Jane Krakowski to lead Oh, Mary! on Broadway starting Oct 14, 2025

Jane Krakowski will take over the lead role in the Broadway comedy Oh, Mary! at the Lyceum Theatre on October 14, 2025, for an eight week engagement running through December 7, producers said. Krakowski will succeed Jinkx Monsoon, who is scheduled to play her final performance on September 28, and follows understudy Hannah Solow, who will cover the part from September 30 through October 12.

Oh, Mary!, written and originally performed by Cole Escola, reimagines Mary Todd Lincoln as a cabaret obsessed, hard drinking socialite in the days leading up to President Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Escola originated the role off Broadway and won a Tony Award for the part after the show transferred to Broadway. Since opening at the Lyceum on July 11, 2024, the production has been a commercial and critical sensation, breaking its own box office record a dozen times, becoming the first show of the 2024-25 Broadway season to recoup its investment, and extending performances with tickets on sale through July 5, 2026.

Krakowski, a Tony Award winner for her performance as Carla in the revival of Nine and a Tony nominee for her 2016 return in She Loves Me, praised Escola and the creative team...
