What is Oh, Mary! about?

Oh, Mary! reimagines the final weeks of Mary Todd Lincoln's life in the White House through the deliriously absurd lens of playwright Cole Escola. In this wickedly funny alternative history at the Trafalgar Theatre, Mary is a frustrated former cabaret performer trapped in a miserable marriage, yearning to return to the stage while her husband Abraham busies himself with the American Civil War. Alcoholism, unrequited desires, and suppressed dreams collide in 80 minutes of relentless comedy.

Declared "one of the best comedies in years" by The New York Times and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Oh, Mary! tickets offer audiences the chance to experience the most acclaimed new comedy of the decade. Book now for this strictly limited West End engagement!

Why should I book Oh, Mary! tickets in London?

Oh, Mary! won two Tony Awards including Best Leading Actor in a Play for Cole Escola and Best Direction of a Play for Sam Pinkleton. The production broke box office records on Broadway, becoming the first show in the Lyceum Theatre's 121-year history to gross over $1 million in a single week. Oh, Mary! tickets London offer the UK premiere of this theatrical phenomenon.
