Katie Holmes is Broadway Bound

Katie Holmes is in final negotiations to make her Broadway debut!

The 29-year-old actress is slated to star in a revival of All My Sons, Arthur Miller’s heartbreaking, post-World War II family drama. She would play a woman who visits the family of her former lover, a missing pilot.

Katie has reportedly committed to participating in a workshop of the play in May but a rep for Katie tells People that she is in discussions but also says, “nothing is set.”

Broadway veterans John Lithgow and Dianne Wiest have already signed onto the play.

first!

It is nice to see that she got over the alien haircuts, maybe Katie had BOZO the clown as her stylist before. Broadway debut, that would be something worth to see, maybe jaw dropping :) . In how many movies have we seen Katie so far? in Mad Money, she was ok….. I liked Katie more in the ”Phone Boot” ( co-starring Colin Farrell). Many make fun of Katie because of Tom, me 2 :) , but I give her credit because she wants to work. On another subject, ANGELINA JOLIE, guys sit down if you are standing, so Angelina’s shock diagnosis is ”gestational diabetes”, I think that the Angelina story is the main one today. According to several newspapers Angelina has been quietly SUFFERING from diabetes. More on http://www.7gfb.com

A talented actress and beautiful.

Best personality out there too.

Katie should do Playboy and provoative roles. She is so hot and sexy but does not flaunt her assets. Make your male fans happy too,Katie.

# 9

Im so relieve that she is not pregnant because I want Katie in more movies. Broadway is a lot of work because she will be working a lot.
Too bad this is not a musical because Katie is a great singer and dancer. I miss Tom especially Suri.

IF GMD lets her do this she will flop big time since she CAN’T act.

oi she cant act in movies,how much more in live!!!bwaahaha

It would be nice if you mentioned WHICH Miller play.

nose job first!

Cant wait to see pretty photos of Holmes soon. Thanks to you Jared.
This young lady is a promising talent, a rising fashion icon, and she is the real deal as in sweet,kind,genuine,humble,warm,classy,graceful,classy and beyond.
Most of all a true loving and devoted woman to her family,her craft and fans.

she’s acting like like an -a list.

Doesn’t that happen when actresses/actors make nothing but bad movies? They go to Broadway instead.

Oh no. There goes the neighborhood!

#15 I agree with what you said about Katie but what are we going to do about her husband?

correct!!

Don’t put down broadway, guys. You have to possess charisma and a larger than life persona to pull off broadway effectively. Katie is beautiful, but seems shy and at the moment is lacking enough confidence to carry off a connection with a live audience. I am not putting her down only speaking as a New Yorker. We’re a tough crowd to please! lol

And the ones that hate are Oscar winners and hotties. Not. Their weekends are spent hating and getting so jealous over this celebs.
Live your lives happily and stop being envious and miserable.

Who gives a rats **** about this ho? She CAN’T act. If she could everybody would believe her relationship was REAL. Tom should have known better than to get a D-list “actress” for his stunt.

So, seriously, she gets to fu*k up an Arthur Miller piece now? Put her in a local dinner theatre or cruise ship theatre….that’s where she belongs.

#8 she can’t do Playboy because her titties sag.

Good for katie, she is such a gracious, humble & very down to earth
young woman with a beautiful & loving family that is always by her
side, Congrats!!!!!

She looks so pretty in this picture. (I know the news is new and the pic is old but it is a good one). I love her hair, dress and make up in this picture. Such a fresh, natural look.

suri is an amazing woman!her words.huhuhuhuhu.

You made my weekend JJ. Go Katie.

New pics…..
puh-lease………

GEE FIRST IT WAS JENNIFER GARNER FROM ALIAS .. AND NOW WE
HAVE KATIE HOLMES FROM DAWSON’S CREEK.. DOING BROADWAY..

WATCH OUT ..BECAUSE TOM IS GOING TO TAKE OVER…
SO THE DIRECTOR OF THAT PLAY BETTER STAND BACK!~!

what next, The White House?

#30 Too funny. Can you picture Tom being the quiet front row seat audience member? Me neither.

Wow, this has bad idea written all over it. Katie doesn’t have the talent to pull off a serious Broadway play. The critics will crucify her.

The Miller play is “All My Sons” as posted in the People article that Jared linked to.

I think it could be cool. Best of luck to her if it pans out.

She is my favorite actress along with Cate Blanchett & Liv Tyler.

bigapplemama @ 03/29/2008 at 6:05 pm

first Broadway then another marathon?

or Broadway then Armani designer?

or next movie then marathon?

didn’t the tabloids just say Suri is soon to be a big sister like Shiloh?

what’s going on? scientology will let her out for all this?

Jennifer Garner and Claire Danes recently made their Broadway debuts, both of them are much better actors than Katie.

Don’t mean to be unkind but she would be WAY over her head here. She doesnt have the acting skill.

John Lithgow and Dianne Wiest are good though.

No. 37, I agree 100%. Someone must have owed Tom a favor. That’s why she is getting a trivial part.

Did anyone notice that after DC, she didn’t get a part unless she showed her bare chest ? That sums up what others think of her acting “skills”. She has to show her private parts to get a part. Hollywood didn’t take her seriously before Tom Cruise. Her “career” was about over anyway.

she doesn’t have a chest to bare. her private parts wouldn’t get her a meal ticket, maybe TC’s would.

