Broadway Smash ‘Oh, Mary!’ Extends Run For Second Time

Cole Escola’s hit Broadway comedy Oh, Mary! is extending its record-breaking run at the Lyceum Theatre by two months, and will now play through January 19, 2025.

The first show in the 121-year history of the Lyceum to gross more than $1 million in a single week, the critically acclaimed Oh, Mary! has surpassed its own house records for four consecutive weeks. The play’s highest weekly gross to date was $1,105,634.50 for the week ending September 8.

Following a twice-extended Off Broadway run at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, Oh, Mary! opened on Broadway July 11 and was initially scheduled to run through September 15. The first of its two extensions pushed the closing date to November 10.

Directed by Sam Pinkleton, Oh, Mary! stars Escola (in their Broadway debut) as a miserable, suffocated and heavy-drinking Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. The production also features Conrad Ricamora as Mary’s Husband, James Scully as Mary’s Teacher, Bianca Leigh as Mary’s Chaperone, and Tony Macht as Mary’s Husband’s Assistant.

In addition to the extraordinary weekly box office tallies, Oh, Mary! is a hot ticket among high-profile theatergoers, with recent attendees including Anna Wintour, Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Aniston, Austin Butler, Kerry Washington, Patti LuPone, Robert Downey Jr., Zoë Kravitz, Madonna and more.

Oh, Mary! is produced on Broadway by Kevin McCollum & Lucas McMahon and Mike Lavoie & Carlee Briglia with Bob Boyett, The Council, Jean Doumanian Productions, Nicole Eisenberg, Jay Marcus & George Strus, Irony Point, Richard Batchelder/Bradley Reynolds, Tyler Mount/Tommy Doyle, Nelson & Tao, Palomares & Rosenberg, and ShowTown Productions.
