FIRST!!!!
Katie is not going to be playin herself as a robot is she?
http://www.MySpace.com/ItsJonaBitch
I dont mean to sound nasty, but I think Katie is in way over her head. The rest of the cast is excellent and she is in no way in the same league…. not even close.
John Lithgow and Patrick Wilson will act circles around Katie. I know she’s a crappy actress but I still preferred her to Maggie Gyllenhaal’s stilted and wooden performance in DK. She looks like an old hag.
hmmm…wierddd…
pretty
cool
oh, pleeeeease, tell me this isn’t going to happen. maybe tickets will sell but it will be tc who BOUGHT the play for his talentless GF, then tc will go on to BUY out seats for the cult.
this is NOT theatre, this is some sicko business deal orchestrated by a fanatical loser tc and his equally fanatical partner kh. I am shocked the fabuously talented cast is participating in this fraud. They earned their parts, katie just signed a contract to ***** herself for $$$ to tt.
She looks good. I like her Haircut
Sounds like it will be VERY boring… the whole idea of the story sounds really stupid…
John Lithgow is awesome!! I think its’ good for her that she’s getting theater experience! Among wondeful actors! that’s good.
poor thing couldn’ act to save her life.
but tom rocks.
Tom Cruise is her husband not her boyfriend. Second, give the woman a chance! She can act, she is talented and this may do her good. Always negative, always hating…..
She is so photoshoped into that pic.
And what is up with her boobs? No bra?
go back home to Tommy boy pls
She’s too sweet for the role.
Good Grief, no wonder fans have unrealistic expectations with regard to how stars look. Can this be photoshopped any more without making ‘creatures’ of them. What’s wrong with a little reality.
I hope she does a decent job. I wouldn’t want her to mess it up for the other actors. Well, then again, they’d just fire her. Patrick Wilson’s dad works at the fox tv affiliate here in Tampa as an Anchor. His brother Mark is a reporter for the same station. I’m glad he’s doing well in his profession.
sounds boooooooring
“Dianne Wiest (not pictured)”…uh, yes she is, you just cut off her head and half of her upper body. She is an Oscar winning actress who deserves more respect than you guys have given her here…
I hope she does well. Give her a chance.
And by the way, when was the last time you went to a Broadway play?
JJ: Why the hell did you cust Dianne Wiest out of the picture? Did Tommy pay you to get a close up of his wife?
Oops, I invented a new world - meant cut not cust.
I hope the best for Katie…but she looks “hollow”…..it’s hard to put into words….she’s lost…..:(
WTG KATIE
Im just dreaming on because I cant watch this play no matter how much of a fan I am of Katie. She looks adorable and Patrick is so handsome.
Thanks Jared!
Ooo la la Pretty Katie Holmes….
Love them but I cant see Diane.
Im happy that Katie is back to her Independent project roots. She is beautiful but I miss her long hair. Cant wait for her New York sightings once her play is near. Great luck to her. It will tire her out because its no break for her but constant performance.
How dare you block out Dianne?!
# 19 last ones I saw were Cats and Miss Saigon but those were musicals. I got lucky too because they were gifts from my uncle so this play for Katie I sure cant afford.
***** SOB ********
I love Arthur Miller, and I’m curious if Katie can keep up with the material. Patrick Wilson is pretty amazing, as is the rest of the cast.
Looking good,Katie. Good luck to her and awww she looks good with Patrick.
Katie holmes ruined Tom cruise’ career. he should hurry up and dump her robot ass!
I was totally psyched that Maggie replaced Katie for the Batman sequel but boy was I wrong. Katie was a better actress and hot.
I was rolling my eyes when Bale and Eckhart were fighting for her
heart.
MG was more scary than Heath Ledger.
Yay Suri’s mama on Broadway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like a very serious and conservative play knowing its Arthur Miller so I doubt she will be shedding her clothes unlike Kidman.
Preticket sales are not anywhere near where the backers expected when adding Katie. I believe she has sold a million in presales compared to Kidman’s 4 million when she was in a London play. None of the nights are sold out yet. They were silly to rely on Katie for sales. The rest of the cast are excellent actors with plenty of stage experience. Katie not so much or at all. When you have to put out over $100 for a ticket, go thru the hassle etc of driving if you don’t live in the city etc., — you want quality, not Katie.
35th!!!! I hope this Broadway play goes well for Katie. She has seemed so depressed and lost in every picture I have seen of her lately. Even those of her with Suri. I know people tease them of Scientology, but I truely believe that is the reason behind her strange behavior. Her mother has been spending alot of time with her and probably with good reason. I love Katie and always have, but you cannot just switch from Catholic to Tom’s wierd Church of the Robotics ( and I do love Tom also ), on the spur of the moment, without some regrets. I hope she gets her life back on track. Go get them Katie on Broadway, and prove the critics wrong.
Pretty f*cking sad when your “husband” has to buy you a part.
This is one of the funniest photos i’ve EVER seen. The men are not photoshopped but they’ve photoshopped the ho Katie so much, she looks like a zebra standing between two horses. I can’t quit laughing.
oh well, they’ve got her looking like she is….a big fake.
This play will never open. I hear they can’t even give the tickets away. I guess Tiny Tommy will have to buy all the seats and charter many flights from LA to NY loaded with members of the cult.
WTF if wrong with Lithgow for not backing out of this play already? It’s just a matter of time before it we can add another flop to Katie’s resume.
Free Kati-E!
I think Katie will do just fine .She is so pretty and has lots of talent
SWEET
Batman was just a female filler role but Katie should have just finished it.
she is beautiful
Patrick looks handsome cant wait to see him also on Watchmen
What fucktard let her be in this play–I don’t give a crap how much money Tom had to pay?
Personally, I believe Tom bought the part for her so her could get her away from him. You know what they say….when Katie’s away, David and Tommy “play”.
The Katie Kurse strikes again. Her nickname should be Black Widow. Everything she comes in contact with flops.
Real, confident actresses like Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren, etc. don’t have to be photoshopped.
Only loser, bad “actresses” like katie must be photoshopped. Nothing they have will sell them to the public. She must be extremely insecure. She’s always hiding behind a fake persona.
I wonder if she’s already done it with her male co-stars?
What’s the name of this again? All My Robots?
All My Sorrows
She has saggy boobs to be 50.

