Bowen Yang Takes Broadway in Oh, Mary! as Mary Todd Lincoln

Bowen Yang will star as Mary Todd Lincoln in the Broadway production Oh, Mary!, starting September 15 and marking his Broadway debut. He initially declined the role to respect a tight SNL schedule but reconsidered after seeing understudy Hannah Solow perform; the show’s rotating Marys—from Betty Gilpin to Jinkx Monsoon and Maya Rudolph—have kept the role dynamic, with casting director Henry Russell Bergstein praising each interpretation.
