  • Tom Hanks and Kelli O'Hara will reunite on Broadway in a Fall 2027 production of "This World of Tomorrow," a new play co-written by Hanks and James Glossman.
  • The production follows a sold-out eight-week engagement at The Shed last year, where the play received mixed to positive reviews.
  • Tony Award winner Kenny Leon will direct the limited engagement, marking Hanks' return to the Broadway stage after more than 14 years.
  • The time-travel romance follows Bert Allenberry, who repeatedly revisits a single day at the 1939 New York World's Fair in Queens hoping to change his future.
  • Producer Brian Anthony Moreland called the transfer an "incredible privilege," though the specific Shubert theater and official dates for the production remain to be announced.
