Cole Escola Sets Final Oh, Mary! Show; Tituss Burgess Rejoining as Mary Todd Lincoln

Double Tony-nominee Cole Escola will play their final performance as Mary Todd Lincoln in their Broadway comedy Oh, Mary! on June 21.

On Monday, June 23, Emmy nominee Tituss Burgess (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) will return to role of Mary Todd Lincoln for an encore six-week engagement through Saturday, August 2. Burgess previously played the role earlier this year. Tickets for the Broadway production at the Lyceum Theatre are now on sale through September 28.

A historically dubious wartime comedy, Oh, Mary! is about bored alcoholic housewife Mary Todd Lincoln, who pines for the cabaret stage but is constantly undermined by her homosexual husband, who just happens to be the President of the United States.

Oh, Mary! had its world-premiere opening in February 2024 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, where it quickly became the must-have ticket of the off-Broadway season. It transferred to the Lyceum over the summer. TheaterMania’s critic has called it “the funniest comedy on Broadway.” It is nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best Play.

The production is directed by Sam Pinkleton.
