Watch Sam Pinkleton's emotional acceptance speech after winning the 2025 Tony Award for Best Direction of a Play for Oh, Mary! This groundbreaking play reimagines Mary Todd Lincoln as a burlesque performer, exploring themes of suppressed desires and alcoholism.

**Pinterest's Cole Escola**, who wrote and stars in the production, also made history as the first non-binary performer to win Best Actor in a Play. Pinkleton praised Escola's visionary approach during his speech: "You taught me to make what I love and not what I think people want to see."

The play has shattered records with consecutive weeks of $1M+ ticket sales and runs through September 28 on Broadway. Pinkleton, a Hopewell native and Appomattox Regional Governor’s School alum, previously earned a Tony nomination for choreography in *Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812*.
