Overview
- HBO announced on Thursday that it will debut the filmed live-capture of Oh, Mary! on its linear channel and make it available to stream on HBO Max in 2027, with a specific premiere date to be announced.
- The program is the recorded July 28, 2026 performance at London’s Trafalgar Theatre featuring Cole Escola reprising the Tony-winning role of Mary Todd Lincoln.
- Sam Pinkleton directed the stage production and recreated his direction for the live-capture, and the filmed performance includes Giles Terera, Bianca Leigh, Tony Macht and Michael Urie in principal roles.
- Oh, Mary! grew from an Off-Broadway 2024 debut to a Broadway transfer that set box-office records at the Lyceum, won Tony and Olivier awards, and continues to run onstage while a North American tour launches.
- Producers say the HBO release will broaden access and extend the show’s lifecycle, reflecting a wider industry push to preserve and monetize hit live theatre through premium TV and streaming presentations.
