About the show

Cole Escola's Tony Award-winning Broadway comedy makes its West End debut at Trafalgar Theatre with Mason Alexander Park as Mary Todd Lincoln. Book Oh, Mary! tickets for "one of the best comedies in years" (The New York Times).

What is Oh, Mary! about?

Oh, Mary! reimagines the final weeks of Mary Todd Lincoln's life in the White House through the deliriously absurd lens of playwright Cole Escola. In this wickedly funny alternative history at the Trafalgar Theatre, Mary is a frustrated former cabaret performer trapped in a miserable marriage, yearning to return to the stage while her husband Abraham busies himself with the American Civil War. Alcoholism, unrequited desires, and suppressed dreams collide in 80 minutes of relentless comedy.

Declared "one of the best comedies in years" by The New York Times and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Oh, Mary! tickets offer audiences the chance to experience the most acclaimed new comedy of the decade. Book now for this strictly limited West End engagement!
