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

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.

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.

Without a doubt the hardest I've ever laughed at a show in my life. Maybe the most I've ever laughed ever.
