Another extension after this probably falls in Cole taking a hiatus. I'd have to assume they'll do whatever they can to stunt cast the role to keep it running. And then bring back Cole in the Spring.

It would be wise if that happens to keep both Cole and the production fresh in memory come Tony nomination time.

Does anyone know if/when this is supposed to be? I just bought tickets for 11/22/24 and really want to see Cole.

Yes. You’ll be in a theater or quickly running to a theater to make it on time for nearly 8 hours.

It’s doable, if you don’t want to eat or use a bathroom. It’s a bit more than 8 blocks (through crowds) from the Broadway to the Lyceum, and Gatsby tends to run until past 4:30, so that’s the tightest turnaround.

Thanks for the advice.  Maybe I'll see if I can get a catheter installed before my trip. :p

Meanwhile:

"For now, Escola isn’t ready to part ways with Mrs. Lincoln. “I want to go to London and let them decide if I am any good or not,” they crack. “New York is too soft.”"

This is news I had been waiting for.  I have now been able to add it to our next trip so I'm chuffed about that.

I'm doing something similar in Oct. 

- Seeing talkback session with Amy Sedaris/Bridgett Everett as part of the New Yorker Fest at 2. (I was going to see Once Upon a Mattress at 2) 

- Oh, Mary! At 5 (I LOVE this showtime and it allows for more shows in one day!) 

- Death Becomes Her at 8!

How can one apply for TDF Passport? They get all the great deals. Are you a student?

I caught yesterday's Thursday matinee and Martin Landry was also on and I prefer him over Conrad.  Martin is actually a little more flamboyant with his hand gestures...

I imagine Conrad is even more campy and flamboyant in moments. Also think John Mulaney could be an interesting choice for Mary."

Cole's hiatus would be after the January extension. If they're able to get a two month replacement, they'll extend again, probably well into June. I believe they're also looking into a second cover for Cole due to the two upcoming absences and tentative hiatus.

How about Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman as Mary and Lincoln for the hiatus?

I was disappointed by Conrad. Very one note — loud. He was the weak link in the cast IMHO.

Finally saw this uptown after liking it off bway months ago.

It's just so funny!  My favorite part is the bit with the book between Mary and Booth!

I watched Oh Mary last night (Monday evening) and Conrad was also out. Martin Landry performed as Mary's Husband and I agree he did a great job! I thought Conrad had better hip action during the steam dialogue with his assistant but overall thought Landry did a great job! He's very tall and you can see his fingers from all the way up in the balcony.

A few members of Cole's family was in the audience and that was a treat.

Saw this last night with a friend (very liberal) and my MIL (very conservative). We all laughed hysterically throughout the show. And hard agree with everyone that said the last 10-15 mins was the best ever. Worth the $150 tix for such a "small" play.
