Let me nothing else!

"Oh, Mary was the most fun and innovative show in years! The premise, the antics, the script were pure farce executed masterfully. The performances, particularly Cole Escola’s, sheer magic. I laughed until it hurt!"

Riotously Funny!

"My adult daughter and I had a fantastic time at the show. Very funny and unexpected hilarity. Perhaps equally delightful was getting to meet and take pictures with Cole Escola at the stage door! Awesome night of Broadway!"

The fever dream I never knew I needed

"Cole Escola as Mary Todd was incredible. Completely relatable like the petulant child we all were or wish to become. Conrad Ricamora as Abe Lincoln was the perfect balance to Mary. The characters were written hilariously and beautifully and had me wishing I could be as crazy. Nobody missed a beat and the story flowed like a dream that I once had when I had a forty two degree fever. It was smart and clever and took a little piece of history and imagined what it could’ve been. It is a wonderful piece of story telling packaged in a relatable and modern sense that’ll surely get everybody googling which parts of which actually happened. "

FUNNIEST SHOW I'VE EVER SEEN.

"This show was a joke machine. Cole Escola is BRILLIANT and unhinged. I want to go back to see Titus and Jinx in the role! Obsessed is an understatement. "

A Tour de Force

"Not a history lesson, but far more enjoyable then pedantry offers! The laughs are constant -- from the opening scene through the perfect denouement! Open minds will enjoy it thoroughly. Closed minds should stay away. "

A belly laugh!

"When I say that this performance takes off running that would be an understatement! I was belly laughing for much of the show! The acting was stellar! I saw three Broadway shows on this trip and this one by far was the best! "

I laughed for 90 min non-stop

History in the Making

"The funniest and most creative work Ive seen in some time. I had to get a ticket before Cole Escola takes a break from the show. Tony award winner Cole Escola was absolutely sublime and far surpassed my expectations. I knew it was going to be great but I’m literally speechless since the curtain came down last night. The whole cast rocked but Cole’s creation and execution were such a treat. I had the pleasure of a front row seat. Worth every penny! I can’t stop telling everyone i know how exciting it was to witness this history in the making — before Cole ‘s last performance - Cole has really outdone themself!!). Thank you for this Cole!! "

Comedy genius

"The comedic timing of the Oh Mary! troupe is a master class. I haven't laughed so hard in quite some time. Cole Escola is a comedy genius to reinvent history through such a hilarious retelling of Mary Todd Lincoln as First Lady. Broadway needs more laughter of this caliber. Can't wait to see this production again one day. "

Incredible!

"I had a spiritual experience watching the brilliance on stage in Oh Mary! The cast is overflowing with talent and it was incredible to watch. "

...

Dr. Jacob B from Chicago on Jun 1, 2025

Absolutely Loved It!

"I loved the energy of the show. It wakes you up and keeps you laughing for the entire 80minute-duration and for days to come. A 100ml/hr pace never slowed down! Sensational cast! I was thinking of Cole E. but every single actor in that small cast show is fabulous. Cole E. is the star and the engine of the show - funny, unapologetic, creative, and fantastic - not a false move or gesture! I haven't seen anything like it in years!"

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.
