Oh mother! We've finally got a good look at the West End bow of Cole Escola's Broadway hit Oh, Mary!, now in previews and headed for a December 18 opening night at Trafalgar Theatre. Take a look at the new production shots in the gallery below.
Mason Alexander Park is starring in the title role, with Sam Pinkleton reprising his Tony-winning Broadway direction. Performances are set to continue through April 25, 2026.
Park—known best for their small-screen performances in The Sandman, Quantum Leap, and Cowboy Bebop—is following up earlier stage performances 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, among others.
The cast also features 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.
