Katie Holmes: My Opening Night On Broadway

She never stuck around to greet her fans! There werre hundreds of us there tonight!

cheers to a talented and beautiful
young actress

Thanks Jared for finally showing pics of the other cats members. Lithgow looks great as do the rest of the cast.

That should be cast members not cats members in my previous post.

She’s so pretty :)

im pumped === but I cant even watch this play.

huh….i figured the momsie hairdo was for the play - apparently not!

#1 maybe she wanted to get away from the protesters. She looks nice.

When are you watching Jared? Katie is all grown up.

Way to go Katie and indeed she looks fantastic……dying to see Tom too.

I have to say the crowd was to much you couldn’t see her and a few people in the theatre were mean. however people shouldn’t bash tom cruise at all. he sat not in the front row but 10 rows back at least and by himself. i mean how cool is that. katie was fab. she was great and i’m so blessed to have been there. the outside mess was just to crazy for words.

Staffers from OK magazine and from New York Daily News are raving about Katie Holmes. So many came to see Katie that even NY cops were there and they had signs that said “well done Katie”. More coolness.

I heart this girl and love her family!~

“he sat not in the front row but 10 rows back at least and by himself.”
——————————

Tom was not by himself. He might have walked in alone but he was not alone when he was sitting down. There were a whole bunch of people with him. He was sitting next to a blond lady and a big guy with a moustache that were like in their 30’s for the woman and 40’s for the man. On the other side was a younger guy (20’s) with blond hair also and a younger girl with blonde hair too. They whispered back and forth alot and he kissed them hello when he came in. He also kissed other people hello in the same aisle. It was obvious they were friends of the Tom and Katies. It looked to me like he was friends with most of the 10th row and some of the people in front of him too.

Joey and Pacey Fan, it sounds like you had a good time. I’m not surprised with Cruise’s behavior. He did something similar in 2005 during the Batman Begins premiere. He hogged all the attention and the brilliant cast and crew of Batman Begins(Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Chris Nolan) were practically ignored because Tom made it all about him. He’s the most ridiculously insecure actor in Hollywood, and that’s saying something. I really hope Katie wakes up and walks away from Cruise and his dangerous cult.

Katie is all aglow!

Katie is so lucky to be loved by this 20 protestors that they single her out to be free. So many women are abused by their bfs and husbands but no one cares for them? So many people are tied to scary religions and cults than Scientology but they dont matter only Katie Holmes?
Women in Afghanistan,India,Pakistan,Iran are dying to be free but these 20 protestors only care for Katie Holmes. Women and children in Iraq are being used as bombs and no cares for their freedom but only Katie Holmes.

What a twisted and backward goals and priorities.

You got to admit Katie is one fascinating lady. She’s a real sweetie,a promising talent in Hollywood, a hottie and nothing mean about her. Its nice to see her working again and i miss Tom as well. Enjoy the show,Jared. All the cast look amazing.

OMG Katie looks absolutely beautiful!!!

See this just shows she is a natural beauty, and really needs to grow her back!

The cast including Katie Holmes and John Lithgow are fantastic

She will be exeptional

If she just had her alittle longer she would like the old katie….normal pre scientoligy katie

katie actually looks her age in the play! anyhow, she looks happy in the other photos so tht great. cant wait for the reviews.

John Lithgow seems like a very nice man!

It’s pretty silly that someone is so immature (and obviously psychologically disturbed) that they sit here all night pretending to be different people commenting on Katie’s performance. Get some help, please!

Go get some sleep now. You didn’t fool anyone. You are quite funny!! LMAO You remind me of that pitiful character, Lydia in “To Die For”. Lydia didn’t have any friends or anyone that cared for her. She had no self-esteem and wanted the attention of someone (Nicole Kidman’s character) whom she considered famous.

Katie Holmes is a joke. She can’t act and everyone knows that. End of story. Sorry you wasted your night, Idiot!

I think she looks great. I do worry about her looking too frail and sad lately but I think it is because she has been away from Suri from time to time to rehearse.

She is a great actress and I hope we get some good details from you Jared. Have fun tonight!

You know it is bad enough that TC would steal the thunder from his own wife, playing it up to the crowd like that. But that is just DOWN RIGHT RUDE to the other serious actors (like Dianne Wiest & John Lithgow). He really didn’t *have* to make such a big scene! GRRR Makes me dislike him more and more!

FWIW, Katie looked adorable in her part, but as herself she just looked old, and a 2nd rate actress. :(

I’m gonna wait until I read what Jared has to say about the play and her acting.

only thing I have to say is…she’s way tooooo skinny to be healthy.

