"My 64-year-old dad was shaking with laughter, my 24-year-old brother said it was the most perfect, well-executed comedy he’s ever seen, and my English cousins we just trying to figure out who John Wilkes Booth was. Truly the most hilarious and fun night ever. Jane Krakowski killed it. Would see it again and again and again and again…"

SO Damn Brilliant & Funny
"This show was so much fun. I haven't laughed that hard during a play in a long time. It is raunchy as hell, but just a blast of solid entertainment. We were there between Jinkx and Jane, and Hannah was amazing. There needs to be more known about her because it would be a shame for someone to pass and not go see it if she's filling in. She clearly has it down, solid. The only thing I would change would be the two people who sat in front of us who perhaps found each other totally void of a sense of humor and thought it was kizmet. That said, I hate those seats were wasted on them."

Not the Mary Todd I was expecting
"This show was hilarious!! Jane was excellent! Once you got beyond the surprise that they portrayed Abraham Lincoln as a black president, not sure why, it was great. Don’t go into it expecting any true facts, its a comedy!!"

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! received Tony Awards for Best Leading Actor in a Play (Cole Escola) and Best Direction of a Play (Sam Pinkleton), Drama League Awards for Outstanding Play and Outstanding Direction of a Play, as well as a special citation from the New York Drama Critics’ Circle. It was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
