New production photos released of Cole Escola in OH, MARY!

Written by Cole Escola, this off-beat, outrageous dark comedy reimagines the story of Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to the assassination of her husband - formerly 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.

Oh, Mary! won Best Entertainment or Comedy Play at the 2026 Olivier Awards. It has also won a Tony Award 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.

The newly released photos show Cole Escola reprising their Tony Award-winning role as Mary Todd Lincoln, with Giles Terera as Mary’s Husband (in the role that earned him an Oliver Award nomination earlier this year), two-time Emmy Award nominee Michael Urie as Mary’s Teacher, and original Oh, Mary! cast members Bianca Leigh and Tony Macht as Mary’s Chaperone and Mary’s Husband Assistant, respectively.
