DESCRIPTION:Apr 28 - Jun 20\, 2026\nJust what the world was waiting for! An
  X-rated alternative-fact-based sitcom leading up to Abraham and Mary Todd
  Lincoln’s fatal night at Ford’s Theatre. Yet in the space of five mon
 ths\, Cole Escola’s 80-minute Oh\, Mary!  rated not one but two coveted 
 New York Times “Critic’s Pick” spots. “So stupid. So campy. So une
 xpected. And yes\, like Mrs. Lincoln\, even sensational.” So said a ravi
 ng Joshua Barone\, whose usual beat is classical music\, in February 2024\
 , when Escola’s magnum opus was packing them in Off Broadway. Six months
  later\, it transferred to Broadway like the Second Coming of Hamilton\, a
 nd the paper’s chief drama critic Jesse Green took his shot. “‘Stupi
 d\,’” Green wrote. “I think not.” Rather\, he opined\, Oh\, Mary! 
 is “one of the best crafted and most exactingly directed Broadway comedi
 es in years.” Yes\, it’s quite the cuckoo clockwork\, what with its Fi
 rst Lady heroine who craves the cabaret spotlight the way Audrey II craves
  fresh human blood in Little Shop of Horrors\, and her closeted husband wh
 o gives up sodomy as easily and often as W. C. Fields gave up drinking. A 
 vehicle custom-built to the playwright’s screwball talents as a comic an
 d artiste\, Oh\, Mary! promised to collapse under its own weightlessness w
 hen Escola decamped early in the new year. Yet Betty Gilpin and Tituss Bur
 gess excelled in the role\, and\, on April 28\, Maya Rudolph will take the
  lead.
