'Oh, Mary!' Delivers Wild West Wing Comedy in Raucous Romp Through History
"Oh, Mary!" is a riotous new comedy at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, written by and starring Cole Escola, that humorously portrays Mary Todd Lincoln as a raging alcoholic who dreams of becoming a cabaret star. The play is filled with raunchiness, killer punchlines, and historical inaccuracy, offering a wild and irreverent take on the Civil War-era first lady. Despite its absurdity, the show also features unexpected twists and a taut storyline, making it a promising hit in off-Broadway entertainment.
