This is such great news! I just saw Oh, Mary on Broadway, with Hannah Solow! It was such a fun play, and definitely one of my new favorites! It is only one act, so it is short and sweet! It challenges rigid historical views in such a funny way. Mary Todd Lincoln is depicted as a hilariously narcissistic and alcoholic cabaret singer. The main plot point is the love triangle. John Wilkes Booth is gay and likes Abraham Lincoln. Mary Todd Lincoln likes John Wilkes Booth. The major plot twist is when she finds out that Booth wants to take Abraham from her, she kills her husband so that can not happen. To end it all off, Mary has, what felt like a ten minute, cabaret solo! I think that it is so great that this play will be traveling across America, and it will come to many different audiences! I am also really excited that Maya Rudolph was just named to be a future Mary on Broadway! It is such a fun role that the actors really bring themselves into. I have a feeling that every Mary has been slightly different, which would make it awesome to rewatch!
