Oh, Mary!

“You’ll laugh until there are tears in your eyes.”—TheaterMania

Jane Krakowski will star as 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 (Cole Escola).

Krakowski will be joined by Grammy and Emmy Award nominee Cheyenne Jackson as Mary’s Teacher and Tony Award nominee John-Andrew Morrison as Mary’s Husband for performances through December 7. Continuing cast members include Jenn Harris (Mary’s Chaperone) and Martin Landry (Mary’s Husband’s Assistant). Hannah Solow, Julian Manjerico, and Sean Peter Forte complete the company.
