Award-winning actress Jane Krakowski is best known for her role as Jenna Maroney on the Emmy Award-winning network comedy 30 Rock. She recently starred as Bobbie Flanagan in Apple TV's Schmicago and Schmigadoon!, and previously appeared as Elaine Vassal in Ally McBeal; Jacqueline White in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt; and Mrs. Dickinson in Dickinson. Onstage, she recently starred in the 2025 production of Here We Are at London’s National Theatre for which she was nominated for the Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical, and won a Tony Award for her portrayal of Carla in the Broadway musical Nine.
After playing the role of Mary Todd Lincoln on Broadway, where her celebrated 8-week run was extended by a further 4 weeks, Krakowski will return to the role in the West End from 7 December 2026 to 16 January 2026.
Oh, Mary! reimagines the story of Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to the assassination of her husband - US president Abraham Lincoln. In this tongue-in-cheek take on history, Mary is a foul-tempered alcoholic, stuck in an unhappy marriage with the deeply closeted Abe, desperate to relive her glory days as a cabaret dancer.
Lolly Adefope is currently playing Mary Todd Lincoln in the Olivier Award-winning West End production, which opened in December 2025. Her final performance will be on Saturday 5 December. Casting for the role of Mary Todd Lincoln from 18 January 2027 onwards is due to be announced.
Oh, Mary! has also extended its West End run and is now booking until 5 June 2027.
