Jinkx Monsoon to make West End debut in OH, MARY!
It has been announced that Jinkx Monsoon will make her West End debut, reprising her critically acclaimed performance as Mary Todd Lincoln in OH, MARY!, a role she sold-out during her 8-week run on Broadway and subsequent encore engagement which was heralded as one of the Best Performances of 2025 in the New York Times.
Jinkx will play a strictly limited 6-week season at Trafalgar Theatre from 17 August - 26 September.
The Olivier and Tony Award-winning smash hit comedy OH, MARY! recently extended its West End run and is now booking until 2 January 2027.
Jinkx Monsoon (Hera Lilith Hoffer) can currently be seen as Judy Garland in Peter Quilter’s End of the Rainbow at Soho Theatre, Walthamstow.
OH, MARY! currently stars Catherine Tate as Mary Todd Lincoln, Kate O’Donnell as Mary’s Chaperone, Oliver Stockley as Mary’s Husband’s Assistant, with Dino Fetscher as Mary’s Teacher, and Scott Karim as Mary’s Husband.
Catherine Tate’s final performance as Mary Todd Lincoln will be 18 July. Cole Escola will then reprise their Tony Award-winning role as Mary Todd Lincoln for a strictly limited 4-week season from 20 July - 15 August. Casting for the role of Mary Todd Lincoln from 28 September onwards is to be announced.
OH, MARY! is a dark comedy about a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Unrequited yearning, alcoholism, and suppressed desires abound in this 80-minute one-act play that finally examines the forgotten life and dreams of Mrs. Lincoln, through the lens of an idiot (playwright Cole Escola).
