"Conrad Ricamora has had a bumper year. The actor, who became known globally as one half of the 2010s most-shipped gay couple 'Coliver' in ABC's How To Get Away With Murder (Ricamora as bashful IT maven Oliver, Jack Falahee as libidinous law student Connor), has spent much of the past 18 months playing a president on stage. Not just any president; president Abraham Lincoln."
"And not just any stage; on Broadway, in Cole Escola's farce , the buzziest show of 2025, now with a rotating cast so starry it would make the West End's 2:22 green with envy. Oh, and this summer? He spent it filming the sequel to a little-known Meryl Streep comedy by the name of The Devil Wears Prada. "Oh, gosh. It's been so crazy. I'm still processing it," Ricamora smiles,"
"Ricamora bagged his first Tony award nomination. He was a "hoot" in Oh, Mary! as the long-suffering, closeted husband to the booze-bingeing has-been cabaret star Mary Todd Lincoln. It was a historic Tony season: Escola was the first non-binary person to win Best Actor in a Play; Ricamora only the second/third ever Asian-American man to get a nom for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play (the accolade was won by Chinese-American actor Francis Jue, who joined Ricamora in the historic feat)."
Conrad Ricamora spent much of the past 18 months portraying Abraham Lincoln on Broadway in Cole Escola's farce, which became one of 2025's buzziest shows with a rotating starry cast. He filmed the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada over the summer. Ricamora received a Tony nomination for his featured role as the long-suffering, closeted husband in Oh, Mary!. The 2025 Tonys produced historic wins for Asian-American performers, including Francis Jue and Darren Criss. Ricamora and fellow Asian-American actors expressed upset when producers later cast white actor Andrew Barth Feldman in a role tied to an Asian-American winner.
