Over the past year, there has been less than half a dozen actors portraying the lead role of Mary Todd Lincoln in the hit play “Oh, Mary!” with some of them making return engagements –Cole Escola won the Tony for their performance, Jinkx Monsoon sold out the house; but Maya Rudolph brought in the highest numbers at the box office of the show’s entire run.
While they have not impact on last week’s box office numbers; it will be interesting to see how the Tony Award nominations – which were released this morning – will effect the next few weeks. “Schmigadoon!” and “The Lost Boys” topped the list of nominees with 12 each.
