  "account": "HBO has officially announced that the play Oh, Mary! will be arriving on their platform next year, bringing excitement to fans of the show. The teaser shared today featured Cole Escola, the writer and star of the play, arriving at HBO headquarters in costume, greeted by Samantha and Miranda from Sex And The City. The teaser hinted at the play's debut on HBO, with the exact date yet to be revealed. Escola expressed his joy at bringing the show to a wider audience, stating that it marks the first step in spreading awareness and eradicating ignorance about the play. Director Sam Pinkleton shared his admiration for the theater legacy, having fallen in love with it as a child by repeatedly watching Cats and Into The Woods. He was honored to continue that legacy with Oh, Mary! on HBO. The performance, originally from London's West End, features Escola, Bianca Leigh, and Tony Macht reprising their roles as Mary Todd Lincoln, alongside Giles Terera and Michael Urie as Mary's Husband and Teacher. Oh, Mary! is set in the White House, where an alcoholic and unstable version of Mary Todd Lincoln dreams of escaping her mundane life to return to her love of cabaret.",
