OlderKatie Holmes Bumps Mario Lopez
The curtain will go up Sept. 18 for previews of Katie Holmes‘ Broadway debut, but not before a little controversy.
Katie‘ show, All My Sons needed a bigger theater for their run, so Mario Lopez’s A Chorus Line is getting booted from the theater they are currently showing in.
“Katie wouldn’t sign a long-term agreement with her show, which is why it’s the limited run that it is. They had to figure out how to make more money with the time they had with her,” said a source told MSNBC.
The solution: Move to a musical theater. “Musical theaters have more seats than a traditional playhouse, so they can sell more tickets each week,” the source said. “That’s how the show ended up at the Schoenfeld Theater (where “Chorus Line” runs). Because of the All My Sons rehearsal schedule, they had to cut Mario Lopez’s run in A Chorus Line.
“[Mario] might be People’s hottest bachelor, but he’s pissed,” said the source. “Let’s face it, he doesn’t have much going on right now.”
The production, which also stars John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest and Patrick Wilson, officially opens Oct. 16 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre for a limited run through Jan. 11.

I prefer Katie over Mario anytime and anyday. Katie will show how great she is and Broadway wants her because she is big money for the biz and will bring big media attention.
Only Katie makes the CNN and big media outlets headlines. Yesssss and thanks JJ.
Im jealous for those that can watch Katie.
I want to but I cant.
Katie is soooo hot
This is good news. No doubt Katie will be amazing and Im happy she finally realized her broadway dreams. Not many actresses and actors can do tv,broadway and the movies.
God bless TomKat

I used to like Mario back in Saved by the Bell..Im always a Zack gal though but now Im turned off by Mario because he’s a playa.
wow that picture of katie reminds me of tom cruise for some reason.
34th!!!!!! I’m tired of Mario also, and he was not doing well, so that is why he was bumped in favor of Katie. I said in the last blog comment, that I would pay to see Katie, and we all need to give her a chance, to see what she can do. Her talents are much more than being Suri’s mom and Tom’s wife. She needs people to get off her back. Go Katie!!!
Great luck to Katie Holmes!
There’s no way Katie’s reviews will end up any worse than Mario’s. He reportedly stunk up that theatre with his onstage atrocities & backstage arrogance.
I miss Katie,Tom and Suri.
You would have to pay me §350 to go and see her play in anything.. Even if it was free i wouldn’t waste my time to go and see her.. This girl is juste a waste of space.. She has no talent. Every one knows that the only reason she is in broadway is ’cause Tom has paid some unscrupulous people a good lump of money..
Mario Lopez can NOT sing, dance or act his way out of a paper bag. On stage or off! The show (A Chorus Line) is closing because HE DOESNT SELL THE TICKETS the producers thought his ’star power’ (ah-hem?) would sell.
For insiders on the show, its obvious what they were doing when they brought him on. Merely to create a holding pattern until the next show was ready to be loaded in. That next show just happens to be Katie Holmes’ show. Big woop. Happens everyday on Broadway. Lopez is far too full of himself and his own importance.
How wonderful……two shows I won’t have to worry about seeing. It’s sad that Broadway has become a dumping ground for TV and reality show so-and-so’s. Tons of talent out there being wasted just to get the gawkers and couch potatoes out to see a show. But that’s the mindset of the backers with the $$$: pimp it out and they will come.
a reliable hotel source (think robbie williams song) tells that tom crewz is a silent (uh-hum) ‘angel’ in this upcoming yawner, nabbing a tidy part for the mrs. . this should bring all that creek drama to broadway where dozens of adoring young fans will anxiously await their half-price tix.
daddy tom, on the other hand, is hoping that his investment will allow for extended private playtime…..and without the offspring. (wink wink)
i’ve always hated Maria Lopez, especially when he was in the news about attempted rape a few years ago. When he cheated on Ali Landry and she really was a sweetheart. I think he is a jerk and it’s all karma coming back at him. He claims he is such a devount catholic and look at all the crap he does to women. He’s a loser. I can’t stand him.
