Meg Stalter Returns to Broadway's 'Oh, Mary!' Stage

Comedian Meg Stalter returned to the Broadway stage on Friday evening, resuming her role as Mary Todd Lincoln in Cole Escola's play "Oh, Mary!". Stalter had been absent for a week due to bronchitis, missing several performances.

Prior to the Friday show, Stalter shared an Instagram Story featuring a photo of herself in her dressing room. The image was accompanied by a handwritten note, which she silently presented to fans gathered at the stage door. The note explained her absence, stating, "I've been sick with bronchitis and had to take a week off. So sorry! I'm back now and so excited to perform for you all tonight! Thank you for your understanding and support."

Stalter's return marks her continuation in the limited engagement production, which has garnered significant attention. The play, written by and starring Cole Escola, features Stalter in a prominent supporting role. Her performance has been a key element of the show's critical reception and audience engagement.

The production of "Oh, Mary!" is running at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. Stalter's absence had led to understudies stepping into the role, but her reappearance signifies a return to the intended cast for the remainder of the run. The play is scheduled to conclude its limited engagement on April 28, 2024.
