Oh, Catherine!
Tony Award winner Cole Escola’s smash hit Broadway comedy Oh, Mary! has extended its run in the West End and revealed further casting.
WhatsOnStage Award nominee Mason Alexander Park currently leads the cast as Mary Todd Lincoln in Escola’s riotous crowd-pleaser, hailed as “80 minutes of perfectly judged silliness” by WhatsOnStage’s Sarah Crompton in her glowing review. They will play their final performance on 25 April.
Catherine Tate will take over the role in the show from 27 April, and the production is now booking until 18 July 2026.
Also departing the cast is Giles Terera, who plays Mary’s Husband until 14 March. From 16 March, the role will be played by Scott Karim.
The West End premiere cast also currently features Dino Fetscher as Mary’s Teacher, Kate O’Donnell as Mary’s Chaperone, and Oliver Stockley as Mary’s Husband’s Assistant.
Directed by Tony Award winner Sam Pinkleton, Oh, Mary! first opened to great acclaim on Broadway in 2024.
A historically dubious wartime comedy, the piece revolves around bored alcoholic housewife Mary Todd Lincoln, who pines for the cabaret stage but is constantly undermined by her closeted, homosexual husband, who also just happens to be the President of the United States.
