even if she does a good job… i still don’t admire her…
just because of her being with the insane tom cruise
and that’s it.

if any of yall actually read what Jared puts CAREFULLY, u’d notice how it says “AUDIENCE reviews” meaning, people who’ve seen the show, not real critics! idiots.. stop getting on Jared’s back!

It’s a shame that Katie Holmes is getting all the publicity for this play.
The rest of the cast are much more deserving of the attention than she is. Take Tom Cruise out of the equation and she would never have been on Broadway.

Zanessa,

Jared must’ve edited that to read “audience reviews.” When I read it last night, that was NOT how it read. Perhaps he’s realizing just because he says something doesn’t make it so.

She was OK and by opening night in October she should have gotten over the jitters. She had a tendency to project and it will get more natural as time goes on. Not a big fan of hers but I couldn’t find much to complain about in her performance.

Creature’s asking why weirdos would come to this site? That’s hilarious.

From those in the industry who have been attending rehearsals for All My Sons, the word is that this show is completely mis-cast. And at those ticket prices, this is not a worthy night out.

did she get the standing ovation or did the cast? I could care less for her one way or the other but the fact that it has become the Katie Holmes play is a bit annoying. She isn’t the lead!! The rest of the cast must be annoyed too…

The whole cast got a standing ovation, not just Katie. I was there so I know. John Lithgow, Pactrick Wilson, Diane Weist and Katie are all pro’s and they all deserved it together. Katie was OK in the part. She did fine but everyone got the ovation, not just her. Its an insult to the other theater veterans to say otherwise and its not true.

I’m really happy for Katie that she did well and I hope she gets even better as time goes on, which I think she will!

I also hope that Tom doesn’t keep going to the show every nite. He was rude when he walked in right before the curtain went up and held up the show. I didn’t appreciate that. They made it sound like everybody was so thrilled to see him but thats not what I saw. Some people were excited, sure. But it wasn’t like the whole audience was all about him! I think he has a problem. I think he was jealous that Katie was getting all the attention and he wasn’t! He could have sat down earlier so he wouldn’t have delayed the show but he didn’t. He also didn’t need to walk in with a bunch of bodyguards (like 3) like he did. He did it to attract attention to himself and that sucks! He needs to go back to LA so Katie can have her time in the spotlight.

The cast probably did get the standing ovations since they were all
standing there together.. But don’t forget this is the Katie Holmes
play .. Notice who none of the other actors came out.. And how all
the shows quickly showed her with Tom after dinner ..Where is that
good looking guy that plays her boyfriend.?? Did we get to see him
come out no!

fake couple, tired of both.He is pathetic and she is a robot!

beautiful and happy family

to bite me what the heck @ 09/20/2008 at 2:25 pm

just how do you know that jared is lying about getting some positive reviews about katie? you ever hear of the internet?? people who were there last night emailed what they thought about katie to jared. i should know i was one of those people. that’s because i was in the audience last night. were you?? i didn’t think so. let’s be clear i’m not necessarily a katie fan nor do i hate her. but i am an arthur miller fan; i would to go to one of his plays at the drop of a hat. i’d even go if you were in it, which is saying a lot.

let me tell you how it works, ok, because obvioulsy you don’t have a clue. while it would be nice to have the critics from the new york post, new york times etc on your side what really counts in the theatre is word of mouth. i have seen plays and musicals that the critics raved about close after only weeks. why, because the audience-you know the paying public-didn’t agree.
on the other hand, i have seen plays and musicals the critics have hated last for months. why, for the same reason; the paying public thought the critics were wrong. this is how it works; not only in theatre but for film as well.

Are you high # 84 BETSY SMITH?? Seriously. You must be.

This is not Katie’s play. She has a supporting role, not the lead. John Lithgow and Diane Weist are the leads. JJ might be only showing pics of Katie, but the broadway boards are full of stuff about the rest of the cast too. And yes, there are pics of Patrick Wilson all over too. Its just that JJ only shows Katie.

