Bowen Yang wants Cher to see Oh Mary
The magic of theatre and the star power of television often intersect in ways that captivate audiences. This week, the spotlight shines on the transition from stage to screen, centered around a beloved production and an incredible actor.
The journey began long before the curtain rose on Broadway. Vogue has long admired Cole Escola’s production of “Oh, Mary!”, recognizing its timeless charm and emotional depth. This enduring appreciation set the stage for a new, exciting chapter in the story.
Now, the production is evolving with new talent, bringing fresh energy to the narrative. With ten Marys now on stage, the story is taking on new dimensions, and a phenomenal actor has stepped into the lead role of Mary Todd Lincoln: Bowen Yang.
Yang’s powerful portrayal brings a compelling new perspective to the character, adding depth and resonance to the familiar story. To discuss this transformative experience and the production’s evolution, Bowen Yang recently stopped by the studio to chat about the project for this Tuesday’s episode of “The Run-Through.”
