Jane Krakowski is Mary Todd Lincoln on Broadway beginning October 14.
Hi. This is Broadway and Television's Jane Krakowski coming to you from the Lyceum Theatre. I I can't tell you what a joy it has been to create the role of Mary Todd Lincoln in Oh, Mary. To originate a role such as Mary Todd Lincoln in a new American play has been absolutely thrilling. And I don't wanna give anything away, but the the wig that Mary wears is really a treat. It is, very best. And, I mean, it's an ensemble piece, of course, but it really is about Mary, will you excuse me for one minute, please? Performances begin October 14.
