Mason Alexander Park News

Is The Jamie Lloyd Company teasing news about Much Ado About Nothing? The production, which previously opened in the West End with Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell might be transferring to Broadway!

The Music Center has announced 71 Southern California high school semifinalists for the SPOTLIGHT performing arts competition, showcasing young talent in various disciplines.

Seth Meyers has found Stephen Colbert's next project – but it's not playing the role you might think. Colbert discussed life after his show ends this May. Meyers suggested that he joins Oh, Mary! on Broadway as Mary Todd Lincoln.

In light of the news that Oh, Mary! will be launching a U.S. Tour in 2026, BroadwayWorld is looking back at all of the stars who have played the title role of Mary Todd Lincoln! 

Looking back over 2025, it appears I sat in a dark room and wrote barely legible thoughts into a notebook on about 150-odd occasions. By the grace of God and the BroadwayWorld UK editor, I saw a real smörgåsbord of delights, everything from highly anticipated West End theatre to opera, dance, circus, cabaret, comedy and immersive theatre.

Oh, Mary! is an uproariously dark comedy about a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Unrequited yearning, alcoholism, and suppressed desires abound in this 80-minute one-act play that finally examines the forgotten life and dreams of Mrs. Lincoln, through the lens of playwright Cole Escola. The production has now landed in the West End-but what did the critics think?

There has been much hype about Cole Escola's comedy play, Oh, Mary!, spoofing the lives of a former US President and his wife Mary in the days leading up to his assassination. Its Off-Broadway run was extended twice, moved to Broadway where it is still playing and now lands in the West End. So does it merit the buzz? Yes, and no.

Rise and shine, BroadwayWorld! It is December 15, 2025 and it's time to catch up on all of the theatrical happenings you may have missed over the weekend.
