Oh Mary!

Oh Mary! at Fisher Theatre

Why see Oh Mary!?

Mary Mary Quite Contrary

Casting to be announced!

The day of triumph has surely arrived! Cole Escola's Tony-winning play is finally going on tour. Oh Mary! Is an irreverent dark comedy that imagines Mary Todd Lincoln as a restless, cabaret-loving misfit spiraling through absurdity, blending sharp satire, campy theatricality, and chaotic humor into a boldly original theatrical experience.

A huge hit on Broadway and now enjoying a run in London's West End, don't miss out on this exciting and hilarious chance to see the First Lady as you've never seen her!

What Is The Story?

In early 1865, Abraham Lincoln was swiftly and unknowingly approaching the end of his life. During this time, we see Mary, his  "foul and hateful wife" stifled and unhappy, dealing with a life that wasn't what she intended as she works her way through her lifelong desires and unfulfilled dreams. In this raucous five-star comedic tour-de-force, we see Mary launch herself into the world of theatre with aplomb, leading to a fantastically ridiculous finale as silly as Lincoln himself was serious!
