Cole Escola literally changes history in 'Oh, Mary!'
Cole Escola is the star and creator of Oh Mary!, an upcoming Broadway play about Mary Todd Lincoln, the wife of President Abraham Lincoln. But there's a twist: Mary is reimagined as a raging alcoholic with cabaret dreams and Lincoln is portrayed as an evil closeted gay man plotting on her misery. On the cusp of the show's Broadway debut, Brittany chats with Cole about the inspiration behind Oh Mary!, their favorite joke and why it's fun to play older women.

OH, MARY! was the most fun I've had in a theatre in decades. A rebirth of the mayhem we loved from Charles Ludlam. I hail you, Cole Escola!
