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. For more information, our team has everything you need to know about seeing 'Oh, Mary!' and its brand spanking new ensemble on Broadway below.

Jinkx Monsoon Christmas tour This November and December, Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme are embarking on their 32-show 'Jinkx and Dela Holiday Tour.' Want to see them live? The pair will be at Brooklyn's Kings Theatre on Thursday, Dec. 4. 'Oh, Mary!' new cast members The show's greenest thespians are all fairly big names in their own right. Outside their biggest credits listed above, here's a bit more about each of them. Jinkx Monsoon might look familiar to 'Project Runway' fans. The Season Five winner is a favorite among the show's diehards. However, she's also known for her annual aforementioned Christmas tour with BenDeLaCreme and guest spots on 'Krapopolis' and 'Doctor Who.' Advertisement Michael Urie recently jumped a stardom level. The Emmy-nominated 'Shrinking' star also recently starred in 'Once Upon A Mattress' and 'Spamalot' on Broadway, making him a fixture on the Great White Way. Other notable roles of his include 'Ugly Betty,' 'Goodrich' and 'Younger.' Kumail Nanjiani has been onstage before. The leading man — who fronted 'The Big Sick,' 'Stuber,' 'The Lovebirds' and the miniseries 'Welcome To Chippendales' among others — got his start as a stand-up. You may also recognize him from 'Silicon Valley' or 'Portlandia.' Jenn Harris is making her Broadway debut. However, she is a seasoned actress who has appeared in HBO's 'High Maintenance,' NBC's '30 Rock' and the TV series 'New York Is Dead.' Most recently, she popped up in 'Elsbeth.' Star-studded shows on Broadway For those hoping to see big names at the theater IRL, this just might be your year. Advertisement Here are five very funny productions currently on the Great White Way. • 'Waiting for Godot' with Keanu Reeves • 'Hamilton' with Leslie Odom Jr. • 'Art' with Neal Patrick Harris Advertisement • 'Maybe Happy Ending' with Darren Criss • 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' with Tom Felton What else is on Broadway?

But these aren't half-formed shows in mid-workshop — they're fully realized, gorgeous, and intimate, thanks to being staged in the roughly 550-plus-seat theater at the Loeb Drama Center. Lauren Patten's take-no-prisoners performance of 'You Oughta Know' in the middle of Jagged Little Pill — and the thunderous ovation that followed — was the sound of a star being born.

Winslow Townson At over 140 years old, the Boston Symphony Orchestra is one of the city's longest-standing cultural treasures, and for most of the year, the lights are on at the gilded auditorium of Symphony Hall. For most of the fall and spring, the orchestra (music directed by Andris Nelsons since 2014) offers symphonies, concertos, and even opera in concert, and world-class soloists are a regular presence. The winter holidays, late spring, and a big slate of special events — including the annual July 4 Fireworks Spectacular at the Hatch Shell — belong to the Boston Pops, conducted by Keith Lockhart since 1995. In summer, both orchestras head for Tanglewood, their bucolic summer home in the Berkshires where concertgoers can either reserve a seat in the Koussevitzky Music Shed or lounge on the lawn.

The historic meeting hall and the granite-and-brick market buildings constitute a shopping and dining destination unparalleled in downtown. Munch a pizza slice or a lobster roll while you peruse the pushcart vendors and applaud the street performers. Full restaurants, from an Irish pub to a seafood grille, cater to bigger appetites.

Erin Clark/Globe Staff The Red Sox (the team's principal owner also owns the Globe) have for years touted Fenway Park as 'America's Most Beloved Ballpark.' Curiously, the greatest affirmation of the slogan tends to come not when the Sox are faring well, but when they are not. That's when fans of visiting teams seize the opportunity to catch a game at the historic venue, built in 1912, and the broad appeal of Fenway is at its most obvious. If game tickets are unavailable or too pricey, a tour of Fenway is an excellent alternative. We recommend the Day Game Premium Tour, especially if you have kids.

What lies inside is nothing short of a world-class institution that, true to form, continues to push forward with innovative treatments of its renowned collection that probe the outer limits of a museum's place in the world. Here, everything from the Renaissance to German Expressionism to Impressionism — to one of the most thoughtful collections of American Modernism in the country — rub up against contemporary art, thought, and self-examination in a way that routinely makes for one of the most stimulating museum-going experiences in the world.

The ICA Watershed (open from late May through Labor Day) across the harbor in East Boston deepens the experience. Housed in a former copper pipe factory, its seasonal, large-scale exhibits are immersive and free. A water shuttle ($20 for non-member adults, ticket includes general ICA admission) operates between the two.

Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff A confection of eccentricity, this faux Venetian palazzo on the fringe of the Fenway was first Mrs. Gardner's home and then, once it was packed full enough of jaw-dropping European paintings to be a museum, it, well, became a museum. (Mrs. Gardner lived in suites upstairs the last years of her life as the public perused her collection below.) A perennial magnet for tourists, locals may tire a tad of the palazzo's static display (a display studded, it should be said, with Titian, Botticelli, Rembrandt, and Sargent, to name a few; just goes to show how spoiled for art we are in this town). But if that's the case, the museum's vibrant temporary exhibition space in its Renzo Piano-designed contemporary wing keeps things fresh, as does a robust roster of concerts, lectures, and performances in its state-of-the-art theater.

