Jane Krakowski to Reprise ‘Oh, Mary!’ Role on London’s West End
Jane Krakowski is heading across the pond to reprise the role of Mary Todd Lincoln in “Oh, Mary!”
The Tony and Olivier winner will be back in Mary’s petticoats starting Dec. 7 at London’s Trafalgar Theatre, with her six-week run ending Jan. 16. Krakowski previously played the role on Broadway for a total of 12 weeks after her original eight-week run was extended.
Cole Escola’s Tony-winning play has now also extended its London run through June 5, 2027.
In a video announcing Krakowski’s return, the “30 Rock” star is seen practicing a British accent, even dropping the c-word. “Wait, is she still American?” Krakowski asks as she turns to the camera. Audiences will have to see the show to find out!