i like the old katie
I hate Katie
But Patrick Wilson is amazing! Love him!!

I wish katie will stop being a ROBOT and become a real actress once again like she used to be in Dawson’s creek. Michelle williams was also in dawson’s but she is now grown into an independent adult actress and mom. Katie needs to free herself from the Cruise control. She transformed into a ROBOT after TOM.
BOYCOTT CELEBRITIES THAT SUPPORT THE CULT OF CASHOLOGY
WHY would anyone bother paying actual $$$ to see this cult member?
How vain and self deluded is Katie and her cult husband.
Can’t wait to see the protesters ‘informing’ all the patrons of this Tom Cruise funded flop.

Nothing will make you guys happy. NOTHING. You guys all talk big, and insult celebrities. This must come from a deep hatred for your own lives that it makes you feel better to bash others who at least are doing something with their lives. Ha ha ha!
What do you mean, Dianne Weist is “not pictured”? You cut her off! That’s her on Katie’s left.
Dianne Weist one of the two leads of this play; John Lithgow is the other. Katie Holmes’ has a SUPPORTING role. Katie Holmes has won a couple of “Teen Choice” awards. Dianne Weist is an Oscar and Tony winner. But because Katie Holmes is married to that tiny control freak Tom Cruise, you give her top billing???
Unbelievable faux pas.
oops, I mean that’s Dianne on Katie’s RIGHT.
soooo jealous for those that can see this play.
What a talented and gorgeous cast……
She is the most beautiful woman. Just curious, is she happy? I saw her pro file on a celeb rity site called ‘ri ch k iss . c om’. the profile is attractive, classic, hot with many nice photos there. Many cele bs have found romance, date, fri ends etc. there. Is she da ting someone rich there?
Time will tell if Katie has UST with Patrick Wilson but she did with Christian Bale in Batman Begins unlike her predecessor Maggie who was unconvincing with Bale and Eckhart. She sparked more with the Joker or Alfred.
John Lithgow looks disgusted cause he has to be in a play with Robo Wife. ha ha ha ha
Dancer #35 - YOU ARE RIGHT, WE WANT QUALITY “NOT KATIE”
GUYS, KH ISN’T DESERVE TO COMPARE WITH “BEAUTIFULL & TALENTED NICOLE KIDMAN”.
KH JUST ******* TOY OF TOM CRUISE, SHE DON’T NEED TO ANYTHING IN REALITY, BECAUSE SHE IS ALREADY HAVE ALOT OF MONEY FROM “TC’S CONTRACT MARRIAGE”.
I just went to broadwayworld.com and did a search in the messageboards for “katie holmes”. Fifteen pages of comments about the ho’s part in All My Sons and 99% were negative. Everybody there thinks she is a joke too!
That stupid link to Tiny Tom’s website also appears over there. Boy, he’s really trying to shove himself down everyone’s throat. I wouldn’t go to his website no matter what.
He and his beard are fakes. His “religion” is fake. They belong to a murderous cult. Anyone that belongs to an organization is guilty as well, whether or not their hand is on the “trigger”.
Tom and Katie will have to meet their maker one of these days. And for all of you lunatics that support these freaks, their maker is not L.Ron Hubbard or some science fiction bul*****!!!
They need to seek forgiveness before they are doomed!!
Complementary cast of character actors and should be a great play. Katie is not in “over her head” and will prove the haters wrong!
I think her next child will look like Patrick Wilson.
Echo this!

Just Jared it would of been more fun to have Patrick Wilson and
Katie Holmes together..Who needs two oscar winning actor and
actress.. Look at Katie’s last movie with they were asking Dianeif she was intimdated by Tom on the set… Every thing she does is all about
her… So be it… on the poster outside just have Patrick Wilson and
Katie Holmes..Since the world knows what comes next…
There is already Tony buzz for Katie…!!
Is it just me or does Patrick look like Chris Klein?