I bet there’s some Scientology connection in there somewhere. Heck, that’s the only way she gets her roles.

(I heard her sing on Dawson’s and it strained my ears. She sounds like a little 7 yr old on “Annie”. And the hilarious thing was that it really looked like she thought she was good. So laughable. She’s a joke.)

right… WW2 over and over…
wake me up if there is some news

Sunchick116 @ 03/29/2008 at 8:13 pm

Some people, including me, dont see theater as an achievement. I dont see what the big deal is, I dont like it. So it’s perfectly logical that someone like Tom Cruise would think someone doing theater, is more of a last resort death sentence, than a career highlight.

anonymous @ 03/29/2008 at 8:32 pm

She tries so hard to imitate and copy the career of Nicole Kidman-who did the Blue Room a few years back. It seems like between trying to outdress Nicole (who always looks appropriate for the occasion and not overdressed, wearing 4-5 inch heels to go to lunch or to shop) and trying to mimic her career, she has no real identity of her own other than being the “for show purposes only” “wife” of Cult member TC.

The difference is that when Nicole Kidman went to Broadway , she did it by choice. She was very much in demand in Hollywood.

Katie going to play in theatre after one movie on 3 years, Mad Money that flops, after being canned from Batman and not being able to get anything in Hollywood, it is despair.

Despair as for her last hopeless fan which is reduced to have to fake comment 20 times under different nicknames to make it looks like the poor Katie has admirers. Pitiful. Katie’s popularity is in great distress.

yes, nicole @ 03/29/2008 at 9:01 pm

Nicole, #45, it may be the “church (ha!”) trying to make it appear she has fans also. It’s always so obvious….one post after the other. 99.999999% of the world doesn’t care about “air for brains” Katie.

I guess Tom gave her permission or set this up…..

I would like to see what this thread would look like if Jared would check the IPs and set one name per IP. The 20-25 “fans” comments would be reduced to one pathetic insane fangirl.

Jared did that on the Shiloe versus Suri thread yesterday and it ended up looking like the 50 “suri is the cutest” comments were from one girl (elie I think). You cracked me up Jared.

she obviously has no future in broadway just like in acting. lol.
but seriously, i think she’s trying too hard. trying to fit in the A - list world by marrying tom, becoming bff with beckhams, shopping for expensive things, dressing her little child like a “woman” with designer’s clothes, designing clothes and now broadway? what’s next katie? having your own recording album?

lmafao!!!!

She’s not copying anyone #43. So what is Nicole Kidm,man did a play a a few YEARS ago? It’s just a coincidence. And she does NOT dress anything like Cruise’s ex.

they play is all my sons based from the description provided
i think she will be playing ann

Im *so* happy for her.

This child is as “sexy” as roquefort cheese

thats an old picture when she run away from om to attentd fellow scientoshi-ts travolata play on braodway

Midget may pull the same stutnt at the marathon and this time folks will be wondering , did she really act in that play…:) hahha

She is part of the cult. You cannot trust anything this woman says or does as long as she is part of that cult. Everything she does is decided by the cult FIRST. It is all for PR, nothing else. They instruct her to do things they think will improve her/ Scientology’s image. She is there as a fake role model for Scientology, everything about her image is fake. Her only purpose on earth now is to drag more innocent victims into the cult so that they can lose their money, freedom, self-respect and families.

Do NOT support her or her films, plays, or anything else they tell her to do, as long as she does not DISCONNECT with the cult. Scientology is dangerous. It ruins people’s lives, it brain washes people and destroys them, and they make them disconnect with their families unless the families also join the cult.

She is a part of that, and she chose that life voluntarily when she married Tom Cruise. Do not feel sorry for this living PR robot, feel sorry for the victims of Scientology.

God, please save Arthur Miller!!!

Jessica— Everything you say is true. She is a SERVANT to the cult now. She will do ANYTHING that the cult asks her to. She has no other purpose now except to serve David Miscavige.

bumblebeej @ 03/30/2008 at 9:53 am

#25 - she always has her family by her side? She has her husband and one daughter always by her side. What about her step kids? The ones who call Katie ‘mom’?

What about her father who negotiated the sale of his daughter…ahahhahah….He and his robot wife also show up once in a while to stand by her side when they are ordered by the midget…noney really can make you grown an extra inch or so,…ahhahah

annnymouse @ 03/30/2008 at 11:09 am

She sold out to scientology. Wouldn’t pay a dime to see her in anything. Sorry.

Oh shut up, Jessica! You don’t know her and you couldn’t possibly know all that.

Bravo Katie and God bless!!!!

Love Katie Holmes….it’s good to see her breaking away from film so she can develop more of her talent!

#65 casey, she’s not “breaking away from film” of her own will. It’s the film industry which has broken away from her a couple of years ago. No one in Hollywood wants to take her in their project. She’s even been replaced in the Batman sequels. She was pointed out as the only weak link of BatmanBegins and was replaced by a stronger actress. The weak link of MadMoney too.

“if” Katie ever goes to Bway, it’s because she has no other opportunities.

Lots of luck to Katie…..

Tom is a lucky guy. He’s got a classy and hot wife.

I pity the ugly unhappy souls of trolls.

Wow, she’s well known to be a weak actress - I wonder how she’s going to pull it off live? Critics pan her every time her face appears on screen. Sounds like the rest of the cast is good, it would be a shame to let her bring it down that way.

What an ignorant thing to say #67
