Easily accessible by tube or walking . Small,intimate theatre with great atmosphere and staff. So close to the action and actors. Lots of places to eat. Before the theatre, we combined with a walk through Trafalgar Square all the way to Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park - wish we'd had longer. Atmosphere after show was vibrant and exciting.

The theater was intimate and beautifully done. It had the feel of large theaters but better. We happened to see the marquee on "hop on hop off bus" and thought why not? So glad we did. The cast was magnificent and the set exactly what was needed. Well done guys!

The premise is preposterous and the show is a hilarious farce. The actors were excellent in their roles. The price is right, the theatre is intimate and there's really not a bad seat in the house. It's a fun night out!

The theatre doesn't have a bad seat in the house which makes for a great experience. The show itself was hilarious and probably one of my favorites ever. The actress that played Mary was great. #VanillaIceCream

I thought the cast performed their roles very well, especially the actress who played Mary Todd Lincoln. Her physical humor and big finale were highlights. I had mixed feelings about the storyline itself. Lincoln as a character enabled the use of hoop skirts and banana curls as comic props, and also set up the twist at Ford's Theatre. But to take a reverered man in history, and have him cursing and acting as if he were receiving oral sex on stage seemed more cheap than clever.

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.
