Meg Stalter’s Dream of Doing
Vulture • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Meg Stalter is making her Broadway debut this summer as Mary Todd Lincoln in the play Oh, Mary! at the Lyceum Theatre, taking over the role from Maya Rudolph on July 6 for a ten-week run.
- Stalter previously gained attention for her comedic scream on Colbert, which fans felt would translate well to a Broadway stage.
- This new role may pause Stalter’s pop music career, as she indicated she would focus on acting once a significant role came along.
- The character of Mary Todd Lincoln is seen as a fitting role for Stalter, who joked about her resemblance to the "prettiest girl in America" of that era.
- While Stalter won’t be using her signature platinum-blonde wig, her natural curls are expected to suit the historical character well.
