Tony Award winner Matthew Broderick has joined the Broadway run of Celebrity Autobiography, which begins performances May 16 at the Shubert Theatre. 

The comedy show has also added several new guest performers, including Katie Couric, actor Anthony Anderson, Jason Alexander, Tiler Peck, and Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer. 

The newly announced cast members join previously revealed performers including show creators Eugene Pack and Dayle Reyfel, and Rita Wilson. Additional members include Scott Adsit, Mario Cantone, Jackie Hoffman, Christopher Jackson, Ben Mankiewicz and  Andrea Martin.

“Celebrity Autobiography” features a rotating lineup of actors, comedians, television personalities, and entertainers reading excerpts from real celebrity memoirs onstage.

Surprise appearances are also expected throughout the run.

A limited digital rush program will also offer $49 tickets on the day of performances, subject to availability. In addition, an in-person rush policy will provide $40 same-day tickets at the box office beginning at 10 a.m. daily and noon on Sundays.
