Bowen Yang to Join OH, MARY! On Broadway
Oh, Bowen! Acclaimed actor, comedian, and Las Culturistas host Bowen Yang will make his Broadway debut as the title role in Oh, Mary! Yang will take on the role for a limited 12 week engagement from Sept. 15 to Dec. 6, 2026.
“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.”
Yang will join continuing cast members Phillip James Brannon as Mary’s Husband, Barrett Foa as Mary’s Teacher, Bianca Leigh as Mary’s Chaperone, and returning original cast member Tony Macht as Mary’s Teacher's Assistant at the Lyceum Theatre.
As previously announced, current Mary Todd Lincoln Meg Stalter ends her run in the show on Sept. 12, with Hannah Solow playing the role on Sunday, Sept. 13.
Yang is known for his work on Saturday Night Live, for which he has received five Emmy nominations, and co-hosting the acclaimed Las Culturistas podcast alongside Matt Rogers. He has also been seen on screen in the Wicked films, Dicks: The Musical, and writing on the first season of Schmigadoon! On Broadway, he is a co-producer on Titaníque’s Tony-nominated Broadway run.
Yang joins the iconic lineup of performers to play the role of Mary Todd Lincoln, including Tony Award-winning original star and playwright Cole Escola, Betty Gilpin, Tituss Burgess, Jinkx Monsoon, Jane Krakowski, Solow, John Cameron Mitchell, Maya Rudolph, and Stalter.
Oh, Mary! plays at the Lyceum Theatre on West 47th Street in New York City. For tickets and more information, visit here.
