Oh Mary opens at L.A. Ahmanson Theatre with sold out show
The comedy play Oh Mary opens this week at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles after selling nearly all seats for its run.
Production arrives in California
Director Sam Pinkleton brought the hysterical story of Mary Todd Lincoln to the 2,100-seat venue. The vast majority of tickets sold out before the performance began this week. This production follows a smash off-Broadway run and a national tour that visited San Francisco, Portland and Seattle. Leading lady Alaska Thunderfuck steps into the role originally written for Cole Escola on Broadway.
Director praises large venue
Pinkleton suggests the larger space works to the show advantage by spreading laughter contagion among ticketholders. He noted that the play is not subtle and really works in these big rooms. The director previously directed La Cage aux Folles at Pasadena Playhouse in 2024. He also currently directs a revival of The Rocky Horror Show for Broadway audiences.
Future dates announced
The Ahmanson Theatre announced that demand will result in a return engagement scheduled for 2027. This date offers hope for fans who missed good seats during the current run. The tour continues to stretch across different cities while maintaining its energetic comedic style.
