Cole Escola's Oh, Mary! Hits Broadway Stage

'Oh, Mary!' has made a triumphant debut on Broadway after a successful off-Broadway run, receiving rave reviews for its absurd and darkly comedic take on Mary Todd Lincoln's life during the Civil War. Created and starred by Cole Escola, the play portrays Mary as a narcissistic, booze-addicted figure, with Escola's performance drawing significant acclaim for its humor and audacity. The 80-minute show features a stellar cast, including Conrad Ricamora as Abraham Lincoln, and highlights Mary's ridiculous antics, including chugging paint thinner and performing cabaret. The opening night saw a host of celebrities, including Maude Apatow and Patti LuPone, attending the event. The play, praised for its originality and boldness, is expected to continue captivating audiences until September 15 at the Lyceum Theatre.
