Meg Stalter Will Don the Bratty Curls in Oh, Mary! on Broadway

Hacks star Meg Stalter will make her Broadway debut as Mary Todd Lincoln in Cole Escola’s Oh, Mary! at the Lyceum Theatre, July 6-September 12.

Maya Rudolph, who is currently in the role of Mary, will play her final performance July 5.

Directed by Sam Pinkleton, Oh, Mary! is a historically dubious account of Mary Todd Lincoln’s White House ennui, and her quest to salvage her stage career at the height of the American civil war. It open to rave reviews off-Broadway in early 2024, before transferring to Broadway that summer. It was nominated for five Tony Awards, with Escola winning Best Actor for their performance as Mary, and Pinkleton winning for direction.

TheaterMania’s review calls it, “without a doubt, the funniest comedy on Broadway right now.”

The scene-stealing Stalter plays Kayla in Hacks, opposite Jean Smart, Hannah Einbinder and Paul W. Downs. Last year, Stalter starred as the lead of Netflix’s romantic comedy series Too Much, created by Lena Dunham and Luis Felber.
