| Howard takes a look at Oh, Mary! at the Lyceum Theatre: Say you had managed to pull off a consummate fusion of talent and good fortune to become the darling of the 2023-24 Off-Broadway season with a queer-centric, campy, and raucous comedy that would wind up having a twice-extended, sold-out run in the West Village. And then, suddenly, you have the opportunity to take the whole kit and caboodle uptown to Broadway. Whaddaya do? Do you pull back on some of the gross-out jokes and potty-mouth dialog, bring in some big name actors to lure in audiences willing to fork over as much as $300-plus per ticket, spiffy up the set design, and/or pad the script to stretch out its 80-minute run time? Well, in the case of Cole Escola's Oh, Mary!, opening tonight at the Lyceum Theatre, it's none-of-the-above. You simply lean in on what worked so well downtown and go for the gold on your own terms. |
