Jinkx Monsoon will make her London West End debut this summer, stepping into the role of Mary Todd Lincoln in “Oh, Mary!” at Trafalgar Theatre for a six-week run from Aug. 17 to Sept. 26.

Monsoon, the first and only drag queen to win “RuPaul’s Drag Race” twice, previously played the role on Broadway, where her eight-week engagement sold out, with a subsequent encore run earning praise. The booking at Trafalgar marks her first appearance on a West End stage.