Is comment #1 from the genuine Creature from the Black Lagoon? Did he actually say something negative about Katie? Wow.

Were Connor and Isabella there?

Jared, reviews by critics don’t come out until the premiere, not with previews. Get with the program.

I’ll be interested to see what the industry reviews are like for her performance. She looks like herself in the pictures of the curtain call. It’s nice to see.

Tom Cruise should have snuck in quietly and let it be his wife’s night.
What a schmooze.

A delight to see Katie with the cast. Im sure they did awesome.

TO RESIST…..What in the world are you complaining about?….Why would you post something like THAT here?….ODD……I hope Katie’s performance will improve with time for all of those who got to see it…AND, did not like it…….LAGOON CREATURE, stated that Katie did NOT hang around and greet her fans, which I’m shocked about….It seems to me that the extra attention to her fans, would have helped her along on her new career path….I wonder if Weist, Lithgow and others greated any fans outside?

It isn’t that she looks so rale thin as most said about her it’s that she is standing next to John Lithgow and a bunch of other actors that are all large, tall and a bit overweight that make her look tiny next to them! She actually looks like a real woman small and dainty not Amazonish and butch like when she towers over her midgit husband and others . Especially when she’s wearing those large heals! New flash Katie just cause they make them doesn’t mean you should wear them!! Not all shoes look good on people! You are way to tall to wear 5 in. heels with platforms!!! Her husbands crotch comes to her knees! LOL Makes him look like a child next to her!

WOOOOOHOOOOOO

What an exciting moment for Katie’s career.

Katie is stunning.

The protesters had left by then, #15. No big deal though. She was great.

I know, #21. Who knew that she was that popular?

To be fair, #24. I doubt that the show going to start at 8 on the dot. Not with that crowd and not with a star of his caliber around. (But I don’t know all the details since I was in the Mezzanine and you sound like you were in the Orchestra).

And it’s not fair to blame Cruise for the protesters. They shouldn’t have been protesting at an unrelated event and Holmes is a Scientologist herself. People are too hard on Cruise.

He’s too famous to have to steal anything, #49. Shaking hands and greeting friends isn’t exactly playing it up. Can you really call that making a scene. (Technically he did make a scene but it’s not exactly his fault).

I never thought they were perfect, #53.

That sucks, #57. I was waiting to hear what the critics thought.

How does the biggest movie star on Earth sneak in quietly into a gigantic theatre, #59. You don’t even know what happened.

No one hung around though, #63. I just hated how hundreds of us waited though but only posed for a few pics and then left.

Don’t call him a midget, #65.

Hey, #66! Gossip Girl rules! Shut up!

Still better than sucking outright as you critics assumed, #70.

Culty Katie still has that fake silly smile on her face, as she approaches the camera’s. Watching a video of her coming out of the theatre with Lithgow, she could not say one word except ” fine “, when asked how she did. I would have thought after all the pubilicty she got before the play, she could have spoken more words and spoke with her fans, who will obviously make or break her Broadway career. Tom did not wire her properly for handling the throngs of culty Katie seekers by herself. She obviously needs Tommy-toon, to speak and guide her around. It is the only time she ever smiles at anyone. Maybe that is why he holds her hand so tightly. There is an electronic button in her hand that he presses for her to ” go on command”. Kate-E, “SMILE”… “Kate-E, ” speak one word”, Kate-E ‘ put your arm around my neck”. Kate-E ” walk away then turn and wave to show everyone your designer dress and new hairy-do”. And we all thought he was abusing her by his constant hand control. NOW, we know why.

hands hiding again! (in her pocket)

You know I have been so harsh on everyone and I truly am sorry for being such an ASS! Will you all forgive me as I haven’t had my medication this afternoon and my white jacket is a bit snug today making me extra cranky!! I LOVE ALL OF YOU! AND I DO HATE KATIE! I REALLY DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now THAT Katie is what I want to see when she’s not on the stage. THAT Katie actually looks more like her age!

I miss her in the Batman sequel. She had great timing opposite Bale also Aaron Eckhart just having rented Thank you for Smoking recently.
Job well done,Katie.

yeah; i noticed that katie didn’t stay around to greet her fans. but she’s not only one who doesn’t hang around after the play’s over. i can name a whole group of them. katie and tom obviously had somewhere to go.
as for the protesters, i saw them out of the corner of my eye but didn’t think much of them frree katie??? seems to me that she doesn’t want to be “free” as my kid brother has pointed out katie has a pretty good life. a husband with loads of money, a lot of houses, and a private jet.
as for her peformance; to be honest the reaon i was there was to see john lithgow. she was ok, not great but not bad either.

You infer too much without proof, #84.
