Cheyenne Jackson, Martin Landry, director Sam Pinkleton, Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift, Maya Rudolph as “Mary Todd Lincoln,” Bianca Leigh and Phillip James Brannon pose backstage at the hit comedy ‘Oh, Mary!’ on Broadway at the Lyceum Theatre on June 13, 2026 in New York City. Bruce Glikas/WireImage Oh, Mary! is a Tony Award-winning, comedic “one-act play that finally examines the forgotten life and dreams of Mrs. Lincoln, through the lens of an idiot (playwright Cole Escola),” the production’s official synopsis says. Rudolph currently portrays the “miserable, suffocated” first lady “in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Unrequited yearning, alcoholism, and suppressed desires abound in this 80-minute one-act play.” The play’s plot centers on Mary Todd’s unhappiness with her marriage to the then-U.S. president — a reimagining of the couple’s story that has President Lincoln closeted (though it’s a fictional story, some historians do believe he was queer), and Mary Todd drunk and dreaming of being a showgirl. “This play is about a woman with a dream that no one around her understands,” Escola told NPR . “A dream that the whole world is telling her is stupid and doesn’t make any sense.” At the 2025 Tony Awards, Escola — who not only wrote the book, but originated the lead role of Mary as its first performer — was named best leading actor in a play, while Oh, Mary! director Sam Pinkleton took home best direction of a play. Following Rudolph, Megan Stalter is slated to take over the role of Mary next, for a 10-week stint beginning July 6. Swift received her Songwriters Hall of Fame honor Thursday night (June 11) at a ceremony held at the Marriott Marquis Hotel. Sombr performed two Swift classics in tribute — “Cardigan
