Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

Oh, Mary! is a unique comedy based on the life of Mary Todd Lincoln, the wife of President Abraham Lincoln. Pairing political intrigue with a bitingly funny script, this play delves into a lesser-known historical figure with the talents of Tony Award-nominated director Sam Pinkleton and the comedically gifted actor and singer Cole Escola at the helm. Lauded by audiences and critics alike, the show is delightfully campy, queer, irreverent, and an absolute breath of fresh air.

"Cole Escola’s Oh, Mary! is not just funny: It is dizzyingly, breathtakingly funny, the kind of funny that ambushes your body into uncontained laughter."

Christian Lewis,

"Cole Escola’s “Oh, Mary!” is the best kind of stupid: a broad, wildly funny comedy that spits in the face of American history and uses it as joke fodder for some endlessly campy humor."

4/5

"[Cole Escola's] show, Oh, Mary!...takes the public blank slate of Abraham’s hoop-skirted wife as a launchpad for 80 minutes of irreverent, raunchy, gleefully deranged revisionist history"

Punctual, superb choreography, colorful and original costumes. I loved the Yennes' costumes. A high-quality show with talented singers, dancers, and acrobats. A must-see. Bravo

Combo: The Museum of Broadway + Edge Observation Deck Timed Entry Tickets

Marina Siqueira
Edge is simply a must-see!!! Stunning views of the entire city, an absolutely incredible experience—I managed to take so many great photos. They closed off part of the outdoor deck, but that didn’t stop me from taking excellent photos. Vessel is also great for taking photos from high up with a view. And it’s quite different!

Filled my childhood dream to go to Empire State Building as first I saw the building was in Superman from 70s. This first trip to New York as was my 50th on the 19th of March few days before seeing Empire State Building coming the UK. Very Happy 50th year old. 😀

Madama Butterfly

Experience
Maria Francisca Sanz Valero
One of the best operas I've ever heard. And not just musically—the set design and costumes really made an impression on us. The Met is one of the world's finest opera houses. I recommend arriving early to enjoy the spectacle of the audience's attire: it felt like we were at the Oscars.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Experience
Julia Kiefl-Spitzer
Everything about this play was unforgettable. The theater is breathtaking. The energy of others being able to see the play as well fills the room. Seeing the decorations they set out for guests to interact with were amazing. The play itself was magical and incredible. Even my husband was in awe with how they managed to do some of the things for it. We absolutely would go back to watch it again. The best part was being able to go while Tom Felton was acting as Draco once more. Then getting to see him exit the theater and ask for his autograph was the cherry on top!

Wicked

Experience
Brandee Lake
I had a fantastic experience using Headout to book tickets for Wicked on Broadway. The app made it easy to find exactly what I was looking for, and the booking process was completely seamless. The real highlight? I scored incredible orchestra seats near the front just two days before the show. The view was perfect, and the value for the price was unbeatable. Smooth, reliable, and great last-minute options—I’ll definitely be using Headout again.

Death Becomes Her

Experience
Gary Daniel Wadkins
I was curious to see how they were going to adapt the movie, and wondered if the dark humor would be glossed over. It didn't take long to have those concerns addressed and taken away! This is a funny show. The acting is excellent and the songs are very well done. We enjoyed every single minute. Bravo to the cast and crew! A+
