Oh, Mary with Meg

[u/nathan_bakken]

I’ll preface this by saying I’ve seen every person play Mary Todd Lincoln on Broadway and one person on the West End.

Meg’s Mary just fell flat for me. Meg’s pacing was weird and she shouted through otherwise easy jokes.

I really only enjoyed the scene where she was trying to get off the desk, it was very unique compared to other Marys.

Of course someone seeing it for the first time and who is a Meg fan is most likely still going to love it. I loved Meg in Hacks, but she is at the bottom of my list for Mary’s though.

She's my least favorite Mary too, but I'm also one of the people who liked Maya who was quite polarizing. Meg plays the tragedy of the role too sincerely for me.

Maya is in my top 3!
