If you don’t want it on Page Six, don’t do it!
Michelle Obama admitted in a new interview that she feared she would land on The Post’s famous gossip section after she snuck into a performance of “Oh, Mary!” on Broadway.
“A lot of times I sneak in afterwards, so I don’t think that people knew I was there … I didn’t know fully what ‘Oh, Mary!’ was,” she said on Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang’s “Las Culturistas” podcast Wednesday.
“Scene one, and I am cracking up, but feeling like, ‘Oh my God, if people see me laughing, it’s gonna be on Page Six,’” the former first lady, 61, admitted. “I loved it.”
Obama also noted that she was “so happy” that the dark comedy — which follows Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination — won two Tony awards earlier this month: one for best leading actor in a play for Cole Escola and best direction of a play for Sam Pinkleton.
“Just out of your mind — it’s like, ‘Who thought of this? What’s going on inside that head?’ The retelling of history in this very interesting but powerful way. I loved it, loved it,” she shared.
Last November, the “Becoming” author was one of many celebs who went to see the stage play.
Though her visit was low-key, the Broadway show took to X to send the mom of two a special greeting after receiving a text about her appearance.
Michelle, who shares daughters Malia, 26, and Sasha, 24, with husband Barack Obama, seems to be a fan of Page Six, as she has previously referenced the gossip column.
In March, the “Waffles + Mochi” alum revealed that she feared her daughters would make it into The Post’s famed paper when they lived in the White House during Barack’s presidency.
“I wanted to give my girls enough rope to live and be normal teenagers, but I was also worrying about them turning up on Page Six because they were doing what normal kids would do,” she admitted on Kylie Kelce’s “Not Gonna Lie” podcast at the time.
Malia and Sasha were only 10 and 7 years old, respectively, when Barack, 63, was elected president of the United States in 2008.
Because the politician served two terms, the siblings were under a microscope for eight years.
Michelle said on the podcast that her daughters’ experience in the White House was different from that of other former first children because of the growing presence of social media — and having “cameras everywhere.”
The post Michelle Obama feared ‘Oh, Mary!’ antics would land her a spot in Page Six appeared first on Page Six.
