Katie Holmes to Come to Broadway
Yes indeed, Mrs. Tom Cruise, a/k/a Katie Holmes, is in final negotiations to bring her celebrity to Broadway later this year in the revival of Arthur Miller’s gripping drama All My Sons, to be directed by British-born Simon McBurney. According to The Daily Mail, Holmes, 29, plans to participate in a workshop in May in preparation for her Broadway debut which marks her first play since high school. She’ll be in good company joining John Lithgow and Dianne Wiest in this heartbreaking saga, the first revival of any of Miller’s plays since his death three years ago. Holmes’ previous credits include film roles in The Ice Storm, Pieces of April and Batman Begins, among others, as well as Dawson’s Creek, a popular television series. Her talent may possibly have been overshadowed by her marriage and public persona akin to that, but the stage will supply the naked truth. Can Ms. Holmes cut the mustard? We’ll be there to find out.

Ugh. This is a play I would really love to see, especially with Wiest and Lithgow attached to it. BUT casting Holmes might just keep me away.
