Funny AF
"This is probably the funniest show I’ve ever seen and definitely the silliest. Betty Gilpin is BRILLIANT and the rest of the cast is wonderful. Run to see it (unless you’re a prude)."

Hilarious performance
"The play is a small cast ensemble with actors playing multiple parts. Very funny performance of campy characters. Playwright was performing as Mary when I saw it and was so perfect that I cannot imagine another performer doing as well in that role."

Hilarious absurdity.
"I am 70 year old male originally from suburban New Jersey that has seen dozens of Broadway shows.
OH Mary had Superb acting by the original cast. An absurd premise combined with perfectly timed fast-moving, clever, comic dialogue made for a delightful evening.
Brilliant writing with an unexpected climax.
If you enjoy over the top comedy combined with farcical sexuality, you will love this show. "

Not what I expected
"I did not know what to expect beyond Maya Rudolph as Mary Todd Lincoln wanting to be a cabaret singer. It was an odd, but pleasant surprise. I did find it funny but not side-splitting funny which is what I expected. Still, if I had the opportunity to go again I would. "
"This show was fresh and unique. All the actors were great, delivering performances that are memorable. Loved the revisionist history. "

A Creative Use of Satiric Comedy
"From beginning to end, the work is propelled by comedic dialogue, and the actors are all endowed with the power to make you laugh. It was disappointing that Titus’s Burgess was absent for our performance, but his understudy was very good. "

Not for the faint of heart or homophobes

Maya Rudolf is great in an overgrown SNL sketch
"Maya Rudolf is great and the last 10 minutes are a blast, but it really is an R rated, overgrown SNL sketch with some frat boy comedy moments."

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.
