Cole Escola's comedy 'Oh, Mary!' is set to transfer to Broadway this summer for a limited run following a highly successful off-Broadway stint. The play, which humorously reimagines Mary Todd Lincoln as a whimsical chanteuse, had a sold-out, twice-extended run at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in downtown Manhattan. Despite not securing a spot at the Booth Theater, the production will be showcased at the Lyceum Theatre. The play has been noted for its unique take on American history and marks a significant step for Escola, a playwright known for their distinctive comedic style.
Great to see Broadway producers taking a chance on a giddy queer comedy that plays fast and loose with American history. Not to mention giving hilarious playwright and resplendent star Cole Escola their turn in a larger spotlight. OH, MARY! is a riot https://t.co/VfIms2GcMy
