Director Sam Pinkleton stated:
"Welcoming John into this cast feels both delicious and somehow inevitable," "So many of us in the Oh, Mary! universe, myself very much included, wouldn't be where we are without John's work, which reshaped what live performance could look and feel like for generations of tender weirdos. He's a queer trailblazer, cultural icon, brilliant actorand, most importantly for his new role, a giant idiot."
What Is The Story?
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!
