Oh, Mary! Is a comedy play written and originally performed by American comedian Cole Escola. The show takes a sharply satirical look at the lives of Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln, focusing on the days leading up to Lincoln’s assassination at Ford’s Theatre while they are watching the play Our American Cousin.

Rather than presenting a traditional historical drama, Oh, Mary! Leans fully into spoof and camp. Mary Todd Lincoln is portrayed as a temperamental alcoholic trapped in an unhappy marriage to a deeply closeted President Lincoln. At the same time, she is desperate to reclaim her past glory as a cabaret star, giving the play a theatrical, showbiz edge alongside its political and historical send-up.

The title Oh, Mary! Comes from a slang phrase used among gay men for decades, signaling the play’s strong connection to queer culture and sensibility. That sensibility runs through the writing, the humor, and the way the show reimagines well-known historical figures through a modern, irreverent lens.

Cole Escola not only wrote the play but also starred in it, bringing their own comedic style to the central role. The combination of sharp writing, bold character choices, and a distinctive tone has helped Oh, Mary! Stand out among contemporary stage comedies.

Oh, Mary! First made its mark with an off-Broadway run at the Lucille Lortel Theatre under the direction of Sam Pinkleton. That production drew enough attention and praise to move to Broadway, where the show opened at the Lyceum Theatre on July 11, 2024. The Broadway transfer proved to be a major success.

Oh, Mary! Earned critical acclaim and was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, placing it among the most talked-about new plays of its season. It was also nominated for five Tony Awards, underscoring how strongly it resonated with both critics and the theatre community.

At the Tony Awards, Oh, Mary! Won Best Direction of a Play and Best Actor in a Play. Cole Escola’s win for Best Actor was especially notable, as they became the first non-binary winner in that category. This recognition highlighted both the quality of the performance and the broader cultural impact of the show.

The play’s success was not limited to the United States. Oh, Mary! Went on to have a West End production in London, where it continued to draw attention and acclaim. That production won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Entertainment or Comedy Play in 2026, one of the top honors in British theatre.

Together, the off-Broadway run at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, the Broadway engagement at the Lyceum Theatre, and the award-winning West End production show how Oh, Mary! Has grown from a new comedy into an internationally recognized stage hit.

Oh, Mary! Stands out in contemporary theatre for the way it blends historical figures, queer humor, and emotional undercurrents into a single, tightly written comedy. By centering Mary Todd Lincoln as a volatile, ambitious, and often chaotic lead, the play gives a familiar name a completely unexpected personality, turning a First Lady from history books into a cabaret-obsessed anti-hero.

The show also plays with the idea of public image versus private life. President Lincoln is depicted as deeply closeted, while Mary is consumed by her own frustrated desire for stardom. Those tensions create a backdrop where jokes and one-liners sit alongside themes of repression, performance, and the costs of living a life that doesn’t match your true self.

Critically, Oh, Mary! Has been recognized at the highest levels. Being named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama signals that, beneath its outrageous humor, the play has real literary and theatrical weight. Multiple Tony nominations, wins for Best Direction of a Play and Best Actor in a Play, and the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Entertainment or Comedy Play in the West End all point to a production that connects with audiences and professionals on both sides of the Atlantic.

Cole Escola’s work on Oh, Mary! Has also helped push representation forward on major stages. Their Tony win as the first non-binary performer to receive Best Actor in a Play marks a significant moment in awards history and reflects how the industry is slowly broadening its understanding of gender and performance.

For audiences, all of this translates into a show that feels fresh and daring while still being accessible and very funny. If you are considering tickets, you are looking at a play that has already made a strong mark on Broadway, the West End, and the wider conversation about what modern comedy on stage can be.

Oh, Mary! Has been closely associated with major theatre centers in both the United States and the United Kingdom. Its Broadway run at the Lyceum Theatre in New York and its West End production in London established it firmly in two of the world’s most important theatre markets.

Beyond those flagship productions, the show can appear at other prominent venues as it continues to be staged. Upcoming and recent listings include theatres such as the Lyceum Theatre in New York, Trafalgar Theatre in London, Curran Theatre in San Francisco, Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, CIBC Theatre in Chicago, Emerson Colonial Theatre in Boston, the National Theatre in Washington, DC, and the Ordway Music Theater at the Ordway Center for Performing Arts in Saint Paul.

The live calendar above will show which of these venues, and which cities, currently have performances on sale. Because productions can be limited engagements or part of broader seasons, availability may shift over time, with some cities hosting the show for a set run while others may see it added later.
