Mrs President

What is Mrs President about?

Mary Lincoln is a woman under siege – with her grief, her detractors, and herself. In the shadow of her late husband, President Abraham Lincoln, she battles a world eager to define her and a conscience that will not rest. Accused of treason and shunned by society, she turns to Mathew Brady, the world's first celebrity photographer, to help her reclaim her story.

But as the lens turns between them, the power shifts, and their collaboration spirals into a fierce struggle for authorship, truth, and control. Book Mrs President tickets at Charing Cross Theatre!

Why book Mrs President tickets?

Broadway star Keala Settle (The Greatest Showman, Waitress, Sister Act) takes on a rare non-singing dramatic role that showcases her extraordinary depth and power. Hal Fowler (Les Misérables, Aspects of Love) plays Mathew Brady, the forefather of photojournalism. This fully transformed production follows its original 2025 staging with deep dramaturgical development.

This is not a remount but a reinvention – richer in scope, sharper in focus, and more hauntingly human.

Is Mrs President similar to other shows?

Mrs President runs alongside Cole Escola's Tony-winning comedy Oh, Mary! at Trafalgar Theatre – two very different takes on Mary Todd Lincoln.
