The Telegraph
"The funniest performance in the West End."
The funniest, filthiest, most outrageous comedy on either side of the Atlantic has stormed into the West End. Cole Escola’s Tony Award-winning sensation Oh, Mary! takes the Trafalgar Theatre by storm - a gleefully unhinged reimagining of Mary Todd Lincoln as a miserable, suffocated, alcoholic wife who is absolutely desperate to become a cabaret star.
Set in a wildly heightened version of 1865 Washington in the weeks before Abraham Lincoln’s date at the theatre, the play follows Mary as she spirals through unrequited yearning, suppressed desires, heroic drinking and unstoppable theatrical ambition. It is a darkly hilarious, unapologetically camp 80-minute riot that has become a genuine comedy phenomenon.
The title role is shared by a glittering rota of stars across the run - Catherine Tate, writer and original Broadway sensation Cole Escola, and Jinkx Monsoon - supported by Scott Karim, Kate O’Donnell, Dino Fetscher and Oliver Stockley, and directed by Sam Pinkleton. Quite simply, there is nothing else like it in the West End. Book your tickets now.
