"My self and my husband are musical fans so we dont often see plays. I heard so many great things about this show from TV and other social media. We are also fans of Cole Escola and Conrad Ricamora. We were planning a weeknd in NY for the holiday and once I noticed that Oh Mary was extended I bought 2 tickets ASAP.
We were so happy with the show. We laughed and liked the story and everyone was great in it. "

Side splitting
"Typically, I’m a “smile with occasional laugh” when I’m enjoying a show. Not during Oh Mary! I laughed out loud - HARD. Throughout. A review would never do it justice - just this show!!!"

An absolutely wonderful show!!!
"This show was hilarious from the pre-curtain announcements to the final words. I didn’t stop laughing the whole way through. And I don’t mean chuckling or smiling. I mean laughing. Incredibly clever humor throughout. And the acting was amazing, bringing out the humor every step of the way. "

Absolutely hilarious
"The show is a raunchy comedy about a fictionalized Mary Todd Lincoln. Only a special person, Cole Escola, could write and then act that part. Nothing could have prepared me for the plot twists of the show. A fabulously hilarious bit of theater! "

Worth a trip from Ireland
"That I entirely forgot about the vertigo induced by my nosebleed seat in the balcony within 30 seconds of curtain up is a testament to the sheer hilarity and antic perfection that is "Oh, Mary!"
I laughed so hard my face still hurts days later, and I'm not remotely mad about it (or the jetlag).
Thank you to the entire company, crew, and staff for a magical experience.

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.
