Cole Escola’s ‘Oh, Mary!’ Opens on Broadway With a Gay Leather Bar After-Party, a Closeted Abe Lincoln and Plenty of ‘Stupid Gems’
Cole Escola's hilarious comedy 'Oh, Mary!' celebrated its opening night on Broadway with an after-party at a gay leather bar.
Conrad Ricamora plays Abraham Lincoln, who is dealing with the stress of the Civil War in some very un-Honest Abe ways (and a secret male lover or two). Everything now seems like it’s existing IP, and this is one of the only things that is truly an original piece that came from the mind of an idiot named Cole Escola,” Ricamora told Variety on the red carpet before the performance. Just like the Off-Broadway run of “Oh, Mary!” — which counted Steven Spielberg, Pedro Pascal, Melissa McCarthy, Sally Field and more A-listers among its guests — the Broadway premiere saw Matthew Broderick, Patti LuPone, Amy Sedaris, Julio Torres, Rebecca Hall, Ruth Negga, Maude Apatow, Jim Rash, Laura Bernanti and more on opening night.
