Katie Holmes is Broadway Bound

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.

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.

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

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.

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!!!!
