Mary Todd Lincoln Reincarnated as Chaotic Comedian Meg Stalter in Broadway Hijack
The Civil War is finally funny as Meg Stalter brings her signature brand of unhinged energy to a historical hoop skirt.

History teachers everywhere are sobbing into their textbooks because Meg Stalter has officially conquered Broadway as the most fabulous Mary Todd Lincoln to ever walk the boards. At the opening night of 'Oh, Mary!', the theater was so packed with raw chaotic energy that the ghost of Abraham Lincoln was seen trying to get a selfie in the lobby.
Looking like the absolute queen of the lounge act, Meg traded her 'Hacks' pajamas for some high-society 1860s vibes, and frankly, we are here for the historical inaccuracy. She’s not just playing the First Lady; she’s playing the version of the First Lady who definitely has a secret TikTok and keeps a flask in her bonnet.
To make matters even more iconic, the legendary Jean Smart showed up to support her TV daughter. Rumor has it Jean was seen teaching the ushers how to properly fan a diva during an intermission. The pair looked so regal that the tourists in Times Square actually thought they were witnessing the literal founding of America by two women in couture.
Now that Meg has conquered the 19th century, we expect her to pivot to a one-woman show about the invention of the toaster. Until then, we’ll be wearing our petticoats to the club in her honor.
