Jane Krakowski Replaces Jinkx Monsoon in Broadway's Oh Mary!

Jane Krakowski, a Tony, Olivier, and Critics' Choice Award-winning actress, will star as Mary Todd Lincoln in Cole Escola's hit Broadway comedy Oh, Mary! for a limited eight-week engagement from October 14 through December 7, 2025, at the Lyceum Theatre. She takes over the role from drag queen and recording artist Jinkx Monsoon, who will perform until September 28, with original company member Hannah Solow playing the role between Monsoon's departure and Krakowski's start. Directed by 2025 Tony Award winner Sam Pinkleton, Oh, Mary! opened in July 2024 and has broken multiple box office records, becoming the first show of the 2024-25 Broadway season to recoup its investment. Krakowski expressed her excitement about joining the cast, praising the comedic genius of the play and the previous actors who portrayed Mary, including Cole Escola, Betty Gilpin, and Tituss Burgess. This engagement marks Krakowski's Broadway return after her Tony-nominated 2016 performance in She Loves Me. The show has extended performances through July 5, 2026, reflecting its continued popularity.
