"Ever since I was a little girl, I have dreamed of being Cole Escola. is the funniest play I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of plays, you'd be surprised. It's such an honor to play the role of Mary, especially after so many iconic Marys have come before me. So making my Broadway debut in the role of a lifetime-as a miserable, suffocated, alcoholic woman-is a real dream come true."
Maya Rudolph, known for her work on Saturday Night Live, will join the Broadway production of a comedic play about Mary Todd Lincoln. The role has been performed by ten actors across U.S. and U.K. productions, including Betty Gilpin, Tituss Burgess, Jane Krakowski, and John Cameron Mitchell. Rudolph expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity, calling it a dream role and praising the play as the funniest she has seen. The production humorously portrays Mary Todd Lincoln as a miserable, suffocated, alcoholic woman. The play's loose approach to American history has contributed to its success internationally, with U.K. productions featuring Mason Alexander Park and Catherine Tate.
