TONY AWARD-WINNING HIT COMEDY
OH, MARY!
EXTENDS THROUGH JANUARY 2026
JINKX MONSOON
TO PLAY ‘MARY TODD LINCOLN’
FOR EIGHT WEEKS ONLY
BEGINNING AUGUST 4
New York, NY (June 18, 2025) — Producers Kevin McCollum & Lucas McMahon and Mike Lavoie & Carlee Briglia announced today that Oh, Mary!, the hit comedy that won two Tony Awards earlier this month, will extend again, with performances now on-sale through January 4, 2026. Award-winning Actress, Recording Artist, and Drag Queen Jinkx Monsoon (“RuPaul’s Drag Race,” “Doctor Who,” Little Shop of Horrors, Chicago) will take over the title role of ‘Mary Todd Lincoln’ beginning Monday, August 4, and play a limited eight-week engagement through Saturday, September 27. Monsoon currently stars in Pirates! The Penzance Musical through its final performance on July 27, 2025.
"Now — I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Cole Escola is the funniest person alive,” said Monsoon. “Oh, Mary! is one of the best, funniest, most energizing things I’ve seen in my life. To be invited to live in this playground for a time is not only an honor and a privilege, but a lovely chance to showcase the writing talents of one friend, the directorial talents of another, and everything else that comes with this singular production. Happy to trade in one pair of bloomers for another.”
As previously announced, playwright and original star Cole Escola, who won a Tony Award for their portrayal of ‘Mary Todd Lincoln,’ will play their final performance on June 21 and six-time Emmy-Nominee Tituss Burgess (“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”) will return to the role of ‘Mary Todd Lincoln’ for an encore 6-week engagement beginning Monday, June 23, through Saturday, August 2, 2025. Burgess initially played the role March 18 through April 6, following three-time Emmy-Nominee Betty Gilpin.
Additionally, it was announced today that original cast members Conrad Ricamora, James Scully, Bianca Leigh and Tony Macht will remain with the show through August 2, 2025.
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.
JINKX MONSOON (Hera Lilith Hoffer) is an award-winning actress, comedian, recording artist, and the first and only drag queen to win “RuPaul’s Drag Race” twice. In just two years, she has become a Broadway breakout star and box office draw with critically-acclaimed performances including Matron "Mama" Morton in Chicago (where she broke box office records during an extended 10-week run), Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors Off-Broadway opposite Corbin Bleu, and most recently, Ruth in the Tony-nominated revival, Pirates! The Penzance Musical, which landed Jinkx her first Drama League Award nomination. Variety hailed her performance as a "triumph" adding, "Broadway should be honored to have her gracing the boards, as she is sure to be canonized as one of the all-time comedy greats.”
In addition to Broadway, Jinkx blew audiences away last year with her masterful and frightening performance as Maestro on the beloved British sci-fi series “Doctor Who” (BBC / Disney+). She has toured the world performing original cabaret shows with music partner Major Scales, including the hit Off-Broadway sensation The Vaudevillians, as well as six international tours of the wildly successful The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show with longtime collaborator and “RuPaul's Drag Race"alum BenDeLaCreme. In 2023, she embarked on her first major concert tour with a live band titled "Jinkx Monsoon: Everything at Stake" which performed in sold-out theaters across 44 cities, and in 2025 she headlined her first Carnegie Hall concert which also sold out.
Additional accolades include the Gregory Award for her portrayal of Hedwig in Hedwig and the Angry Inch and The MAC Award for original show The Ginger Snapped. As a recording artist, Jinkx has released three critically-hailed albums of original music written by Major Scales including The Virgo Odyssey, The Inevitable Album and The Ginger Snapped. As a voice actor, Jinkx has voiced characters for animated shows such as "Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake" (playing the iconic character Lemongrab), "Steven Universe" (playing Emerald), "Helluva Boss," "Mighty Magiswords," "Bravest Warriors," and more. Jinkx first garnered an international fan base following her win on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 5 (2013), and continued her winning streak on “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” 7 (2022) where she was crowned “Queen of All Queens,” winning the competition against all previous winners.
