About Oh, Mary!
Starring as Mary Todd Lincdoln:
Lolly Adefope 28 September - 5 December
Jane Krakowski 7 December - 16 Jan
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).
Declared “one of the best comedies in years” by The New York Times, Oh, Mary! received Tony Awards for Best Leading Actor in a Play (Cole Escola) and Best Direction of a Play (Sam Pinkleton).
Following its critically acclaimed success and Olivier Award win for Best Entertainment or Comedy Play, Oh, Mary! has now extended through to 2027.

Lolly Adefope as Mary Todd Lincoln, Lucy Frederick as Mary’s Chaperone, J.R. Ballantyne as Mary’s Husband’s Assistant, Vinnie Heaven as Mary’s Teacher, and Syrus Lowe as Mary’s Husband.

“Gloriously unhinged camp comedy that leaves you breathless”
Deliriously Camp Historical Absurdity
Oh, Mary! delivers 80 minutes of relentless, laugh-out-loud chaos that reimagines Mary Todd Lincoln as a boozy, cabaret-obsessed force of nature. Audiences consistently praise the sharp, witty script ...
