TONY AWARD-WINNING HIT COMEDY
OH, MARY!
EXTENDS THROUGH JULY 2026
TONY AWARD WINNER
JANE KRAKOWSKI
TO PLAY ‘MARY TODD LINCOLN’
BEGINNING OCTOBER 14
New York, NY (September 2, 2025) — Producers Kevin McCollum & Lucas McMahon and Mike Lavoie & Carlee Briglia announced today that Oh, Mary!, the two time Tony Award-winning hit comedy will extend again, with performances now on-sale through Sunday, July 5, 2026. Beginning October 14, Tony, Olivier, and Critics’ Choice Award–winning actress Jane Krakowski (“30 Rock,” “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”) will join the company in the role of ‘Mary Todd Lincoln’ for a limited eight-week engagement in Cole Escola’s hit comedy through December 7, 2025.
“Thank you, Cole, for giving us this madcap work of genius, directed to perfection by Tony Award winner Sam Pinkleton,” said Krakowski. “I am so honored to slip into the bratty curls previously worn by (my Tony Award winning zaddy) Cole Escola, (my sister wife) Betty Gilpin, (my comedy brother) Tituss Burgess, and (mother) Jinkx Monsoon. From the first time I watched Oh, Mary! downtown I thought, ‘how do I get myself on that stage in this role?’ After watching Cole take the NYC taxi ride uptown and now worshipping it four times more, I made it! Oh, Mary! is a comedic work of genius that ends up in my dream version of 7 minutes in heaven.”
The Tony Award-winning Krakowski returns to the Broadway stage following her Tony-nominated performance in She Loves Me (2016), taking over the role of ‘Mary Todd Lincoln’ following Award Winning Drag Queen and Recording Artist Jinkx Monsoon. Krakowski joins an esteemed group of actors to play ‘Mary,’ also including Emmy Nominee Tituss Burgess, Emmy Nominee Betty Gilpin, and the Tony Award-winning original star and playwright, Cole Escola. Monsoon will play her final performance as previously announced on September 28. Original Off-Broadway and Broadway company member Hannah Solow (Oklahoma! National Tour) will play the title role from Tuesday, September 30 through Sunday, October 12.
Directed by 2025 Tony Award winner Sam Pinkleton, Oh, Mary! opened on Broadway on July 11, 2024 at the Lyceum Theatre, where it became the first show in the theater’s 121-year history to gross more than $1,000,000 in a single week. Oh, Mary! has since broken its own box office record twelve times, and became the first show of the 2024-25 Broadway season to recoup its investment. Oh, Mary! is produced on Broadway by Kevin McCollum & Lucas McMahon and Mike Lavoie & Carlee Briglia with Bob Boyett, The Council, Jean Doumanian Productions, Nicole Eisenberg, Jay Marcus & George Strus, Irony Point, Richard Batchelder/Bradley Reynolds, Tyler Mount/Tommy Doyle, Nelson & Tao, Palomares & Rosenberg, and ShowTown Productions.
