Look out, Brits. Mary Todd is bringing her bratty curls and madcap medleys across the pond to Merrie Olde England. Cole Escola's Broadway hit will transfer to Trafalgar Theatre in London's West End, with performances beginning December 3, with an opening of December 18. It will run until April 25, 2026. Tony winner Sam Pinkleton will again direct.

And starring as Mary Todd Lincoln will be Mason Alexander Park. Known best for their small screen performances in The Sandman, Quantum Leap, and Cowboy Bebop, Park is also an accomplished stage presence, having starred as The Emcee in Cabaret in London's West End, St. Jimmy in American Idiot for Deaf West Theatre in California, and the title role of Hedwig and the Angry Inch on a U.S. tour, amongst others.

The Oh, Mary! London cast will also include Kate O’Donnell (Big Girl’s Blouse) as Mary’s Chaperone, Oliver Stockley (Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club) as Mary’s Husband’s Assistant, Dino Fetscher (The Normal Heart) as Mary’s Teacher, and Giles Terera (Hamilton) as Mary’s Husband.

Oh, Mary! centers on Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. In Escola's demented take (or as press notes put it, "through the lens of an idiot"), Mary Todd becomes a madcap, cabaret-obsessed alcoholic.

The piece premiered at Off-Broadway's Lucille Lortel Theatre in 2024 in a run that was extended three times. It then opened on Broadway last summer, where it's been breaking box-office records at the Lyceum Theatre; it became the first show in the theatre’s 121-year history to gross more than $1,000,000 in a single week. The show earned two 2025 Tony Awards: Lead Actor in a Play for Escola, the play's original Mary; and Director of a Play for Pinkleton. Oh, Mary! continues its run on Broadway.

Loukas, and music arranger David Dabbon.
