Cole Escola, Conrad Ricamora, James Scully to return to 'Oh, Mary!' on Broadway
Beginning April 8, all five original cast members of Escola's award-winning historical comedy play will reunite on stage at the Lyceum Theatre.
Oh, Mary! on Broadway has announced that original stars Cole Escola, Conrad Ricamora, and James Scully will return to the cast this spring, beginning performances April 8 at the Lyceum Theatre.
The actors will return to the roles of Mary Todd Lincoln, Mary's Husband, and Mary's Teacher, respectively. The entire original cast of Oh, Mary! will be reunited, as they join current cast members Bianca Leigh as Mary's Chaperone and Tony Macht as Mary's Husband's Assistant.
All five actors first performed Oh, Mary! off Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in spring 2024 and transferred with the show to Broadway later that year. The play received critical acclaim both times, and Escola, who also wrote Oh, Mary!, has received Obie, Drama Desk, Theatre World, and Outer Critics Circle Awards for their work.
Oh, Mary! is a comedic account of Mary Todd Lincoln's life in the weeks before her husband's assassination. In this version, she's a miserable, hard-drinking person whose greatest ambition is to become a cabaret star.
GLOW star Betty Gilpin currently plays Mary through March 16, and Tituss Burgess steps into the role from March 18 to April 6. Phillip James Brannon plays Mary’s Husband and Chris Renfro plays Mary’s Teacher through April 6.