She doesn’t look bad there, but she is starting to look like a Stepford wife with that blank stare.

Looking Good Katie!!!!!
Go Katie! Do your thing! fu** these losers who don’t know squat!
Women of all talents are photoshopped by mags, #44. What a stupid comment
WOW
Sorry, but she is just plain HORRID looking now-a-days…. seriously all one has to do is loom up pics. of her when she first started dating super-controlling-dwarf-scietology-mad-minded Cruise to see her very troubling and dramatic disengration… and it’s not just her change in appearance it’s her whole persona, that youthful, vibrant, care-free “glow” that she once had is totally and completely gone… quite sad, really…
Im watching this
for Katie
# 65 its unanimous, katie sux
Katie and Tom have undermined the ‘viewing audience’.
And you are absolutely right Tom Cruise’s stupid ad is EVERYWHERE. Banner ads, google ads, you tube ads - the cost must be phenomenal - that’s if anyone bothers to click on them.
Tom doesn’t appear to understand -
YOU CANNOT BUY BACK YOUR DIGNITY OR RESPECT.
Have you all seen the full version of Toms $cientology (made up) medal speech? I recommend everyone watch it. It is a true insight into how deep he is into the cult. And Katie is sitting there clapping in the front row.
It would be hilarious how serious he takes his cult membership EXCEPT he is introducing their belief system to everyone he meets. And the cult use him to gain influence with important decision makers.
$cientology is not some benign self help alien ‘religion’ - it is a highly funded cult with influence. It uses front groups and companies (and celebrities) to access government funding and support.
This cult has a track record of abuse and maliciousness.
Get informed.
#69 Betsy:
You say there is already Tony buzz for Katie? Are you delusional or just reading Katie friendly blogs. The more respected NY publications are saying she is the reason the play isn’t selling well because she is overshadowing the folks that are the real actors and stage tested (Lithgow, Wilson, and Weist). The only time I’ve read the words Katie Holmes and Tony in the same sentence are when the publication is comparing her to Kidman and her Theater World Award for her broadway debut in The Blue Room.
I feel really sorry for Mz. Holmes. I think she is a passable actress, but not a good one. And the pressure to perform as a talented stage and screen actor must be huge. I don’t think she can live up to that. Unlike Kidman, who has true and genuine talent–although she uses it very erratically, Holmes is basically a small screen actress. She should stick with what she does best or else buy herself the best damn drama coach that scientology money can buy!
Thanks JJ. Katie will be great and she’s so beautiful.
Ticket sells for Arthur Miller’s “All My Sons” Broadway show, that Katie Holmes has a staring roles, is not selling as anticipated “What a Big Surprise” It’s apparent Holmes marriage to Tom Cruise has not made her a big star the same way in which Nicole Kidman benefited from her marriage to Tom Cruise. But it’s pretty obvious to everyone the big difference between Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman is that Katie Holmes is just not a particularly good actress and no matter how much Tom Cruise wants her to be a big star, she doesn’t have much talent or even what’s called the “it” factor. I’m embarrassed for her ~
Is it just me or does Patrick look like Chris Klein?
OMGOSH! Betsy…I was TOTALLY getting ready to post the same thing!!!!

That will be okay since Patrick looks like Chris Klien, both kids will look a like!!
she looks good
ughh i hate her
she should have stayed on Batman even when its a mindless role
I hope the play is a short run because I see it sucking.
Broadway is not Hollywood. The Broadway audience is more critical.
Just having a big name doesn’t mean big ticket sales.
It’s one thing to waste money on a bad movie, another thing to waste money on a bad play. Right now, KH is only famous for having a master called TC. Her acting career took a nose dive.
And the real great actress here is Diane.
How dare you cut her off? The real audience will be so pissed.
Marrying Tom helped her to become a C lister (she was a D lister before, at best).
.
Tom can’t make her a goood actress. This one is definitely not his fault.
We know tc bought the play for kh, now I wonder if he paid Patrick to knock up kh or donate sperm for that purpose. In the sickening photo above, kh looks more “coupled” to Patrick than to tc. Iall just gross.
This is the CULT, not theatre. how are these outstanding performers participating in this fraud. Aren’t they a cut above Keaton & Latifah who degraded themselves in Mad Money?
Echo this!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
KH is completely brain washed. She is a stepford wife times TEN. She is surrounded by nothing but Tom’s people. There is no turning back for her…
And…her daughter shares the same thousand miles stares too.
Katie looks like an airhead. Can’t she even look in the same direction as the others when taking a picture??
Katie looks beautiful!
okay, i’ll just say it…katie ain’t purty. she ain’t even cute. the ONE and ONLY thing she ever had going for her was her spunk. her personality is now as uneventful as her looks.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz….
My cousin’s wife says that Katie was basically hired to be Tom’s wife, and they don’t even sleep in the same room. They basically live on opposite sides of the house and carry on separate lives. It would make sense for Tom to have his whole family there, because he and Katie really aren’t one.
Katie Holmes didn’t get too big for Batman!!! She was easily the worst thing about Batman Begins and recasting her role was super smart! I mean, can the girl do anything other than Joey Potter?! I don’t think so!!!
