I was not expecting a comedy about Mary Lincoln having visted the Lincoln Museum in Springlield, Illinois and being haunted by the final room called the Hall of Whispers. As one walked through there were recorded whispering voices showing the disdain the high society of Washington DC had for Mary. Escola's play is clever and the magnificent cast do it justice. Every scene was riveting. So glad I saw it. I thoroughly recommend it.

Being in London on holiday, we like to look for a great theatre experience. This certainly was it! You could have set your watch to Mason Alexander Park for perfect timing throughout the performance! The entire cast was terrific. We had an extremely entertaining time. Brava!

The experience started when I walked into the theatre. The music that was playing set the tone. It was fun, gay and fantastic. I felt safe and at home as a queer person. The show was spectacular. Mason Park Alexander brought the house down.

Mason Alexander Park was a fabulous Mary and gave great energy even on a random Tuesday night performance. The rest of the cast was very strong as well and the theater was lovely

Love it! Great, outrageously over the top performances. Just missed the handout program. Now I have to do the legs work to look up the wonderful actors.

Utterly hilarious and unpredictably brilliant. Not once could I tell where the show was going and every single beat paid off. A surprise musical number at the end and confetti definitely added to the piece.

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.
