Oh, Mary!

About the Show

Winner of 2 Tony Awards in 2025 including Best Leading Actor in a Play – Cole Escola!

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

Oh, Mary! is an uproariously 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 80-minute one-act play that finally examines the forgotten life and dreams of Mrs. Lincoln, through the lens of an idiot (playwright Cole Escola).

Now playing at the Lyceum Theatre, this must-see new Broadway comedy has quickly become one of the most popular things to do in NYC for theatre lovers and comedy fans alike.

Described as “THE FUNNIEST PLAY ON BROADWAY” by Entertainment Weekly and “ONE OF THE BEST COMEDIES IN YEARS” by the New York Times, see why this new play on Broadway is rated 90% “EXCELLENT” on Show Score.

Actor and comedian Bowen Yang will make his Broadway debut in Cole Escola’s Oh, Mary! beginning Tuesday, September 15 for a limited engagement through December 6. Yang will play the title role of Mary, currently portrayed by Meg Stalter through September 12.

Yang will be joined by onstage at the Lyceum Theatre by Phillip James Brannon (‘Mary’s Husband’), Barrett Foa (‘Mary’s Teacher’), Bianca Leigh (‘Mary’s Chaperone’), and returning original cast member Tony Macht (‘Mary’s Teacher’s Assistant’).
