After the collision of technology and desire, nostalgia and history, what life will Bert choose as his own?

That's the central question at the heart of Tom Hanks and James Glossman's gorgeous and moving new play. *This World of Tomorrow* is an epic but intimate love story that, while set in the future, remains timeless. Playing at The Shed's Griffin Theater starting this October, *This World of Tomorrow* is a theatrical and sweeping story of a scientist from the future longing to return to the past to chart his present day. 

"I'm excited to collaborate with the remarkable Tom Hanks on his and James Glossman's new play at The Shed this fall," said director Kenny Leon in a statement. "It will be a joy to experience Tom leading the cast on stage in this time-traveling adventure of the limitless power of love and the distance one is willing to go for it."

## What to watch for

- Kenny Leon is an acclaimed stage director but also earned fame for his TV work: he is a three-time Emmy Award nominee, including for *Hairspray Live!*.
- In a statement, Tom Hanks said, "To explore the themes of love and yearning, and the struggles of today as we carry with us the eternal memories of the past, in such a place as The Shed, strikes me as a one-of-a-kind experience not unlike the World’s Fair of 1939." 
- This new play was a special commission directly from The Shed: the Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Commissioning Fund and the Shed Commissioners funded its creation.
- Known for his screen work, Hanks also made his Broadway debut in 2013's *Lucky Guy*, earning a Tony Award for his performance.

Written by and starring Tom Hanks, *This World of Tomorrow* is a time-traveling quest for true love.

See Academy Award winner Tom Hanks back on stage in New York for the first time in more than a decade. *This World of Tomorrow* plays at The Shed for a limited run starting in October. A new play about a time-traveling quest for true love, *This World of Tomorrow* is written by Hanks (based on his short stories) and James Glossman and directed by Tony Award winner Kenny Leon (*Fences*).

See *This World of Tomorrow* off Broadway to see Hanks in this dynamic new love story. A two-time Oscar winner known for his work in *Sleepless in Seattle, Big, Apollo 13, The Polar Express,* and *Forrest Gump*, Hanks plays Bert Allenberry, a scientist longing for the past. The story is set in the future at the end of the 21st century, when Bert embarks on a time-traveling quest for true love. However, on his journeys he keeps returning — again, and again, and again — to one special day at the 1939 New York World’s Fair in Queens. 

“To explore the themes of love and yearning, and the struggles of today as we carry with us the eternal memories of the past, in such a place as The Shed, strikes me as a one-of-a-kind experience not unlike the World’s Fair of 1939,” says Hanks in a statement.

"It will be a joy to experience Tom leading the cast on stage in this time-traveling adventure of the limitless power of love and the distance one is willing to go for it," Leon added.

As he hops across time and discovers many paths forward, what journey will Bert choose for himself? Find out in this story that blends technology and desire, nostalgia and history.

Kelli O'Hara stars in [*This World of Tomorrow*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/44428-this-world-of-tomorrow) off Broadway at [The Shed](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/venues/the-griffin-theater-at-the-shed) from October 30 to December 21, 2025, and in [*Fallen Angels*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/43904-fallen-angels-on-broadway) on Broadway at the [Todd Haimes Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/venues/todd-haimes-theatre) in spring 2026.

Kelli Christine O'Hara&nbsp;was born on April 16, 1976&nbsp;in Elk City, Oklahoma and is a Tony Award-winning actress. Finally winning a Tony Award in 2015 for her performance as Anna Leonowens in the Lincoln Center Theater revival of&nbsp;The King and I, she has&nbsp;earned six additional&nbsp;nominations throughout her career for her roles in&nbsp;The Bridges of Madison County,&nbsp;Nice Work If You Can Get It,&nbsp;South Pacific,&nbsp;The Pajama Game,&nbsp;The Light in the Piazza,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Kiss Me, Kate!

O'Hara attended&nbsp;Deer Creek High School and went on to study music, graduating with a bachelor's degree in&nbsp;vocal performance and opera from Oklahoma City University. She was taught by voice teacher Florence Birdwell, who had also previously tutored another Broadway veteran: <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/kristin-chenoweth">Kristin Chenoweth</a>.

Her first notable professional job was in the ensemble of the 1999 national tour of&nbsp;Jekyll &amp; Hyde, which would lead to her joining the Broadway company in June 2000 and making her Broadway debut. She remained with the production until its final performance on January 7, 2001. O'Hara quickly booked her next Broadway credit as&nbsp;Young Hattie in the Broadway revival of&nbsp;Follies&nbsp;from March 2001, eventually assuming&nbsp;the role of Young Phyllis. She went on to appear as Susan in the Broadway premiere of&nbsp;Sweet Smell of Success&nbsp;in spring 2002 and made her Off-Broadway debut as Albertine&nbsp;for the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/playwrights-horizons">Playwrights Horizons</a> production of&nbsp;My Life with Albertine in spring 2003. The next year, she was cast as&nbsp;Lucy Westenra in the Broadway premiere of&nbsp;Dracula, the Musical, which ran from July 30, 2004&nbsp;to January 2, 2005.

O'Hara's career on stage reached new heights following her performance as&nbsp;Clara Johnson in the Lincoln Center Theater production of&nbsp;The Light in the Piazza. She played the role from&nbsp;March 17 through December 4, 2005&nbsp;and earned her first Tony Award nomination. She received Tony Award nominations for all of her subsequent&nbsp;appearances on&nbsp;Broadway until 2016. Her résumé includes the roles of&nbsp;Babe Williams in the 2006 revival of&nbsp;The Pajama Game,&nbsp;Ensign Nellie Forbush in the Lincoln Center Theater revival of&nbsp;South Pacific,&nbsp;Billie Bendix in the 2012 premiere of&nbsp;Nice Work If You Can Get It&nbsp;(also earning a Grammy Award nomination for Best Musical Theater Album&nbsp;in 2013), and&nbsp;Francesca in the 2014 premiere of&nbsp;The Bridges of Madison County. At that point in her career, O'Hara was a five-time Tony Award nominee, and she also found time to appear off Broadway as Regan in <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/public-theater">The Public Theater's</a> 2011 revival of&nbsp;King Lear. She also&nbsp;returned to Playwrights Horizons as&nbsp;Cathy Whitaker in 2013's&nbsp;Far From Heaven.

