The Pacific Northwest’s very own Jinkx Monsoon, who graduated from the Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, is about to take over in the lead role of Mary Todd Lincoln in the award winning play, Oh, Mary!
I had the joy of reviewing the very first performance of Oh, Mary! after the Tony Awards. You can read my review here.
Jinkx has performed locally at The 5th Avenue Theatre (Rent and Hairspray) and at Seattle Theatre Group’s Moore Theatre (Hedwig and the Angry Inch), as well as at numerous other productions. Jinkx made her Broadway debut in the musical, Chicago, in 2023.
The video from MCC Theater shows Jinkx performing as the company of Les Misérables in the classic song, “One Day More.”
Jinkx performs in Oh, Mary! for 8 weeks starting on August 4. Tickets are available on the Oh, Mary! website.
