“Oh, Mary!” alums James Scully and Phillip James Brannon are coming back for more. Scully made his Broadway debut in Cole Escola’s comedic romp, originating the role of Mary’s Teacher. Brannon succeeded original star Conrad Ricamora as Mary’s Husband opposite Betty Gilpin and Tituss Burgess. He also returned for a short run as the Abraham Lincoln to Jinkx Monsoon’s Mary Todd Lincoln.
Scully and Brannon slip back into their respective roles from September 30 through October 12, after current stars Michael Urie, Kumail Nanjiani and Monsoon take their final bows on September 28.
Original off-Broadway and Broadway company member Hannah Solow will step up to star in the show’s title role at the same time, preceding Jane Krakowski’s previously announced stint in the bratty curls.
Scully’s screen credits include “YOU” and “Fire Island.” Brannon appeared in Broadway’s “Junk” and off-Broadway in The Public Theater’s Shakespeare in the Park production of “Merry Wives.”
In addition to Monsoon, Nanjiani and Urie, Jenn Harris and Martin Landry round out the cast as Mary’s Chaperone and Mary’s Husband’s Assistant.
Written by Tony winner Escola and directed by Tony winner Sam Pinkleton, “Oh, Mary!” centers on the miserable Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. The play premiered off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in February 2024 before opening on Broadway in July 2024.
