Hold onto your hoop skirts, because “Oh, Mary!” is kicking and screaming its way across the pond. Tony winner Cole Escola’s runaway hit play will open at London’s Trafalgar Theatre on December 3. Directed by Tony winner Sam Pinkleton and written by Escola, the West End premiere will star Mason Alexander Park as Mary Todd Lincoln, alongside Kate O’Donnell as Mary’s Chaperone, Oliver Stockley as Mary’s Husband’s Assistant, Dino Fetscher as Mary’s Teacher and Giles Terera as Mary’s Husband. Park is a nonbinary performer and writer whose previous West End credits include Margaret in Jamie Lloyd’s production of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” and Ariel in Jamie Lloyd’s production of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” both at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, and The Emcee in “Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club.” Terera is best known for originating the role of Aaron Burr in the West End production of “Hamilton,” for which he won an Olivier Award.