Her various concert stagings include leading roles in Sunday in the Park with George,&nbsp;My Fair Lady,&nbsp;Bells Are Ringing,&nbsp;She Loves Me, and&nbsp;Brigadoon, and her <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/the-metropolitan-opera">Metropolitan Opera</a> credits include&nbsp;The Merry Widow&nbsp;in 2014 and&nbsp;Così fan tutte&nbsp;in 2018.

She finally won a&nbsp;Tony Award in 2015 for her widely acclaimed performance as Anna Leonowens in the Lincoln Center Theater revival of&nbsp;The King and I, starring in the production from&nbsp;March 12, 2015 to April 17, 2016. She would reprise the role and make&nbsp;her West End debut in&nbsp;The King and I&nbsp;at the London Palladium from June to September 2018, with that production being broadcast to cinemas worldwide in November 2018.

Although primarily known for her career on the Broadway stage, O'Hara has also appeared in numerous films and television series, including the role of Mrs. Darling in NBC's live televised musical Peter Pan Live!&nbsp;and a 2018&nbsp;Emmy Award-nominated performance as&nbsp;Katie Bonner in The Accidental Wolf. Other notable screen credits include Sex and the City 2,&nbsp;Numb3rs,&nbsp;13 Reasons Why,&nbsp;Blue Bloods,&nbsp;and Masters of Sex. She also starred in the popular Live from Lincoln Center&nbsp;series twice —&nbsp;as&nbsp;Nellie Forbush in&nbsp;South Pacific&nbsp;in 2010 and as&nbsp;Julie Jordan in&nbsp;Carousel&nbsp;in 2013.

Following Roundabout Theatre Company's critically acclaimed 2016 benefit concert of the classic Cole Porter musical&nbsp;Kiss Me, Kate!, O'Hara&nbsp;reprised&nbsp;the dual roles of Kate and&nbsp;Lilli Vanessi in a fully staged Broadway revival at <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/studio-54">Studio 54</a> from&nbsp;February 14 through June 30, 2019, earning yet another Tony Award nomination.

Days of Wine and Roses on Broadway - NYC [27504]

Days of Wine and Roses on Broadway

Days of Wine and Roses on Broadway - NYC Product Media

"They are not long, the days of wine and roses," wrote Ernest Dowson in an 1896 poem that later lent the phrase to a [1958 teleplay, 1962 film](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/guide-to-the-days-of-wine-and-roses-musical-on-broadway), and now, their [Broadway musical adaptation](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/27504-days-of-wine-and-roses-tickets). Translation: Life's best times are fleeting. A case in point is the 16-week stint when the talents of actors [Kelli O'Hara](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/kelli-ohara) and [Brian d'Arcy James](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/brian-darcy-james) (both multi-Tony nominees giving career-best performances) and writers Adam Guettel and Craig Lucas (premiering their first new Broadway show since 2005's *The Light in the Piazza*) are all on one stage.

Since its Off-Broadway premiere in 2023, the *Days of Wine and Roses* musical, featuring largely the [same company](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/kelli-ohara-and-brian-darcy-james-team-up-in-days-of-wine-and-roses), has aged like, well, wine. The story begins light and sweet before quickly revealing heavier notes: Kirsten loves Joe; Joe loves Kirsten. Joe also loves liquor. Before long, former teetotaler Kirsten loves liquor, too, in part because she grows to believe Joe will only love her if she does.

The gut-wrenching tragedy of *Days of Wine and Roses* is watching that dynamic slowly reverse: When Joe finally manages to claw his way up onto the wagon, Kirsten seeks to pull him back down to drown with her at the bottom of the bottle.

Water imagery is constant in the musical, showing how completely drink engulfs Joe and Kirsten's lives. (Notably, the house of Kirsten's father, a reliably sobering presence as played by Byron Jennings, is the one place absent of the motif — the couple and their daughter, Lila, regularly visit there as a sort of rehab.) No metaphor is better than that of the standout song "As the Water Loves the Stone," a sweet ballad until you remember that the caress of water erodes stone. The implication is clear: Joe and Kirsten are eating away at each other drop by drop.

In less skilled hands, these flawed characters could push the audience away or else flatten into scapegoats. But James and O'Hara don't let that happen for a second. O'Hara's Kirsten contains multitudes beneath a sheltered, sunny air, including a zeal for what her favorite books describe as "the human desire penetrate the unknown" — like the world of booze. James's Joe is magnetic such that when he trades his drunken aggressiveness for tenderness, we immediately root for him again. James and O'Hara's sparkling chemistry is effortless, entirely convincing us of their deep love even in their darkest moments — and those moments become all the more arresting as a result.

The perfect pair also saves the show from its weak spots; namely, Guettel's lyrics that wash over the ears and leave little aftertaste, more than once failing to convince that they express emotions big enough for song. As a result, though, I was more closely attuned to Lucas's book, economical but quietly well-crafted, and Guettel's score, lilting and (in keeping with the water theme) regularly nautical.

While *Days* certainly doesn't go down easy, it's energizing to see a Broadway show, including director Michael Greif, handle a mature theme like alcoholism with precision and compassion. Cheers to that.
