Oh, Mary! London tickets
The Tony award-winning, Broadway phenomenon, Oh, Mary! transfers to the West End for a strictly limited run. Playing at Trafalgar Theatre, book your official tickets today.
About Oh, Mary!
Packed with razor-sharp one liners and the brattiest wig in the West End, Oh, Mary! follows the miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination.
Unrequited yearning, alcoholism, and suppressed desires abound, Oh, Mary! flips the script on traditional presidential history and places the First Lady firmly centre stage in a way that’s bold, camp, and utterly unforgettable.

What Is Oh, Mary! About?
Broadway’s smash-hit comedy Oh, Mary! is a dark, outrageous new play from writer-performer Cole Escola. Set in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, it transforms the First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln into a tragicomic figure riddled with heavy drinking, thwarted ambitions and a desperate yearning for the stage. This bold one-act piece doesn’t aim for historical accuracy – it gleefully tears up the rulebook to deliver 80 minutes of chaotic, laugh-out-loud theatre.
