No way that was an audience member last night unless it was a hearing device or something back stage at one point it went louder and turned off. Agree they should of paused the show for a moment but everyone was having such a fun time

I keep saying this, but they could easily keep this show running through the end of the year with stunt casting.

She’s 65."
Sally Field was 66 in Spielberg’s 2012 Oscar winning biopic LINCOLN - Daniel Day-Lewis was 55 when he played Lincoln (11 years younger than Field). The real Mary Todd was 9 years younger than Lincoln. All historical accuracy is irrelevant when it concerns the fabulous Mary Todd. Joan Rivers woulda be a hoot as a replacement.

New Cast. Same Bratty Curls.
Like every new administration, there’s sometimes a rush to get a lot done in a little amount of time…

I think Joan might be a little stiff in the role, at least since 2014, when she died.
But I think it's a fair call out to say that while an actor of any age could play Mary Todd, the role is intensely physical and so older performers would find the slapstick comedy a tad challenging. For example, the absurd bit of Mary being unable to get down from a desk requires a fair bit of agility. There are plenty of actors over 60 I would love to see tackle Mary, but many of them would probably alter the blocking a bit.
For the record, the list of actors whom I hope to see tackle Mary Todd Lincoln include but are not limited to:
John Cameron Mitchell, Amy Sederis, Titus Burgess, Jane Krakowski, Bill Hader, Nick Kroll, Patti LuPone, Maya Rudolph, Ayo Edebiri, Bowan Yang, Christian Borle, Kristin Chenoweth, Kevin del Aguila, Charles Bush, Jinkx Monsoon, Alaska Thunderf*ck, Neil Patrick Harris, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Nick Offermann, Megan Mullalley, Nick Offermann and Megan Mullaley Simultaneously, Michael Shannon, Daniel Radcliffe, Jennifer Smiard, Miss Piggy (Avenue Q-Style), Miss Piggy (Non-Avenue Q Style), Leslie Jones, Julia Louis-Dryfess, Amy Poehler, Fred Armisen, Elizabeth Moss, Jon Hamm, Emma Thompson, Meryl Streep, Octavia Spencer, Tracey Ullmann and Sir Ian McKellen.

If I could have one casting wish right now - just one - it would be Amy Sedaris as Mary reunited with Stephen Colbert as Lincoln.

And Paul Dinello as either Mary's Teacher or Mary's Husband's Assistant.

Ok... so also do I want Amy Sedaris as Mary Todd Lincoln, OR do I want Amy Sedaris as Jerri Blank as Mary Todd Lincoln?

I know he is too old, but I would love to see Charles Busch as Mary. Charles Busch is why Cole Escola exists.

I also think Martin Short in his prime would be a wonderful.

Thanks for writing a real review, Quisking! I've only been able to find stuff like "Betty is amazing, Betty is great " which isn't very helpful. Fascinating that it's so much faster. Reminds me of Patti replacing in Master Class and cutting off ten minutes because she spoke faster than Zoe Caldwell.

When I saw the show on Sunday, it was only 70 minutes long.

I got word that the casting announcement for the next Mary will be out soon, possibly today.

And it's definitely not Cole returning.

Indeed. This person will bridge the gap between Betty and Cole's return sometime in April.

FWIW they took a few mid June performances off Telecharge. I have a ticket to one of these. I called Telecharge who called the theater who said the shows aren’t canceled but were taken down for “special performances” and that’s all they would tell me.

Andre wouldn't have the stamina for the role.

I'd kind of love to see Molly Shannon do this. Actually, while we're on The Other Two, I'd love to see Helene Yorke do this, too.
