Unbeatable Prices for 'Oh, Mary' at Lyceum Theater

Despite the historical misfortunes of Abraham Lincoln at the theater, a new Broadway production centered on his wife, "Oh, Mary," is thriving. Originally set to close on September 15, the show will now run until November 10, reflecting its popularity. The production humorously reimagines Mary Todd Lincoln, portrayed by Cole Escola in drag, as a disenchanted housewife and aspiring cabaret star, whose ambitions are hindered by her husband's absence. The show has garnered rave reviews, particularly from New York Post theater critic Johnny Oleksinski, who praised Escola's performance as "the funniest show on Broadway." He noted that the production has not only delivered a comedic experience unmatched in the past decade but also showcased Escola's dazzling comedic talent. Ticket prices for the show have been reported as low as $77, although they are subject to change. The Lyceum Theater will host "Oh, Mary" until its extended closing date, with matinee performances scheduled for Thursdays and Saturdays at 5 p.m. This unique timing deviates from the traditional matinee hours, allowing for a fresh experience for theatergoers. Cole Escola, known for his roles in various popular series such as Hulu's "Difficult People" and Amazon's "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," leads the cast. As audiences seek laughter on Broadway, "Oh, Mary" stands out as a must-see comedy in the 2024 theater season.
