Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, and the Reality of Astral Alignment

by Bobby Finger

You probably know that Tom Hanks is currently performing on Broadway (his debut!) in Nora Ephron’s “Lucky Guy.” But did you know that his wife, singer Rita Wilson, is also performing in NYC?

Wilson has seven shows next week. Hanks has eight. Most of them overlap, but there are three very special days when it will be possible to see them both. One after the other. You can watch Tom Hanks act, then you can walk 12 blocks north and watch Rita Wilson sing.

That’s right, next week is…

Here are your three double feature options:

April 14
3:00PM — Lucky Guy
9:30PM — Rita Wilson

April 17
2:00PM — Lucky Guy
9:30PM — Rita Wilson

April 20
2:00PM — Lucky Guy
8:30PM — Rita Wilson

To best experience the Spring Ritomquinox, cut a small hole in a cardboard box. Place the box over your head and walk to your computer. Visit the 54 Below website to buy tickets for Rita Wilson’s performances, then visit Telecharge to secure your tickets to “Lucky Guy.” Once you have acquired both, stand up, walk outside, and run around in circles while waving your arms and screaming, “RITA! TOM! RITA! TOM! RITA! TOM! RITA! TOM! RITA! TOM! RITA! TOM! RITA! TOM!”

Happy Ritomquinox, everyone.
