Good news for anyone who thought **Bowen Yang’s Broadway run in Oh, Mary! was far too short: Mary Todd Lincoln is sticking around.
Yang has extended his run in Cole Escola’s wildly irreverent Broadway comedy through January 17, 2027, adding six weeks to his originally announced engagement. The Saturday Night Live star made his Broadway debut as the delightfully unhinged Mary Todd Lincoln on September 15, and apparently New York wasn’t quite ready to let him go.
And if you’ve been waiting for a chance to see Bowen Yang in Oh, Mary! without spending Broadway-sized money, there are some very real bargains.
The easiest option is the show’s $43 in-person rush. A limited number of same-day tickets are available at the Lyceum Theatre box office, located at 149 West 45th Street. The catch? They’re limited, so you’ll want to get there early and be prepared for the possibility that your first-choice performance sells out.
There’s also a $47 digital lottery. Entries open at midnight the day before the performance, with drawings at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. It’s essentially Broadway’s version of buying a lottery ticket—except the potential prize is 80 minutes of glorious theatrical chaos.
For those who don’t want to leave their ticket destiny entirely to chance, official tickets are also available, with prices varying by performance and availability.
Oh, Mary! takes a completely ridiculous fictionalized look at Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks before Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Yang joins a production that has become one of Broadway’s biggest comedy hits.
So if Bowen Yang Broadway tickets, Oh, Mary! rush tickets, or cheap Broadway tickets in NYC are on your search history, this is your moment.
Your wallet may finally stop screaming. Mary Todd Lincoln, however, probably won’t.
