No Love for Holmes


It looks like Katie Holmes has no shot at any Tony accolades for her Broadway debut in "All My Sons". Although the tickets have been selling well (which I think also is heightened by John Lithgow - a broadway veteran) the critics weren't too pleased. The critics viewed the show last night. And they didn't like her:

USA today says: "At best, Holmes exhibits a girlish exuberance that could serve her well in certain stage roles, provided she finds a director who can ease her obvious self-consciousness and get her to focus on the often-intricate process of character development. Sadly, Simon McBurney, who helms this production, is not that director."

Newsday compares Katie Holmes to the winner of a high school talent show.

But its not new news, lots of actresses have tried shots at Broadway - only to see their performances ripped apart. (See Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman)
