Rita Wilson stepped into the Broadway spotlight for the opening of Celebrity Autobiography, and husband Tom Hanks was there applauding her — the night fizzed with famous faces and reunion energy. Read on to discover the full story!
The couple attended the May 18, 2026 premiere in New York, where Wilson stars in and co-produces the comedy at the Shubert Theatre. Creator Eugene Pack — who, with Dayle Reyfel, developed and directed the show — joined Wilson onstage. The concept: a rotating roster of celebrities perform excerpts from other stars' autobiographies.
The audience and afterparty at Redeye Grill included Gayle King, Andrea Martin, Nia Vardalos, Christy Turlington, Ed Burns, Bryan Cranston and even Steven Spielberg with Kate Capshaw. Hanks gave Wilson a standing ovation during curtain call as friends and fellow performers celebrated.
