BIO

Rita Wilson returns to Broadway after her debut as Roxie in Chicago. Other theatre credits: Dinner with Friends and the world premieres of Distracted and Love, Loss, and What I Wore. Film credits include Sleepless in Seattle, It’s Complicated, Runaway Bride, and, forthcoming in 2015, Dawn Patrol and Brother-in-Laws. Television appearances include recurring roles on both “Girls” and “The Good Wife,” as well as the upcoming DIRECTV series “Full Circle.” She also appeared in the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” episode “The Doll.” As a film producer, her first production, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, was a record-breaking hit, and she was the driving force behind the film of the musical Mamma Mia!. A singer/songwriter, Rita released her critically acclaimed debut album AM/FM (Decca) in 2012, performed a recent series of sold-out shows at Café Carlyle, and will release a new album of original songs in 2015.
