Impresario Daniel Frohman opened the Lyceum in 1903, calling it the New Lyceum to distinguish it from the old one he once operated on the now-renamed Fourth Avenue. Designed by architects Herts and Tallant, the theatre stands today at 149 W. 45th Street.

Oh, Mary! is a dark comedy about a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln鈥檚 assassination. Unrequited yearning, alcoholism, and suppressed desires abound in this 80-minute one-act play that finally examines the forgotten life and dreams of Mrs. Lincoln, through the lens of an idiot (playwright Cole Escola).
Declared 鈥渙ne of the best comedies in years鈥� by The New York Times, Oh, Mary! has received 5 Tony Award nominations for Best Play, Best Actor in a Play (Cole Escola), Best Featured Actor in a Play (Conrad Ricamora), Best Costume Design of a Play (Holly Pierson), and Best Direction of a Play (Sam Pinkleton).
