Oh, Mary! follows the 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
"What to like…every bit of it.

"This show was hilarious from the pre-curtain announcements to the final words. I didn’t stop laughing the whole way through. And I don’t mean chuckling or smiling. I mean laughing. Incredibly clever humor throughout. And the acting was amazing, bringing out the humor every step of the way. "

"The show is a raunchy comedy about a fictionalized Mary Todd Lincoln. Only a special person, Cole Escola, could write and then act that part. Nothing could have prepared me for the plot twists of the show. A fabulously hilarious bit of theater! "

"That I entirely forgot about the vertigo induced by my nosebleed seat in the balcony within 30 seconds of curtain up is a testament to the sheer hilarity and antic perfection that is "Oh, Mary!"
I laughed so hard my face still hurts days later, and I'm not remotely mad about it (or the jetlag).
Thank you to the entire company, crew, and staff for a magical experience.

"I really liked the story line. Took a while to warm up to it. Once I did I absolutely enjoyed it. High energy and great acting by all in the cast.
Explosive ending.
The Himalayan stair climb to the balcony will test you legs."
