Last week, Cole Escola’s runaway Off-Broadway hit comedy Oh, Mary! opened on Broadway for a limited summer engagement through September 15 at the historic Lyceum Theatre. Judging from all the buzz surrounding the transfer, the howlingly hilarious historical send-up about First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln — played brilliantly by Escola — has arrived on the Great White Way with the tidal force of a bona fide blockbuster. Read here for my review of the downtown run at the Lucille Lortel Theatre earlier this year. Yes, believe the hype.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
