Katie Holmes: the opening night on Broadway
Katie Holmes is all smiles during the curtain call of the opening night of previews for her Broadway play "All My Sons" on Friday at New York City’s Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.
Before the show, the 29-year-old actress and costar John Lithgow stood outside the theater to take photographs for paparazzi and fans.
Husband Tom Cruise, of course, was there on opening night to lend his support.
On stage, Katie looked positively fantastic in that hair and dress! When asked for his verdict on Holmes' performance, Tom Cruise stopped for a moment while moving through the crowd at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, telling The Associated Press: "Did you see it? ... It was extraordinary."
All My Sons" concerns businessman Joe Keller (Lithgow) whose factory supplied defective cylinder parts to the military, resulting in the deaths of 21 pilots during World War II. Yet it was his business partner who went to jail for the mistake.
The role calls for Holmes's character — named Ann — to be at turns winsome and willful, and theatergoer Diane Yatauro thinks she nailed it.
"It was a very tough role in that she had to be delicate and hurt and strong," said Yatauro, 54, of Glen Cove, N.Y. "She was playing against some heavyweights who've been around for a long time and she held her own."
If inside the theatre people were excited by the show, on the streets the excited crowed lined up outside the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre Thursday night an hour before Holmes acted on Broadway for the first time in a preview performance for "All My Sons."
Not in the line: roughly 30 Scientology protesters who stood behind a barricade and loudly chanted "Scientology kills!" Some wore masks like in the movie "V for Vendetta," and one poster read: "FREE KATIE."
