Jinkx Monsoon is set to make her London West End debut this summer by starring as Mary Todd Lincoln in “Oh, Mary!” at Trafalgar Theatre. The production runs for six weeks, from 17 August to 26 September, with Monsoon taking over the role for the West End engagement. Both outlets report that Monsoon previously played Mary Todd Lincoln on Broadway, and that she is a two-time winner of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” noted as the first and only drag queen to win the show twice. PinkNews also reports that the role has been performed in the lead-up by Catherine Tate and that the show’s creator is Cole Escola, indicating they are associated with the production and/or prior casting. Monsoon’s casting brings a performer with established mainstream and stage credentials, and the West End schedule places her run across late summer into September. The reports do not cite any changes to the show’s creative team beyond identifying Monsoon’s appointment and the venue and dates for the West End engagement.
