Broadway Sensation ‘Oh Mary!’ Set to Land in Toronto Next Year

After wowing audiences on Broadway and captivating stars like Jennifer Aniston and Zoë Kravitz, the hit show ‘Oh Mary!’ is making its way to Toronto next year. This hilarious and campy play, written by Tony and Olivier Award winner Cole Escola, will hit the Royal Alexandra Theatre as part of the 2027-2028 Off-Mirvish season, beginning in fall 2027.

The show follows Mary Todd Lincoln in the days leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, portraying her as a self-absorbed wife desperate for fame. With a stellar cast that has included Jinkx Monsoon, Jane Krakowski, and James Cameron Mitchell, the role of Mary has seen many talented performers take the stage. Speculation is rife as the city prepares for the show's arrival, with fans eager to see who will step into the role next.

Since the show’s Broadway run began in 2024, it has broken records, becoming the first show in Lyceum Theatre’s 121-year history to gross more than $1,000,000 in a single week. It also broke its own box office record 14 times. No information has been shared yet on the cast for this North American tour, but there will surely be plenty of speculation in the months leading up to the run. There are entire Reddit threads dedicated to this discussion, after all.
