  "account": "HBO will be airing a filmed version of the Tony Award-winning Broadway play \"Oh, Mary!\" on the network and streaming it on HBO Max in 2027. The dark comedy, written by Cole Escola, follows the tragic story of a distraught Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to her husband's assassination. Cole Escola reprises his role as Mary, alongside an ensemble cast that includes Giles Terera, Bianca Leigh, Tony Macht, and Michael Urie. Nina Rosenstein, Executive Vice President of HBO's programming, praised the show as \"wildly original\" and described Cole Escola's work as \"the almost impossible.\" Cole Escola expressed his excitement in sharing the show with a wider audience, stating that \"knowing about 'Oh, Mary!' is the first step in getting rid of it.\" The film, a recording of a July 28, 2026 performance at the Trafalgar Theatre in London's West End, is directed by Sam Pinkleton. Pinkleton shared his admiration for theater and the opportunity to continue the legacy of the show through HBO. \"Oh, Mary!\" first premiered Off Broadway in January 2024 before transferring to Broadway's Lyceum Theatre in July of that year. The show broke box office records in the Lyceum Theatre's history and became the first show of the 2024-25 Broadway season to recoup its investment. It also premiered on the West End in December 2025 and is set to launch a North American tour this month.",
