Meg Stalter is heading to Broadway on July 6, and she will not be arriving alone. Barrett Foa and Ryo Kamibayashi are joining Oh, Mary! at the Lyceum Theatre, the hit play that has spent the past year turning its offstage momentum into a box-office run few Broadway shows can match.
Stalter will play Mary Todd Lincoln beginning July 6, with her run set to continue through September 12. Foa will step in as Mary's Tutor, while Kamibayashi will play Mary's Husband's Assistant through September 13. Phillip James Brannon and Bianca Leigh have also extended their runs and will stay on through December 6, giving the production a staggered handoff rather than a clean reset after Stalter leaves.
The timing matters because Oh, Mary! has become one of Broadway's most visible titles since it premiered in 2024 at Off-Broadway's Lucille Lortel Theatre, transferred later that year, and then won two 2025 Tony Awards. It also became the first show in the Lyceum Theatre's 121-year history to gross more than $1 million in a single week, which helps explain why every cast change in this production lands like a small event of its own.
Stalter's casting carries a personal charge, too. She said she sees herself in Mary and described the role as the prize of a lifetime, crediting Cole Escola's writing for making her feel seen. She also nodded to an insane public breakup in 2018 with Escola even as she said she loves them and thanked them for making her dreams come true. That kind of candor fits a show built around a Mary Todd Lincoln who is less marble monument than madcap, cabaret-obsessed force.
For now, the next stretch is already mapped: Maya Rudolph remains in the title role through July 5, Stalter takes over the next day, and Kamibayashi bows out on September 13. What comes after Stalter's final performance has not yet been announced, which leaves the company with one clear headline and one open seat.
