Oh, Mary

Jan 5, 2025 | 113 words | Theater 

This alternate-universe take on Mary Todd Lincoln has conquered Broadway and received rave reviews.  We attended just the other night, as part of a sold-out house.  The energy and intelligence of the production are undeniable.  The individual who wrote and stars in this show is a marvel, and goes all out in bringing the unconventional (to say the least) title character to life.  

While I usually enjoy farce and am a big fan of sarcasm, somehow much of this show’s humor came off as a bit too mean-spirited to be funny.  And yes, I admit it, the coarseness and frequency of the sexual references are just not my cup of tea.
