Everyone's favorite 30 Rock star, Jane Krakowski, will be taking the stage at the Lyceum Theatre for a limited engagement to play the role of Mary Todd Lincoln in Cole Escola's hit Broadway show, Oh, Mary! The news was announced on the show's official social media pages with the actress in full Mary garb and the famous bratty pin curls.

"Beginning October 14, Tony, Olivier, and Critics' Choice Award-winning actress Jane Krakowski (30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) will take over the role of Mary Todd Lincoln for a limited eight-week engagement through December 7, 2025," the caption reads.

The gays could barely keep their heads straight in the comments section as the news reverberated through social media. "I just fell to my knees," Evan Ross Katz commented on the official announcement post on Instagram. "How is every Mary casting so perfect," someone else wrote.

Currently, the pin curls are donned by Broadway breakout and RuPaul's Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon, who started in August and is set to play the role until the end of the month with her fellow newcomers—Kumail Nanjiani and Michael Urie. When she exits stage left, one of the company members named Hannah Solow will take over from September 30 through Sunday, October 12 and then Krakowski will take the stage.
