Oh, Mary!
By Cole Escola
Oh Mary is the untold story of Mary Todd Lincoln which won the Tony Awards for Best Director and Best Actor in a Play, as well as being shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize. It's also incredibly stupid and I have never laughed so much in a place of work. My duties are to maintain the standard of the show, rehearse the understudies and lead replacement cast rehearsals as the run continues.
Recently, we created a film of the show to be released in 2027 for which I was also the associate director.
Replacement casts: Scott Karim, Catherine Tate, Michael Urie, Bianca Leigh, Tony Macht, Cole Escola
