Jane Krakowski is returning to Broadway this fall as the next lead of the Tony-winning play Oh, Mary!
The Tony-winning actress will play Mary Todd Lincoln for a limited eight-week run and producers for the play have announced that the show will remain on Broadway through at least July 2026.
Jane will join the show on October 14 and play the title character through December 7.
“Thank you, Cole, for giving us this madcap work of genius, directed to perfection by Tony Award winner Sam Pinkleton,” Jane said in a statement.
She continued, “I am so honored to slip into the bratty curls previously worn by (my Tony Award winning zaddy) Cole Escola, (my sister wife) Betty Gilpin, (my comedy brother) Tituss Burgess, and (mother) Jinkx Monsoon. From the first time I watched Oh, Mary! downtown I thought, ‘how do I get myself on that stage in this role?’ After watching Cole take the NYC taxi ride uptown and now worshipping it four times more, I made it! Oh, Mary! is a comedic work of genius that ends up in my dream version of 7 minutes in heaven.”
Mary is currently being played by Jinkx Monsoon, who will depart the show on September 28. The role of Mary will be played by current understudy Hannah Solow from September 30 through October 12.
