Sam Pinkleton first staged Cole Escola’s “Oh, Mary!” at Off-Broadway’s Lucille Lortel Theatre and then transferred that production to Broadway. The production has earned five Tony Award nominations, including one for Best Play and one for Pinkleton’s direction.
Pinkleton’s nomination marks his second nod overall — having been previously recognized for his choreography of “Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812.” But “Oh, Mary!” is Pinkleton’s Main Stem directorial debut.
Here, Pinkleton tells host Ruthie Fierberg, executive editor of Broadway News, where he was when he found out “Oh, Mary!” was a Pulitzer Prize finalist, how much of himself he put into the play and the key to making great art.
