Review: OH, MARY! at Paramount Theatre
by Jay Irwin - Nov 4, 2026
Dear Readers, I must warn you that I’ll be using some coarse and crude language in a bit. Not trying to shock or offend but it’s the actor’s name I’ll be referencing from the current production of “Oh, Mary!” playing at the Paramount. But then, if you’re interested in “Oh, Mary!” then you had better be ready for the coarse and crude and more. But you should also be ready for one of the cleverest and funniest shows to come around in years.