You need to come into the real world and stop just looking at gossip and boards like this. To say this is “katie’s play” is ignorant and disrespectful to the other actors who are getting just as much attention in other places.

Man….some people are so UNINFORMED. The whole world is not Just Jared. There are theater boards and broadway boards out there and sites that focus on other people. Sheesh!

BETSY SMITH @ 09/20/2008 at 3:05 pm

Talking about the entertainment shows and the news.. They didn’t show the rest of the cast just John Lithgow with her.. But Tom and
Katie after dinner was more important… It is not Just Jared if look at the other websites and what are the websites for Broadway..Tell
me what other websites have the rest of the cast… That don’t include
broadway… Sheesh .. There is a world out there other than Just Jared
that will print Just Katie..

Joey and Pacey Fan @ 09/20/2008 at 3:06 pm

PS BETSY SMITH

I hate the fact that you are putting all that pressure of Katie. I have been her fan for longer than you I am sure, and I think thats totally unfair to her.

What are you going to say IF the reviews are bad? “Oh, its not Katie’s play anyway! The cast all carries the blame.” You can’t have it both ways and I think it sucks that you are trying to dump everything on her. She’s did the right thing. She took a supporting role in a serious play. Not a lead role. It’s people like you who make fans here look bad.

With fans like you and some of the others here, Katie doesn’t need enemies!! You make it worse on her than the critics!

Joey and Pacey Fan @ 09/20/2008 at 3:11 pm

BETSY SMITH,

Maybe the entertainment shows showed her and Tom but there’s more to life than E news and Entertainment tonite. People who are interested in theater don’t watch that crap.

You’re a jerk. I can’t even be bothered talking to you anymore. If you want to know about broadway boards, go on google.

Insulting the rest of the cast is ignorant and wrong. Katie is doing good work. Let her enjoy it with out idiots like you putting more pressure on her saying she is the lead. You don’t know what you’re talking about. I WAS THERE. WERE YOU? Don’t answer. I’m done with you.

Love angie and brad.

tom & katie are my favorite celebrity couple!!!!!

DEAR BETSY SMITH @ 09/20/2008 at 4:27 pm

You are an IDIOT.

Katie’s role in the play is a a supporting player not a lead.

You obviously have never read an Arthur Miller play, never lived in NYC, and know zilch about culture and or Broadway.

BTW, comparing a teeny bopper ingenue who had a part on a WB tv series to Diane Wiest or Lithglow is a laughable as comparing Sir Laurence Olivier to Hiedi Montag.

I repeat, you ARE A COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT IDIOT.

she looks like a 60 year old with that “style”

betsy smith are you nuts? @ 09/20/2008 at 5:10 pm

I couldn’t believe your arrogant comment. This is NOT KH’s show. This is a show that succeeds because of the stellar casting of Lthgow, Weist and Patrick. Friends who saw the play said that Lithgow and Weist were superb and Patrick was great, but Katie was only good. They also felt if she hadn’t been married to Tom Cruise resulting in her A list fame–she NEVER would have been cast in the role.

“They also felt if she hadn’t been married to Tom Cruise resulting in her A list fame–she NEVER would have been cast in the role.”

Absolutely, #97, and the idiots on this board can take that to the bank!!!!

The other cast members probably wish they had never signed up for the role because once they did, Tiny Tom had to buy that dumb broad a part in the play. They’re probably hoping the cult will send her to the cult cruise ship (Freewinds?) to perform in the dinner theater.

I know that they are horribly embarrassed to be associated with her or Tiny Tom in any way. I can’t believe that she’s not embarrassed when everyone knows how she got that part. Oh well, people that can’t achieve success on their own will do anything. They have no pride. It’s obvious that Katie has none.

Her parents were probably to embarrassed to show their faces.

Jared, didn’t you go last night? What is your take on the play???

God she just looks soooooo sooooo OLDOLDOLD. Fire your stylist Kate, FIRE. She looks like a 1970s lesbian.
