Cole Escola’s Tony Award-winning comedy Oh, Mary! is heading to Toronto for a limited engagement at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in fall 2027, according to an announcement from Mirvish Productions. Mirvish Productions announced the upcoming North American tour stop, though no official dates or further ticket information have been released yet.
Royal Alexandra Theatre Engagement
The production brings a darkly comic perspective to the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Escola wrote and starred in the original Broadway run, portraying First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln as a cabaret-obsessed shut-in who yearns to perform on stage.
Canadian audiences have anticipated a local production since 2024, when word of mouth surrounding the comedy spread online following its Off-Broadway debut. That initial run led directly to a record-breaking Broadway engagement at the Lyceum Theatre, where weekly ticket sales surpassed $1 million—a milestone the show achieved 12 separate times during the run. The production subsequently earned two 2025 Tony Award nominations, securing nods for Escola’s performance and director Sam Pinkleton.

The comedy has also found critical acclaim overseas. Following a run in London’s West End, Oh, Mary! won the Olivier Award for Best New Entertainment or Comedy Play.
