Award-Winning Play ‘Oh, Mary!’ Coming To HBO Max In 2027

The Tony Award and Olivier Award-winning play Oh, Mary! is coming to HBO Max in 2027.

Starring and written by Tony Award winner Cole Escola, the dark comedy follows a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination.

Unrequited yearning, alcoholism, and suppressed desires abound in the 80-minute, one-act play that finally examines the “forgotten life and dreams” of Mrs. Lincoln. My rave review of the original Broadway production here.

The live special is the filmed version of the July 28, 2026 performance that took place at the Trafalgar Theatre in London’s West End.

In addition to Escola as “Mary Todd Lincoln,” the cast of the live-capture includes Olivier Award winner Giles Terera as “Mary’s Husband,” Bianca Leigh as “Mary’s Chaperone,” Tony Macht as “Mary’s Husband’s Assistant,” and Emmy nominee Michael Urie (Ugly Betty) as “Mary’s Teacher.”

The original production opened off-Broadway in January 2024 before transferring to Broadway’s Lyceum Theatre in July 2024, where it became the first show in the theater’s 121-year history to gross over $1 million in a single week. Oh, Mary! has since broken its own box office record fifteen times.

The play premiered on the West End in December 2025 and will launch a North American tour this month.
