Four more years! Well, almost. Oh, Mary!’s latest administration—Jane Krakowski as Mary Todd, Cheyenne Jackson as Mary’s Teacher, and John-Andrew Morrison as Mary’s Husband—have been voted into a second term, extending their limited runs in the Cole Escola comedy through January 4, 2026, at the Lyceum Theatre. All three joined the play October 14, and had been scheduled to perform through December 7.
Continuing cast members include Jenn Harris as Mary’s Chaperone and Martin Landry as Mary’s Husband’s Assistant. Original cast member Tony Macht will re-join as Mary’s Husband’s Assistant beginning November 18.
Krakowski succeeded understudy Hannah Solow, who played a two-week limited engagement following the departure of Jinkx Monsoon. Jackson succeeded James Scully and Morrison succeeded Phillip James Brannon.

Cole Escola’s comedy Oh, Mary! centers on Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. In Escola’s demented take (or as press notes put it, “through the lens of an idiot”), Mary Todd becomes a madcap, cabaret-obsessed alcoholic.
The piece premiered at Off-Broadway’s Lucille Lortel Theatre in 2024 in a run that was extended three times. It then opened on Broadway last summer, where it’s been breaking box-office records at the Lyceum Theatre; it became the first show in the theatre’s 121-year history to gross more than $1,000,000 in a single week.
The show earned two 2025 Tony Awards: Lead Actor in a Play for Escola (who departed the production in June) and Director of a Play for Sam Pinkleton.
The play’s understudies are Solow, Julian Manjerico, Sean Peter Forte, and Jackie Sanders.
