Meet Mary Todd Lincoln like you’ve never seen her before.
Starring the hilarious Catherine Tate, Oh, Mary! is the Tony Award-winning Broadway phenomenon that has arrived in London to five-star reviews. After opening in December 2025 and extending its run twice due to huge demand, this wildly irreverent comedy is now playing at Trafalgar Theatre until July.
Set in the chaotic weeks before Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, Oh, Mary! turns the spotlight on the miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln and the forgotten dreams, desires, and frustrations behind one of history’s most recognised figures.
Through Cole Escola’s brilliantly unexpected lens, this uproariously dark comedy explores unrequited yearning, alcoholism, suppressed desires, and the chaos surrounding a woman searching for recognition.
Packed with razor-sharp one-liners, outrageous moments, and the brattiest wig in the West End, this 80-minute one-act play is gloriously dark, wildly unpredictable, and unlike anything else on stage.
Oh, Mary! won two Tony Awards at the 2025 ceremony, including Best Leading Actor in a Play and Best Direction of a Play. The production’s wider theatrical acclaim is further highlighted by Mason Alexander Park, who was nominated for Best Takeover Performance at the 2024 WhatsOnStage Awards for their performance as the Emcee in Cabaret.
Come for Catherine Tate. Stay for the chaos. Leave with a comedy experience you’ll be talking about long after the curtain falls.
Book your official tickets and get ready for a night of gloriously dark, unforgettable theatre.
