Katie Holmes Heads to Broadway



While the ink isn't yet dry on the deal, it is all but certain that Katie Holmes will make her Broadway debut this Fall, playing Ann Deever in the revival of Arthur Miller's All My Sons.

Discussions to bring the actress to Broadway were confirmed back in March, and now a deal seems inevitable. Producer Eric Falkenstein tells OK! he thinks Katie is perfect for the part.

"Katie is very well suited for the role of Ann," he says. "There is an additional layer of soul to Ann and from the work I've seen of Katie, she has always impressed with multi-faceted characters. She would nail it."

Falkenstein also feels that Mrs. Cruise's star-power won't overshadow her acting ability. "Despite being in the spotlight and her celebrity status, the fact remains that she has a tremendous record of performances," he says. "I think Katie is a tremendous actor. Whenever she decides to come to the stage she'll be terrific."

All My Sons will hit Broadway with a preview in September and open a month later in October. A formal announcement is expected to take place within the next 10 days.

Tremendous record? All I know of is Dawson's Creek and Batman Begins.

Multi-faceted characters who? She never played anyone of consequence.

her character in 'mad money' had quite a few layers......naive free-spirit, clueless dancer, harmless criminal......it was fascinating to watch her explore the character with the given material.

i kind of hate her for not returning to 'the dark knight'. i know a lot of people didn't like her, but maggie g. is fugly and it's really annoying when they replace actors for the same character.

I fucking hate when they put out of work film actors on Broadway. LIVE PERFORMANCE IS HARDER THAN FILM, PEOPLE. Especially when you're dead behind the eyes.

All My Sons is a great play, Ann Deever is a great role, and yet... Katie Holmes sucks so bad. I can't understand this.

i remember watching her on the creek thinking she was the prettiest girl ever.. and she still is to an extent
but her association with tom DESTROYED her career. i'm sure he is calling in favors to get her acting roles at this point
