Jane Krakowski will join the West End production of Oh, Mary! at the Trafalgar Theatre from December 2026, marking a significant casting change as the show extends its booking through June 2027.

Jane Krakowski is set to reprise her role as Mary Todd Lincoln in Oh, Mary! at the Trafalgar Theatre, appearing for six weeks from 7 December 2026 to 16 January 2027. She takes over from Lolly Adefope, whose final performance is scheduled for 5 December. The production is now booking until 5 June 2027, with casting for the role after Krakowski’s departure to be announced.

Oh, Mary! is an 80-minute, one-act comedy written by Cole Escola and directed by Sam Pinkleton. It offers a fictionalised glimpse into the life and ambitions of Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks before Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. The show features Lucy Frederick as Mary’s Chaperone, J R Ballantyne as Mary’s Husband’s Assistant, Vinnie Heaven as Mary’s Teacher, and Syrus Lowe as Mary’s Husband.

The creative team also includes scenic designer dots, costume designer Holly Pierson, lighting designer Cha See, and sound design by Daniel Kluger and Drew Levy. Wig design is by Leah J Loukas, with arrangement by David Dabbon. Stuart Burt handles casting, with US casting led by Henry Russell Bergstein, supported by an associate creative team comprising Georgie Rankcom and others.

Oh, Mary! premiered off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in January 2024 before transferring to Broadway’s Lyceum Theatre in July 2024, where it continues to run. The West End production launched at the Trafalgar Theatre on 3 December 2025 and won Best Entertainment or Comedy Play at the 2026 Olivier Awards.

The show also earned Tony Awards for Best Leading Actor in a Play for Cole Escola and Best Direction of a Play for Sam Pinkleton. Krakowski previously played the role of Mary Todd Lincoln on Broadway, returning to the part for this West End stint.
