According to DailyMail, Katie Holmes is in final negotiations to make her professional stage debut on Broadway.
The producer of a revival of All My Sons, Arthur Miller’s heartbreaking, post-World War II family drama, is clearly hoping Holmes will create some sizzle at the box office later this year.
It would be the first major revival of a Miller play since the dramatist’s death three years ago.
This performance would mean that Katie would be on stage 6 nights a week. Katie has supposedly committed to taking part in a workshop in May. She will play the part of a woman who visits her former neighbours, the family of a missing pilot she once loved.
Other celebs set to be in the play with her include John Lithgow and Dianne Wiest, two Broadway veterans that would help make Holmes feel very comfortable. This will be her first play since High School.
As far as what this could for her career:
One theatre expert based in London told me: “This play will be like a shop window for Katie. The aim is to remind people of her acting chops. It’s kind of a neat idea.
“Nicole Kidman had Hollywood eating out of her hand when she was in The Blue Room,” the expert added.
Katie on Broadway…I could see it and think this would be great for her.
