cole Escola).
Declared “one of the best comedies in years” by The New York Times, OH, MARY! received Tony Awards for Best Leading Actor in a Play (Cole Escola) and Best Direction of a Play (Sam Pinkleton), Drama League Awards for Outstanding Play and Outstanding Direction of a Play, as well as a special citation from the New York Drama Critics’ Circle. It was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Six-time Emmy Nominee Tituss Burgess returns as Mary Todd Lincoln for 6 weeks beginning on June 23. RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon assumes the role of Mary Todd Lincoln for 8 weeks starting August 4. Jinkx Monsoon will not appear at the performances on September 9 and 10.

About the Theatre
Lyceum Theatre
149 W 45th St
New York, NY 10036
The Lyceum is Broadway’s oldest continually operating legitimate theatre. Built by producer-manager David Frohman in 1903, it was purchased in 1940 by a conglomerate of producers which included George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. In 1950, the Shuberts took ownership of the theatre, and have operated it ever since.
