One of Broadway’s freshest comedies is reinventing itself.
Starting Monday, Aug. 4, Cole Escola’s two-time Tony Award-winning and box-office record-breaking show “Oh, Mary!” will feature a mostly all-new cast. The players are “Rupaul’s Drag Race” season five winner Jinkx Monsoon stepping into the titular Mary Todd Lincoln role, “Shrinking” star and 2025 Emmy nominee Michael Urie (Mary’s Teacher), “The Big Sick’s” Kumail Nanjiani (Mary’s Husband, making his Broadway debut) and “American Fiction’s” Jenn Harris (Mary’s Chaperone, her first show on the Great White Way).
Actor Tony Macht, who originated the part of Mary’s Husband’s Assistant both on and off Broadway, will reprise his role through Sept. 28. There’s no word on who will succeed him yet.
If you want to see this brand-new ensemble in the raucous production about the lives of the Lincolns in the days leading up to the President’s assassination where the First Lady becomes a “madcap, cabaret-obsessed alcoholic,” tickets are available for all upcoming “Oh, Mary!” shows at New York City’s Lyceum Theatre.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find seats for any one Monsoon/Urie/Nanjiani/Harris production in August and September was $117 including fees on Vivid Seats.
Other shows in those two months start anywhere from $119 to $251 including fees.
In the event you want to see original stars Conrad Ricamora, James Scully and Bianca Leigh (and Escola’s Mary Todd replacement Tituss Burgess), they’ll take their last bows on Saturday, Aug. 2.
$128 including fees is the cheapest seat we could find for any one of their performances.
“…the Great White Way has not witnessed a comedy this funny, or a comedic star turn this dazzling, in at least a decade,” The Post’s theater critic Johnny Oleksinski raved in his glowing four-star review of the 80-minute comedy.
“I recommend wearing a loose-fitting shirt, should your howls pop a button,” he added.

Jinkx Monsoon Christmas tour
This November and December, Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme are embarking on their 32-show ‘Jinkx and Dela Holiday Tour.’
Want to see them live?
The pair will be at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre on Thursday, Dec. 4.
“Oh, Mary!” new cast members
The show’s greenest thespians are all fairly big names in their own right. Outside their biggest credits listed above, here’s a bit more about each of them.
Jinkx Monsoon might look familiar to “Project Runway” fans. The Season Five winner is a favorite among the show’s diehards. However, she’s also known for her annual aforementioned Christmas tour with BenDeLaCreme and guest spots on “Krapopolis” and “Doctor Who.”
Michael Urie recently jumped a stardom level. The Emmy-nominated “Shrinking” star also recently starred in “Once Upon A Mattress” and “Spamalot” on Broadway, making him a fixture on the Great White Way. Other notable roles of his include “Ugly Betty,” “Goodrich” and “Younger.”
Kumail Nanjiani has been onstage before. The leading man — who fronted “The Big Sick,” “Stuber,” “The Lovebirds” and the miniseries “Welcome To Chippendales” among others — got his start as a stand-up. You may also recognize him from “Silicon Valley” or “Portlandia.”
Jenn Harris is making her Broadway debut. However, she is a seasoned actress who has appeared in HBO’s “High Maintenance,” NBC’s “30 Rock” and the TV series “New York Is Dead.” Most recently, she popped up in “Elsbeth.”
Star-studded shows on Broadway
For those hoping to see big names at the theater IRL, this just might be your year.
Here are five very funny productions currently on the Great White Way.
• “Waiting for Godot” with Keanu Reeves
• “Hamilton” with Leslie Odom Jr.
• “Art” with Neal Patrick Harris
• “Maybe Happy Ending” with Darren Criss
• “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” with Tom Felton
