"Unveiling Mary Todd Lincoln's Cabaret Ambitions: A Cole Escola Perspective"
"Oh, Mary!" is a comedy about Mary Todd Lincoln, portrayed as a bubbleheaded alcoholic, written and starred by Cole Escola. The show presents irreverent and campy scenes, including a disastrous audition for a play and a puke-drinking scene, which has led to walkouts. Escola, who is nonbinary, admits to minimal research on Mary Todd Lincoln, aiming to cater to an audience with a basic understanding of the historical figure.
