Award-winning actress and writer Catherine Tate is set to take the throne as Mary Todd Lincoln in the Tony® Award-winning comedy OH, MARY! - buy tickets below. The smash-hit production, which has captivated audiences with its irreverent humor, will see Tate lead the cast at London’s Trafalgar Theatre from 27 April through 18 July 2026. Due to the high demand surrounding this new casting, the show's booking period has also been extended until the end of Tate's run.
Tate joins a production that reimagines the historical figure through a chaotic and hilariously dark lens. OH, MARY! explores the life of a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the final weeks leading up to her husband's assassination. The 80-minute one-act play, written by Cole Escola, dives into Mrs. Lincoln’s suppressed desires and unrequited yearnings, all presented with the signature wit of a "dark comedy."
Further bolstering the new lineup is Scott Karim, who is scheduled to take over the role of Mary’s Husband starting Monday 16 March. Together, the new cast will continue to examine the forgotten dreams of the First Lady through a perspective Escola famously describes as "the lens of an idiot."
For fans of the current production, this announcement marks the final countdown for the show's original London star. Mason Alexander Park’s celebrated tenure in the title role is drawing to a close, with their final performance scheduled for Saturday 25 April.
Tickets for Catherine Tate’s highly anticipated debut are now available for purchase. Theatregoers are encouraged to book early for this limited engagement at the Trafalgar Theatre to witness one of the UK’s most versatile performers take on this legendary, albeit heavily fictionalized, American icon.
