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).
Oh, Mary! received Tony Awards for Best Leading Actor in a Play (Cole Escola) and Best Direction of a Play (Sam Pinkleton), Drama League Awards for Outstanding Play and Outstanding Direction of a Play, as well as a special citation from the New York Drama Critics鈥� Circle. It was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
