This play is snort laughter funny. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. The lead is incredible - captivating, charismatic, hilarious and chaotic with amazing comic timing. The physical comedy in particular is so utterly ridiculous that I actually tipped into cry laughing hysteria. Please do make sure you understand what the play is before you pay to watch. It is not a serious historical play. It's a camp comedy, not based in fact.

The cast of this show was absolutely phenomenal. Mason Alexander Park truly commands the stage- they were funny and charismatic without seeming desperate for laughs or attention. There were multiple moments throughout the show that truly shocked and delighted me, and the staff were engaing and kind before and after the show. All around a wonderful experience.

Absolutely brilliant production. From the Oh Bloody Mary! At the bar, to the theatre setting, world class cast, brilliant music and the enchanting story telling. I was captivated, enthralled and laughed until my cheeks hurt. Loved. Every. Minute. Bravo!

The entire play was "WOW"!!! I've never laughed so hard!!! This play was a hoot from the get-go with a kooky twist at the end. There are some crazy genius minds behind this. I/we loved it.

It was like having the rug pulled out from your expectations at every single scene. We laughed until it hurt. And the audience was just as important a part of the experience.

A bold, twisted comedy that reimagines Mary Todd Lincoln as a cabaret-obsessed, self-destructive diva in the days before her husband Abraham Lincoln's assassination.

The original Broadway smash won Tonys for Best Actor (Cole Escola) and Best Direction (Sam Pinkleton), and broke box-office records.

Starring Mason Alexander Park as Mary, with acclaimed direction by Sam Pinkleton, this irreverent revival promises a fresh, haunting edge.

Themes of loss, yearning, addiction, and identity collide in razor-sharp satire, expect campy staging, sharp wit, and theatrical jolts. Book your Oh, Mary! London tickets now!

The story

In the bleak days before April 1865, Mary Todd Lincoln, bereft, ignored, haunted by defeat, is unraveling. Trapped in a marriage with a closeted president, she oscillates between sipping spirits and plotting cabaret stardom as her inner pain and resentment bubble over. Through the lens of absurdity and scathing humor, Oh, Mary! reveals a woman scorned and forgotten, until she claws back her story. What lengths will she go to reclaim her voice?

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.
