Her name is Hannah — and she’s Mary.
Since Sept. 30, Hannah Solow has been starring as Mary Todd Lincoln in “Oh, Mary!,” the wildly unhinged smash comedy by Cole Escola, which continues to draw sold-out crowds to Broadway’s Lyceum Theatre. Solow, who has been with the production since its 2024 Off-Broadway premiere as Escola’s standby, is appearing in the title role for a limited engagement through October 12.
Since opening on Broadway in July 2024, the role of Mary Todd Lincoln has been passed from creator Cole Escola, to Betty Gilpin, Tituss Burgess, Jinkx Monsoon, and now Solow. Solow’s two-week engagement precedes the arrival of Jane Krakowski, who takes over beginning October 14 for an eight-week run through December 7, joined by Cheyenne Jackson as “Mary’s Teacher.”
