The energy from the cast and band was contagious! What a fun way to tell a fateful story, and I loved the girl power message. The music was excellent and really filled the small theater. I had a blast and would see it a million more times.

Unbelievable. I was afraid I’d be disappointed because I’d watched and listened to the original cast so much, but all the actors performed the songs in their own way, which allowed me to enjoy the show without comparing it to the original!

“Oh, Mary!” is the sort of theatrical chaos the British do best—sharp, cheeky, and gloriously self-aware. The atmosphere was buzzing from the outset, with the audience hanging onto every line as if in on a particularly clever inside joke. The writing is delightfully irreverent, peppered with wit that lands effortlessly, while the performances are delivered with impeccable timing and just the right amount of theatrical flair. What makes it truly memorable is how it balances absurd humour with a surprising touch of depth. The lead, in particular, commands the stage with a marvellous mix of mischief and vulnerability, making even the most outrageous moments feel oddly sincere. It’s bold, brilliantly executed, and leaves you grinning long after the curtain falls.

Oh, Mary!

The whole production of Oh, Mary! was perfect from start to finish. That said, Mason Alexander Park was brilliant, flawless-- a master at their craft!