Serene and exquisitely landscaped, Mount Auburn Cemetery is part arboretum, part wildlife sanctuary, and entirely fascinating. The venerable burial ground is the final resting place for an extraordinary array of folks, including abolitionist Harriet Jacobs, Christian Science founder Mary Baker Eddy, painter Winslow Homer, pioneering cookbook author Fannie Farmer, writer Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and many more.

Its American and European collections are icing on the cake: Replete with Van Goghs, Monets, Gauguins, Copleys, and Sargents — to name but a few — a day is never enough to work your way through its myriad riches.

Displays include a tribute to the 'Impossible Dream' 1967 Red Sox, and of course, an homage to Boston's most recent sports champion, the 2024 Celtics.

The USS Constitution earned her 'Old Ironsides' nickname in the War of 1812 because British cannonballs bounced off her hull. Once you've trod the wooden decks of this majestic relic of the Age of Sail—it's free, but ID required for adults—be sure to board the USS Cassin Young (closed mid-November to late May).

While attending last weekend's 78th Tony Awards, the Emmy-winning actress teased who from Broadway she'd like to work with on an upcoming season of the CBS procedural comedy drama.

I always ask them, 'Do you wanna be on the show? Because I'll pass it along,'' she told Us Weekly at the awards show. Preston added, 'So I saw Brooke Shields tonight. I saw Celia Keenan-Bolger tonight. Of course Cole Escola. I'd like to see if we can round up pretty much everybody on Broadway and get them on.' The interview came shortly before Escola made history as the first openly non-binary Tony Winner, taking home Lead Actor in a Play for their hilarious take on Mary Todd Lincoln in Oh, Mary!, which they also wrote. Elsebeth's Season 2 finale 'Ramen Holiday' brought back guest stars Stephen Moyer, Retta, Gina Gershon, Elizabeth Lail, Arian Moayed, André De Shields, Alyssa Milano, Mary-Louise Parker and Ethan Slater for the musical episode. 'We were trying to get maybe four of these guest stars, but we got eight,' Preston previously told Deadline. 'They wanted to come back and play with us, which was such an honor. It just meant the world to me that they wanted to be a part of it, and they were all so game.' Executive producer Jonathan Tolins told Deadline of the episode's Chicago tribute, 'The two hardest parts were the scheduling and waiting to be granted the rights to use the 'Cell Block Tango'. We prepared as if they were going to say yes, and fortunately, in the end, they did, because we went a long way on a limb getting ready for it, and getting the number together.'

Everything old is old again — like Putin playing with Stalin's handbook
Everything old is old again Contrary to popular belief, I have thoughts. Putin. Playing us in the Ukraine like Stalin played us in Korea. The USA negotiated that Korean armistice for years — but fighting continued. The armistice? Not signed until Stalin died. Putin is playing with Stalin's handbook. Now, we speak of the Great White Way. Broadway is shrinking to narrow way. Current productions shrivel and there's yesteryear's reruns like 'Cabaret,' 'Chicago,' 'The Music Man' and 'Othello.' OK, so maybe a $2 bill isn't returning, but white powdery round doughnuts have been making their moves. And young people are moving back in with their parents. Cinema? Besides an upjuiced Tom Cruise still smashing, bashing and trashing, there's maybe a 600th 'Star Wars' and soon maybe Shirley Temple outfitted in some shmatta from a consignment shop. Next up? Garter belts, stockings and boobs INSIDE bras. Coming next? Sitting in a rumble seat it'll be Tom Hanks playing a teen and De Niro chasing one. Forget Christmas. We'll re-see 'Miracle on 33rd Street,' a silent 'It's a Wonderful Life' and campaign buttons that say 'Vote for Thomas E. Dewey for President.' Want more? How's corduroy, plaids, chunky sweaters, vinyl records, recorders, vintage cameras, hairpieces. Watch. Before you know it we'll get a cloned Richard Nixon back again. Don't forget convertible cars or retro office buildings getting reborn into cozy apartments. Year by year, bit by bit, day by day, what's NOT going back is the way you used to look good in that magnifying mirror. Contrary to popular belief, I have thoughts. Giving back to alma mater WHAT's going forward is the top women's college — Barnard. Graduates include Greta Gerwig, Helen Gahagan Douglas, Eileen Ford, Twyla Tharp, Sheila Nevins, Erica Jong, Cynthia Nixon, Jeane Kirkpatrick — and philanthropist Francine LeFrak who last week opened the Francine A. LeFrak Center for Well-Being. It provides holistic support across key dimensions of health and wellness — physical, mental, financial. She previously opened the Samuel J. and Ethel LeFrak Theater which seats 2,300. At the opening, Brian Stokes Mitchell sang 'The Impossible Dream' to honor the late Ethel who had a big crush on Brian Stokes Mitchell long back — when he had just two names. ALSO changed? The medical fraternity. Tell your doctor: 'Oh, I'm suddenly so grateful to you. I'm just beginning to suddenly feel a bit better. How can I ever repay you for taking care of me?' Doctor: 'By check, cash or money order.' FOR sure mostly in New York, kids, mostly in New York.
