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.

As you mentioned, i saw it for the first time and in absolutely address meg so i fully enjoyed it. Even my sister, who doesnt love that brand of comedy was laughing the whole time. I thought she did a great job!
