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!

Could have lived without the overt sexual antics
"Well acted, funny at times, chaotic — interesting twist."

If you liked Book of Mormon, you'll love this!
"Tituss Burgess was terrific. Humor in the show was nothing new. Same tired , obvious and worn out "naughty" jokes. Well done production of nothing new."

Is it funny?
"The show is farcical in its construction. If the female lead character is played by a male, maybe it’s easier to find the humor? But when the lead is played by a woman, making fun of a mentally ill alcoholic is tough. In real life, Mary Lincoln suffered from chronic depression. Making that the butt of the joke is harsh. But, if you don’t know history, and making fun of handicaps is humorous to you, then I think you will find the show funny. "

Oh. Mary is just Oh, Kay
"Sketch comedy doesn’t quite pay off. Funny premise and some funny lines but structure is weak as is climax. Looks tired already and the actors talked so fast I couldn’t understand s lot of the dialogue - farce is not fast, it’s intense! Oh, well…"
