Betty Gilpin will star Oh, Mary! on Broadway this winter.

Gilpin, an Emmy nominee for her role in Netflix Glowtakes on the role of Mary Todd Lincoln from Cole Escola starting January 21st for an eight-week run until March 16th. The play has also released a new ticket allocation that extends the Broadway run until at least June 28, 2025.

Escola wrote the play and has starred in the show since its off-Broadway run, which began in January 2024. The play, directed by Sam Pinkleton, portrays Mary Todd Lincoln as a petulant would-be cabaret star who dreams of escaping her husband from the White House. Since opening on Broadway in July 2024, the show has sold out and broken the Lyceum Theater box office record ten times.

In addition to her role as Debbie Eagan/Liberty Belle in Glow, Gilpin starred opposite Shailene Woodley in the Starz limited series Three women and starred in the Peacock series Ms. Davis. She also appeared Off Broadway in The Atlantic Theater Company’s 2015 production I will pray so hard for youSignature Theaters production from 2012 Heartless and more. This will be Gilpin’s Broadway debut.

“I have worshiped at the altar of Cole for years, but I see her billion dollar brilliance in Oh, Mary! “was a new level of crazy genius that I didn’t know was scientifically possible,” Gilpin said. “It is my great honor to step in so Cole can return to his neglected passions: fracking and skin care. Working with the perfect Sam Pinkleton to play Mary will be one of the greatest joys of my life, and I will say that to both of my daughters’ faces.”

Escola added: “I couldn’t be more excited to see what Betty Gilpin does with the role of Mary. She is a brilliant comedic actress who understands the heart of this character and the seriousness of being a fool. I promise you won’t want to miss Betty as Mary.”

In addition to Escola, the production currently stars Conrad Ricamora as Mary’s husband, James Scully as Mary’s teacher, Bianca Leigh as Mary’s chaperone, and Tony Macht as Mary’s husband’s assistant.
