Update: I have an update to this story here. It’s a good read. 
(The picture above is from 2003 at the “Pieces of April” movie premiere. Katie looks beautiful!)
I am shocked and surprised at the ticket sales news I am reading for “All My Sons” in which Katie Holmes will make her Broadway debut. Everything I have read says that the sales are disappointing and not going well at all.
One article says that the play is already destined to be a flop because the advance bookings are so poor. They have failed to reach the $1 million dollar mark.
Michael Ridel, one of NewYork’s most influential theatre critics is saying that this is roughly a third of the expected volume for a Hollywood Star’s Broadway run. He goes on to state (and yes, some of you will not like this statement – but please don’t shoot the messenger 
) that Tom Cruise’s ex-wife Nicole Kidman brought in about $4 million in her play The Blue Room.
Ticket vendors are already complaining that the general public is showing little interest in the show. One seller has said, “I bought 1,000 tickets to the show. I still have them.”
When the play “All My Sons” first hit the stage in 1947, it was a huge success. It received a Tony Award for Best Play.
Regardless of the the ticket sale issues, the play is set to preview on September 18th.
Any ideas as to why the ticket sales are so bad?
