Playbill: There's nothing quite like your first Broadway show. From the excitement of picking out an outfit, to making dinner reservations beforehand, a first Broadway show is a milestone event in anyone's life. And hopefully, you will love the show so much that you'll come back for another Broadway show. We at Playbill want to make your first time at a Broadway show a success, so that is why we've put together this handy first-timer's guide for Cole Escola's hilarious play, Oh, Mary!—one of Broadway's most popular shows.

I am so desperate to see Oh Mary! on Broadway. I have heard the most insanely good things about the show but havn't made my way to New York City since its run began. I watch nearly every interview I can find of Cole Escola’s and find them to be absolutely hilarious. As a member of the queer community I love seeing queer people do queer theatre, especially comedies. I feel a lot of queer theatre tends to be dramas as it showcases the rougher sides of the queer experience. However, to see so much joy and to play is so cathartic. It is also wonderful to see non-binary actors represented on Broadway in such a successful show. It is rare to see a leading role made for a gender queer actor and I hope it will pave the way for the future of Broadway. I hope to make it to New York this fall and this is definitely on the watch list.
I had planned to see Oh Mary! on Broadway, and I was really excited about it. Unfortunately, I got sick the day before the show and missed my chance to go. I was especially disappointed because my mother had recommended it to me many times, and I was very curious to experience it for myself.
I enjoy watching shows that let me escape from the stress of daily life. Based on the reviews and articles I read, I was sure Oh Mary! would be a production I’d really enjoy. Even just reading about it made me feel the humor and imagine how much fun it would be to watch live. I know there are many other comedies I haven’t seen yet, but I still hope I’ll get the chance to experience the nonstop, 80 minutes of unique comedy that Oh Mary! promises someday.
