The Lowdown
The premise is simple: Mary Todd Lincoln is a desperate, booze-soaked cabaret performer suffocating in a marriage to a man who thinks his own speeches are profound. It is hysterical, deeply cynical, and entirely unhinged. Escola manages to make historical misery feel like a night out in a basement bar in the East Village. With a revolving door of high-wattage replacements like Jinkx Monsoon and Maya Rudolph, the production stays fresh enough to justify the hype. It earned its Tonys and its Pulitzer nod by being sharp enough to cut through the usual Broadway sentimentality. Skip the overpriced drinks and just go for the chaos.

Our verdict
Cole Escola plays Mary Todd Lincoln as a boozy cabaret wannabe and won the Tony for Best Play doing it. Eighty minutes of dizzy, filthy, breakneck farce — the kind that ambushes you into laughing out loud. A few critics found the script thin; everyone else couldn't breathe. Go in knowing it's gleefully stupid on purpose, and you'll have the best dumb night of your year.
