What they’re saying

“Ever since I was a little girl, I have dreamed of being Cole Escola. 'Oh, Mary!' is the funniest play I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of plays, you'd be surprised. It's such an honor to play the role of Mary, especially after so many iconic Marys have come before me. So making my Broadway debut in the role of a lifetime—as a miserable, suffocated, alcoholic woman—is a real dream come true.”

— Maya Rudolph (New York Post)

“What elevates 'Oh, Mary!' from a hilarious and raunchy skit to an unexpectedly juicy yarn, though, is Escola's oddly suspenseful plot. Multiple revelations get shocked gasps in this laugh-riot about that ol' boozehound Mary Todd Lincoln.”

— Johnny Oleksinski, New York Post theater critic (New York Post)

What’s next

The judge in the case will decide on Tuesday whether or not to allow Walker Reed Quinn out on bail.
