JINKX MONSOON

TO MAKE HER WEST END DEBUT

REPRISING HER CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED PERFORMANCE

AS MARY TODD LINCOLN

IN

THE OLIVIER AWARD-WINNING SMASH HIT COMEDY

Producers Kevin McCollum & Lucas McMahon and Mike Lavoie & Carlee Briglia are delighted to announce that Jinkx Monsoon will make her West End debut, reprising her critically acclaimed performance as Mary Todd Lincoln in OH, MARY!, a role she sold-out during her 8-week run on Broadway and subsequent encore engagement which was heralded as one of the Best Performances of 2025 in the New York Times. Jinkx will play a strictly limited 6-week season at Trafalgar Theatre from 17 August until 26 September 2026.

The Olivier and Tony Award-winning smash hit comedy OH, MARY! recently extended its West End run and is now booking until 2 January 2027.

Jinkx Monsoon (Hera Lilith Hoffer) can currently be seen as Judy Garland in Peter Quilter’s End of the Rainbow at Soho Theatre, Walthamstow. She is an award-winning actress, comedian, recording artist, and the first and only drag queen to win RuPaul’s Drag Race twice. In just two years, she has become a Broadway breakout star and box office draw with critically acclaimed performances including Mary Todd Lincoln in the Tony-winning smash hit, Oh, Mary!, Matron "Mama" Morton in Chicago (where she broke box office records during an extended 10-week run), Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors off-Broadway opposite Corbin Bleu, and Ruth in the Tony-nominated revival, Pirates! The Penzance Musical - which landed Jinkx her first Drama League Award nomination. Variety hailed her performance as a "triumph" adding, "Broadway should be honoured to have her gracing the boards, as she is sure to be canonized as one of the all-time comedy greats.”

OH, MARY! currently stars Catherine Tate as Mary Todd Lincoln, Kate O’Donnell as Mary’s Chaperone, Oliver Stockley as Mary’s Husband’s Assistant, with Dino Fetscher as Mary’s Teacher, and Scott Karim as Mary’s Husband.

Catherine Tate’s final performance as Mary Todd Lincoln will be Saturday 18 July. Cole Escola will then reprise their Tony Award-winning role as Mary Todd Lincoln for a strictly limited 4-week season from 20 July until 15 August 2026. Casting for the role of Mary Todd Lincoln from 28 September 2026 onwards is to be announced.

OH, MARY! is a dark comedy about a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Unrequited yearning, alcoholism, and suppressed desires abound in this 80-minute one-act play that finally examines the forgotten life and dreams of Mrs. Lincoln, through the lens of an idiot (playwright Cole Escola).
