About Oh, Mary!

Oh, Mary! is a 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).

Declared “one of the best comedies in years” by The New York Times, Oh, Mary! has been heralded as the funniest play on Broadway by the New York Post, Entertainment Weekly, Variety, Time Out New York, and The Guardian. “It’s a bona fide phenomenon,” raves The Wall Street Journal, and Variety calls it “unquestionably the funniest, gayest, campiest play Broadway has seen in years.”

Oh, Mary! is now extended through June 28, 2025. EmmyⓇ nominee Betty Gilpin (GLOW, American Primeval) stars as Mary Todd Lincoln through March 16. Tituss Burgess (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, 30 Rock) stars as Mary Todd Lincoln beginning March 18 for three weeks only!

Good show
"I enjoyed the show and found it funny. The premise is hysterical. I admit I found the show raunchy and the profanity extreme. Too much for me. But I still laughed. I have read that the show is appropriate for children 14+. Absolutely not. "

Vulgar but Betty Gilpin is great
"The show was pretty vulgar. Kind of shocking what is on Broadway now. Almost felt more like the sort of thing you would find at a gay club or a drag show. Except the lead played by Betty Gilpin was fantastic and she is obviously a super talent. She’s very funny and delivers an amazing performance. But overall it’s just kind of a gay romp/farce that’s pretty absurd and feels more like a long skit. Definitely do not bring anyone under 18 to this show "

Forgettable
"Mary, the lead character was absolutely terrific. We were in the front row, and every moment of her performance was outstanding. The play is very light, not much to comment about. I would not recommend it."

Not great
"Acting was superb. I am not a fan of slapstick sexual humor and I was bored. Again, acting was exceptional."

A madcap farce
"The people around me were mostly laughing their heads off. I mostly didn’t find it so hilarious "

Just okay
"I was disappointed with this show. I appreciated how the actors really gave their best. They were all very talented. But the plot was a little too silly even for a farce, and I didn’t think the raunchy tone helped. It was overpriced and not a good value in my opinion. "
