Broadway star and noted drag queen Jinxx Monsoon will join the Tony Award-winning comedy “Oh, Mary!,” now at the Lyceum Theatre, as Mary Todd Lincoln from August 4 until September 27. She will succeed Tituss Burgess, who returns to the role on June 23, replacing current star and playwright Cole Escola.

The show, which is directed by Sam Pinkeleton, has been extended and is now on sale through January 4, 2026. Original cast members Conrad Ricamora, James Scully, Bianca Leigh, and Tony Macht will remain with the show through August 2. No other new casting has been announced.

Monsoon is the first and only drag queen to win “RuPaul’s Drag Race” twice. She is currently starring on Broadway as Ruth in “Pirates: The Penzance Musical.” Her other musical theater credits include Matron "Mama" Morton in “Chicago” and Audrey in the Off-Broadway revival of “Little Shop of Horrors.” She also appeared recently at Carnegie Hall and has toured across the country with her collaborator Ben DeLaCreme in the “The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show.”
