FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Oh, Mary!
A great cast salvages this bafflingly overhyped ’70s-style Broadway comedy
6 / 10
Two great leads, a handful of good lines, some top notch physical business and the epically random deployment of Belle and Sebastian’s classic 1996 song ‘Get Me Away from Here, I’m Dying’ – these are all good things. Existing at the point in the curve where subversive New York cabaret and naff ‘70s British comedy overlap, there’s clearly an audience over here for Oh, Mary! But that’s not the same thing as living up to the hype.
US history lewdly revised as American Pie-grade comedy
4 / 10
And how meaningful can any of it be if the writer, by their admission, has undertaken “no research” into Mary Todd Lincoln’s life story? Satire and black comedy as genres are built to accommodate social observation and acid critique, but there is none of that here. You learn next to nothing of how Mary may have been held back or shaped by history in this apparently “revisionist” version. Instead, you get the dramas of the men around her, from Abraham’s hidden homosexuality to his ex-lover (Dino Fetscher) and current squeeze (Oliver Stockley). Mary is simply repulsive and every other character laughs at her behind her back.

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.
