Moi, Mary?Tony winner Cole Escola appeared on the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast, where they discussed Amy Sedaris, wigs, and a potential Oh, Mary!' movie.Poehler and Escola spent the better part of an hour talking about Escola's successful Broadway play, Oh, Mary!, before asking who they would like to see star in a movie version of the play.Oh, Mary! is a comedic play about wannabe-cabaret-performer Mary Todd Lincoln in the days leading up to Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Escola originated the role of Mary Todd and wrote the play.While Escola said that if there are any talks about making the play into a movie, they are "out of it," they were happy to answer Poehler's question about who they'd like to see star in it.After Poehler told Escola that Amy Sedaris suggested Oscar-winner Linda Hunt (to which Escola agreed), they offered some of their own suggestions."Cherry Jones could do it. She can do anything. She could play Lincoln, too; that would be really chilling," Escola said. "Or a Muppet. Miss Piggy as Mary Todd Lincoln, and then everyone else is human.""Actually, cut this, I'm gonna be talking to Disney tomorrow," they joked.Poehler also asked if Escola could cast a current politician in the role, whom they'd want. Escola quickly answered."Lindsay Graham. He'd probably learn a lot about himself. He might, like, wake up, like, 'Oh my god,'" Escola said, launching into an impression of the South Carolina senator."Oh my god, I've been so bad! I'm sure sorry, everybody," they said with a southern drawl. "You know, playing this part has taught me that it's not okay to judge, lest you be judged One of you men better not spank me. And I better not pay you to do it!"Escola made history in 2025 when they won the Tony for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play for Oh, Mary! They became the third nonbinary actor to win a Tony, following Alex Newell and J. Harrison Ghee, who won in 2023.
