Oh, Mary!

Duration

1 hr 20 mins

Age Limit

Suitable for 14+ yrs

A hilariously unhinged take on Mary Todd Lincoln, Tony-winning and West End bound Oh, Mary! skewers history through a dark, campy lens.

A bold, twisted comedy that reimagines Mary Todd Lincoln as a cabaret-obsessed, self-destructive diva in the days before her husband Abraham Lincoln's assassination.

The original Broadway smash won Tonys for Best Actor (Cole Escola) and Best Direction (Sam Pinkleton), and broke box-office records.

Starring Georgie Lagden as Mary, with acclaimed direction by Sam Pinkleton, this irreverent revival promises a fresh, haunting edge.

Themes of loss, yearning, addiction, and identity collide in razor-sharp satire, expect campy staging, sharp wit, and theatrical jolts. Book your Oh, Mary! London tickets now!

The story

In the bleak days before April 1865, Mary Todd Lincoln, bereft, ignored, haunted by defeat, is unraveling. Trapped in a marriage with a closeted president, she oscillates between sipping spirits and plotting cabaret stardom as her inner pain and resentment bubble over. Through the lens of absurdity and scathing humor, Oh, Mary! reveals a woman scorned and forgotten, until she claws back her story. What lengths will she go to reclaim her voice?

I've just come from Spain to watch Catherine Tate and she has exceeded all my expectations. She is an incredible actress and performer. Amazing play; with very informed actors and a very clever script. Irreverently funny! Thank you to all the crew for such a fantastic work. I will always remember it! Congrats and Bravo!

I had seats in the upper circle and because of the theater's layout, it felt like I was right on top of the action. Great views and the performances were stunning. This was a top to bottom wonderful production and I will treasure it! It's also centrally located so grabbing a bite to eat and the tube home afterward was a piece of cake. Would love to go back!

The theatre is lovely. You feel like you are so close to the actors. The attendants were very helpful. Katherine Tate was extremely funny, and had a wonderful voice. The play was well written. I am so glad that we got a chance to see the show with this group of actors.

Very different to what I expected and 30 minutes in I was wondering what the hell was happening and then I got it A Whitehall farce and a romp through. Catherine Tate showed her colours and I loved it By the end .... great support by the company

1st time with original cast and all the shock value in nyc. However still filled with revisionist history and over the top performances. Worth it again especially during gay pride. Swam well across the river.
