SNL’s Bowen Yang to Star in ‘Oh, Mary!’ on Broadway for 12-Week Limited Run

Bowen Yang is heading to Broadway!

The 35-year-old actor, best known for his seven season run on Saturday Night Live, will play the role of Mary Todd Lincoln in the hit Broadway show Oh, Mary! for a limited 12-week engagement.

While this is Bowen‘s Broadway debut, he’s actually a Tony Award nominee already as he was a producer on the show Titanique, which was nominated for Best Musical earlier this year.

Bowen will take over the role from Hacks actress Meg Stalter, who is performing in the play through September 12. He will begin his run on Tuesday, September 15 and will be on Broadway through Sunday, December 6.

The Tony-winning play was written by Cole Escola, who won the award for Best Actor in a Play for their work as Mary.

“My friendship with Cole has brought me many places over the years: late-night pizzerias, cross-borough social-distance walks, a tough production of Les Misérables sung in Dutch,” Bowen said in a statement. “But being part of their deranged and profound masterpiece, Oh, Mary! is my favorite one by far. I will spend the rest of my life thanking them for the best Broadway debut a cis gay guy with limited singing ability could ask for.”
