The comedic stage play has been playing on Broadway since last July, and now London audiences will get a chance to experience the "howlingly funny, a bona fide phenomenon" for themselves!

The play by Cole Escola is a comedic spoof about the lives of Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln. Set in the days leading up to Lincoln's assassination, Oh, Mary! follows the suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln.

It's an 80-minute play which examines unrequited yearning, alcoholism, and suppressed desires. Peppered with a signature style of humour that critics have loved, this play showcases the forgotten life and dreams of Mrs. Lincoln. Oh, Mary! premiered off-Broadway in January 2024 and now plays at Broadway's Lyceum Theatre.

The West End premiere will see Mason Alexander Park (Cabaret, Kit Kat Club) star as Mary Todd Lincoln, alongside Kate O’Donnell (Big Girl's Blouse, Soho Theatre) as Mary’s Chaperone, Oliver Stockley (Cabaret, Kit Kat Club) as Mary’s Husband’s Assistant, with Dino Fetscher (The Normal Heart, National Theatre) as Mary’s Teacher and Giles Terera (Hamilton, Victoria Palace Theatre) as Mary’s Husband.

Oh, Mary! will play at the Trafalgar Theatre from 3 December to 25 April, where Clarkston plays from 15 October to 15 December and stars Joe Locke.
