I feel insane! I don't think I've laughed this hard in ages. Genuinely started choking on my spit. Mason Alexander Park ate it up. Janitors went home early since the stage was so clean after: no crumbs! (okay maybe some confetti).

The play was unhinged in the best possible way! The crowd - from teens to grands - seemed to really enjoy it. "Oh, Mother" was deployed more than once during our visit to the National Portrait Gallery the following day!

It was brilliant! Production first class and actors were on top of their game. An alternative take on a historical event. Best way to spend 90 minutes on a rainy London evening..

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.

This play was not good, the reimagining of Abraham Lincoln as a predatory sodomist was something I was not prepared for.

A true comedy. For non-theater lovers as well. The leading role was absolutely brilliant, a charismatic triple threat!
