A dark comedy about Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, OH, MARY! explores unrequited yearning, alcoholism and suppressed desires through Escola’s absurdist lens.

It premiered off-Broadway in 2024 before transferring to Broadway’s Lyceum Theatre, where it broke box office records and continues to play to sold-out houses.
