Conrad Ricamora earned his first Tony Award nomination for playing Abraham Lincoln in Cole Escola’s comedy, “Oh, Mary!”
Ricamora is also known as Oliver on television’s “How to Get Away with Murder” and Ninoy Aquino in “Here Lies Love” Off-Broadway, a role he reprised 10 years later in the Broadway production. He also starred as Lun Tha in the 2015 revival of “The King and I” and David Henry Hwang and Jeanine Tesori’s “Soft Power.”
In this chat, Ricamora confides why “Oh, Mary!” gave him nightmares early on, what he relishes about playing Lincoln and what onstage moment he most looks forward to every night.
