OH, MARY Reviews (2026 New) — Page 12

My initial concern about the casting of Meg was whether or not she had the training or craft to do the role. I have no insight into her background. To me it seemed like she was a cringe comic and social media star who broke through.

I truly enjoy her but wondered how she would approach the character. Does she have a process or would she play it the same as everything she does. I found her acting uneven and lacking in the Lena Dunham penned vehicle which was cancelled. She also does a lot of "small" nuanced comedy which works great on camera and not so much on stage. It makes sense that the previous poster said they felt she was missing a lot of the humor.

I hope she is getting solid support and direction to deepen her performance.

In Meg’s defense, I saw her first night and thought she was genuinely fantastic in the role. Not the Best™️, but very much in the upper ranks of Marys I’ve seen. She may be riding the high of great audience response (and an Emmy nomination, let’s be honest) and leaning into her “bag of tricks” more than she was during her debut performance as she settles in - which happens with comedy, particularly the further we get from the OBC - but I think she’s definitely capable of a deeper performance than quizking’s experience of her.

She was also refreshingly restrained in comparison to Maya Rudolph a week prior, so perhaps there was some general relief in the paring back of bits and voices.

Has it actually been confirmed that Hannah will be going on and not Jackie?"

Yes, by Hannah herself. She has alerts set up on Instagram for people who follow her.

Telecharge also send out an email saying Meg is out tonight.

Anyone see tonight's performance?

I wonder if these absences are in correlation to what Quizking101 alluded to in their review, about the energy level vs sustainability.

Also to Bettyboy72 is she getting training on how to sustain this?

Hope she's OK, I've heard from a friend she was hilarious in the role, and selfishly, would love for her to extend so I can see her.

Bianca Leigh, Michael Urie, and Tony Macht are joining the UK cast from 7/20-8/1 (along with Giles Terera as Abe through 8/15). Guess the filming rumors are true.

Oh Mary Proshot Announced!

I saw Meg's performance at the Saturday 7/11/26 5 pm matinee. I know she has very little stage acting experience other than standup. Here's my take. I think she did not enunciate well in many areas and if a person is seeing the play for the first time, you might not know what she was saying. Her singing at the end during the cabaret segment is just OK. Her comic delivery was pretty good and she did some line readings and reactions that were very refreshing from many of the other Mary's I've seen. I think once she settles into the role and gets a few more performances under her belt, I think she'll be fine. I will also say that it was nice to see a young woman play this role. She brought a certain "brat" behavior that I enjoyed!

Round 2 of Hannah/Jackie duo. Wonder if Martin Landry is also on tonight?"

Round 3 tonight!! Hope Meg is alright."

I wonder if they got the parasite.

Hannah will go on with tubes and doctors under that skirt!
