What happened

“Las Culturistas” just got a little more cultured.

Why it matters

Show co-host and “SNL” legend Bowen Yang was just announced as the next lead in Broadway’s Tony Award-winning comedy “Oh, Mary!” Yang, 35, will succeed “Hacks” star and comedian Meg Stalter as the titular Mary Todd Lincoln.

Common ground

“My friendship with Cole [Escola, the show’s creator and original “Mary”] has brought me many places over the years: late-night pizzerias, cross-borough social-distance walks, a tough production of ‘Les Misérables’ sung in Dutch,” Yang said in a statement.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Glittering Generalities: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
