Lithgow, Weist, Holmes, Wilson to star in ALL MY SONS Revival — Page 2

There is some humor in the piece, mostly provided by the two sets of neighbors - the doctor and his wife (who moved into Ann's former home)and Frank & Lydia, Chris' old school pals.

A Tony award based solely on the press release. Is that a record?

And I'm definitely curious to see how well this sells. If Gallagher/Freeman/McDormand aren't selling all that well, would Lithgow/Wiest/Holmes do better? I'm waiting for a discount for this.

Longacre?

It makes sense, especially with the new renovation.

Not particularly excited for this one, but I've never been a huge Katie Holmes fan either...

Quite excited for this one!

And I have to say that i'm hoping for Katie to soar with this material, and hold her head right up there with her fellow co-stars.

(...not saying she will, but i'm hoping...)

Wonder if this is going to go the same way as The Blue Room? Sold out because of Nicole Kidman, only so-so reviews (at best) and Kidman out-acted by her co-star. Cruise was in the audience opening night, smiling away, so very "happy" for his wife's success. Then they split up within a year.

Katie Holmes on Broadway- the end is near!

Posted by: whyohwhyoh 08:13 pm EDT 05/19/08
We get Suzanne Summers, then Rosie, the boy -banders, all the CHICAGO and GREASE stunt casting (I'm waiting for someone from SURVIVOR to strut their stuff!), Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner, Christina Applegate, Ali McGraw , Claire Danes (ALL hopeless) and now we have Katie Holmes, that great thespian, making her professional stage debut ON BROADWAY in ALL MY SONS. That's right not in CHICAGO or GREASE but Arthur Miller's seminal work.

Ms. Holmes, who dazzled us all in DAWSON'S CREEK will surely draw in fans the way Kidman did- not for her talent but the perverse curiosity factor. Will TOM be in the audience tonight?? I don't want to prevent Ms. Holmes from pursuing her artistic development but why can't she have a few dry runs in Podunk or wherever before inflicting it on us with a $100.00 price tag?

With her movie career tanking and no TV jobs forthcoming, Holmes is trying to gain some legitimacy- she wants to be a "real" actress! Who knows. Elizabeth Berkely is now taken seriously in some quarters although seeing her on stage was a tragic experience- she can't act. Holmes will flash us her lopsided smile and talk in that baby-voice of hers and hope for the best.

It's kind of pissing me off how Patrick Wilson will only come back to Broadway now in limited runs of plays, because he's so busy with his burgeoning Hollywood career.

The man needs to be SINGING. He has a gorgeous voice, and he's a stunning musical theatre performer. I wish he would do a damn musical.

Great cast...but I dont think I can see this play again

I'm gonna hafta figure a way to see this. Hey beacs' is it still stage dooring when u never leave?

John Lithgow and Dianne Weist in a play by my all time favorite playwright? WOW!!! As for Katie Holmes, I'll make that judgement when I see the play. So far, her movie/TV career hasn't impressed me at all.
