The New Cast Joins Jinkx Monsoon In Cole Escola’s Broadway Play
From August 4, Cole Escola's Broadway play will be getting a whole new cast.

Urie is a regular on Broadway, having recently performed in Spamalot and Once Upon a Mattress. For Nanjiani and Harris, Oh Mary will be the pair's Broadway debut.

What Is The Plot?
In early 1865, Abraham Lincoln was swiftly and unknowingly approaching the end of his life. During this time, we see Mary, his "foul and hateful wife" stifled and unhappy, dealing with a life that wasn't what she intended as she works her way through her lifelong desires and unfulfilled dreams. In this raucous five-star comedic tour-de-force, we see Mary launch herself into the world of theatre with aplomb, leading to a fantastically ridiculous finale as silly as Lincoln himself was serious!
