How much do tickets cost to see Michael Urie in ‘Oh, Mary!' on Broadway?
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. One of Broadway's freshest comedies is reinventing itself. Starting Monday, Aug. 4, Cole Escola's two-time Tony Award-winning and box-office record-breaking show 'Oh, Mary!' will feature a mostly all-new cast. The players are 'Rupaul's Drag Race' season five winner Jinkx Monsoon stepping into the titular Mary Todd Lincoln role, 'Shrinking' star and 2025 Emmy nominee Michael Urie (Mary's Teacher), 'The Big Sick's' Kumail Nanjiani (Mary's Husband, making his Broadway debut) and 'American Fiction's' Jenn Harris (Mary's Chaperone, her first show on the Great White Way). Actor Tony Macht, who originated the part of Mary's Husband's Assistant both on and off Broadway, will reprise his role through Sept. 28. There's no word on who will succeed him yet. Advertisement If you want to see this brand-new ensemble in the raucous production about the lives of the Lincolns in the days leading up to the President's assassination where the First Lady becomes a 'madcap, cabaret-obsessed alcoholic,' tickets are available for all upcoming 'Oh, Mary!' shows at New York City's Lyceum Theatre. At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find seats for any one Monsoon/Urie/Nanjiani/Harris production in August and September was $117 including fees on Vivid Seats. Other shows in those two months start anywhere from $119 to $251 including fees. In the event you want to see original stars Conrad Ricamora, James Scully and Bianca Leigh (and Escola's Mary Todd replacement Tituss Burgess), they'll take their last bows on Saturday, Aug. 2. Advertisement $128 including fees is the cheapest seat we could find for any one of their performances. '…the Great White Way has not witnessed a comedy this funny, or a comedic star turn this dazzling, in at least a decade,' The Post's theater critic Johnny Oleksinski raved in his glowing four-star review of the 80-minute comedy. 'I recommend wearing a loose-fitting shirt, should your howls pop a button,' he added.

Kumail Nanjiani, Michael Urie and Jenn Harris will join the Broadway company of 'Oh, Mary' as Mary's Husband (if you know, you know), Mary's Teacher and Mary's Chaperone, respectively. They'll star alongside 'Drag Race' star Jinkx Monsoon, who is playing Mary Todd Lincoln starting Aug. 4. That's when Nanjiani, Urie and Harris will also begin performances, which will run through Sept. 28. This production marks the Broadway debuts of Nanjiani ('The Big Sick,' 'Eternals') and Harris ('American Fiction'). Urie, a recent Emmy nominee for 'Shrinking,' was recently on Broadway in 'Spamalot' and 'Once Upon a Mattress.'

Recoups $4.5 Million Broadway Investment Cole Escola Can't Process the Meteoric Success of Broadway's 'Oh, Mary!' They'll take over after Tituss Burgess (as Mary), Conrad Ricamora (Mary's Husband), James Scully (Mary's Teacher) and Bianca Leigh (Mary's Chaperone) play their final performances on Aug. 2. Tony Macht (Mary's Husband's Assistant/Kyle) will remain with the company through Sept. 28. 'Oh, Mary' is written by Tony Award winner Cole Escola and directed by Tony Award winner Sam Pinkleton. The play follows a miserable Mary Todd Lincoln, an alcoholic aspiring cabaret singer, in the weeks leading up to the 16th president's assassination. As the official logline reads, 'Unrequited yearning, alcoholism and suppressed desires abound in this one-act play that finally examines the forgotten life and dreams of Mrs. Lincoln through the lens of an idiot.' After a successful Off-Broadway run, the play opened on Broadway on July 11, 2024, at the Lyceum Theatre, where it became the first show in the theater's 121-year history to gross more than $1 million in a single week. 'Oh, Mary!'has since broken its own box office record 12 times and has seen other actors like Betty Gilpin take over as Mary. Best of Variety 'Harry Potter' TV Show Cast Guide: Who's Who in Hogwarts?

Distant relatives of the two rivals re-enacted the famous meeting on the 200th anniversary in 2004. In 1847, songwriter Stephen Foster's first major hit, "Oh! Susanna," was performed for the first time, in a Pittsburgh saloon. It soon became a standard for minstrel shows. In 1859, Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities was published.

Eisenhower was nominated as the Republican presidential candidate, with Richard Nixon as his running mate. They were elected that November.

‘Real Women Have Curves' Announces Broadway Closing
Real Women Have Curves: The Musical will play its final Broadway performance on June 29 following 31 previews and 73 regular performances. The musical opened April 27 at The James Earl Jones Theatre to mostly favorable reviews, but never really caught on at the box office during a spring that saw huge receipts for star-driven productions. For the week ending June 15, Real Women Have Curves filled only 63% of available seats, grossing just $365,252 with an average ticket price of $68.63. More from Deadline 'Oh, Mary!' Breaks House Record As Cole Escola's Starring Run Nears End; Overall Receipts Drop As Hollywood Goes Home - Broadway Box Office 2025-26 Awards Season Calendar: Dates For Tonys, Emmys, Oscars & More Carrie Preston Teases Her 'Elsbeth' Guest Star Wish List: "Pretty Much Everybody On Broadway" Based on the play by Josefina López and the 2002 film adaptation starring America Ferrera, Real Women Have Curves focuses on a group of immigrants working at a small dress-making shop in East L.A. The musical mixes family drama and self-acceptance with larger social themes about immigration, with the threat of deportation ever present. 'We have been working on developing this show for the last five years and could have never predicted that when it made its way to Broadway it would be timelier than ever,' said producers Barry Weissler and Jack Noseworthy in a statement. 'Bringing this joyful immigrant story that explores the American Dream to the stage has been an honor and a responsibility that we don't take lightly, especially in today's political climate. 'We are grateful,' they continued, 'to our company and audiences who made it all possible, and especially applaud our cast's courage, vulnerability, and authenticity in telling this story each night. Though our run on Broadway is coming to an end, we are very much looking forward to the future life of Real Women Have Curves and continuing to bring this important story to new audiences.' The musical received two Tony Award nominations – Best Original Score and, for Justina Machado, Best Featured Actress in a Musical – but went home empty-handed earlier this month. The musical stars Broadway newcomer Tatianna Córdoba, Florencia Cuenca, Shelby Acosta, Carla Jimenez, Aline Mayagoitia, Mauricio Mendoza, Mason Reeves, Jennifer Sánchez and Sandra Valls. The musical was directed and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo, with music and lyrics by Joy Huerta and Benjamin Velez, and book by Lisa Loomer with Nell Benjamin. American Repertory Theater (A.R.T) at Harvard University produced the musical's world premiere in 2023.
