Bowen Yang is the latest A-list star to suffocate at the (fictional) White House for Cole Escola’s ultra-successful play “Oh Mary!” He’s making his Broadway debut as former first lady Mary Todd Lincoln on Sept. 15 for a 12-week run through Dec. 6.

“My friendship with Cole has brought me many places over the years: late-night pizzerias, cross-borough social-distance walks, a tough production of ‘Les Misérables’ sung in Dutch,” said Yang. “But being part of their deranged and profound masterpiece, ‘Oh, Mary!’ is my favorite one by far. I will spend the rest of my life thanking them for the best Broadway debut a cis gay guy with limited singing ability could ask for.”
