Oh, Mary!
Cole Escola’s gleefully irreverent comedy—a hilariously anachronistic historical burlesque about Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to her husband’s assassination—is the funniest play in years. The touring production hits Downtown L.A.’s Ahmanson Theatre this fall, with Alaska Thunderfuck in the title role. Check out our full five-star review of its Broadway run.
Tickets for the run can be pretty pricey, but you can try your luck at same-day rush tickets for $49 or $79; they’re available online each morning at 9am (use code MARYRUSH) or at the box office one hour before curtain.
