Katie Holmes' Broadway Show Not Selling Well
Aug 22, 2008 AT 11:42 am
Well, first of all, let me say that this story has already been denied by the publicist for Katie Holmes' Broadway show, All My Sons. But really, what are they going to say? Nobody would ever publicly announce, "Hey, our tickets sales are in the crapper!"
Ticket sales for the show, which stars Katie Holmes and Patrick Wilson, are thus far “definitely off from what the production hoped,” according to a source close to “Sons.”
But, don't blame the economy!
“You can’t say it’s the economy,” says the source, “because there are shows, like ‘Mamma Mia’ that are selling out.”
Maybe the role is one people don't want for Katie.
“It’s not that Katie’s bad in the part. She’s good enough. The producers are just getting the feeling people still want to view Katie as sweet little Joey Potter.”
What do you think? Do people want to see Katie as still sweet and innocent? Or are ticket sales down because being associated with Tom Cruies has totally damaged her image? Or maybe the show just sounds boring...who knows!

Personally, I'd be afraid of her wearing her pegged jeans on stage as some sort of costume. It's bad enough that we have to see them in photographs, but to see in them in person?! *shudder!*
I dont know. I think she is devoid of a personality and I think thats what ruined her career. She let a bigge, insaner star dictate her life. She essentially looks like she did it for the money and her head is huge and shes not approachable. She used to be approachable. Now shes an old woman in a young woman's body. Ofcourse people don't want to see that.
I personally think it's Katie's marriage to Tom. A person is known by the company they keep.
I agree guilty by association. I used to like Katie but now she's just I don't know boring? old? definitely not fascinating enough to draw a crowd. I don't think she has big head though more like she's not allowed to think or say without having it fed to her. Oh well sucks to be her or not :)
Simple, she is a terrible actor! I tried to watch her in a couple of movies that got rave reviews, but she is so 2 demensional in her characters it was pitful. I have seen better performances at grade school plays!!!
I read that this is all fabricated (gasp!), that ticket sales are doing great. ;)
I agree with UGG! I don't have any particular beef against Katie as a person, but I think she is not a great actress.
How old is she? She looks sooo old these days. It seems like just yesterday she was a teenager on Dawson's Creek.
I think- I hate her boy hair. She just can't pull it off. Agree she's not the best actor!
I wonder if it is even true, but if so, makes no sense. There has got to be a lot of curiosity about her, and Dianne Wiest and John Lithgow are both amazingly talented and well-respected.
am i missing something...isn't it summer in NY?? Why is she always in longsleeve shirts, long pants, and scarves....isn't she hot?? I'm hot just looking at her
Show sounds boring.
I didn't know Patrick Wilson was in this play. He's wonderful~
Should have done the Batman movie dummy!
She can't act,it's the reason.
her show isn't selling ?! what a surprise ...lol
I think sales suck because the show sounds boring. She's presenting herself as a "serious actress" in doing Broadway, which is cool and not an unfamiliar move for a performer, but she picked the wrong part. She should have done Batman and saved the stage for later.
cute hair, though.
Currently I only view her as the idiot dumb enough to be married Tom and all of his craziness.
aren't they charging ridiculous amount of money for the tickets? Like $250 plus or something. That might be the reason why tickets are not selling.
people are just getting very tired of Katie Holmes. her sounds-so-fake love story with Cruise and her sudden fame just thanks to her being that creepy guy's wife... well we dont give a ****. Katie dont have much talent anyway...
I think if she had married Cruise and kept her personality things would be a bit different (though there would be some that still held it against her). I think what has turned everyone off about her is her complete and total change of personality. She went from this well spoken bubbly likeable personality to acting (and dressing) like someone middle aged. Her interviews are limited to 5 descriptive words and are always the same. It's like someone jerked her personality out and put a different one in, and thats profoundly disturbing. I personally would LOVE to see Lithgow cause he's an amazing actor, but Im not really interested in seeing her. She's an OK actor, but it's her personal life that turns me off. Just my opinion.
Exactly!!
Tom and Katie are too out there. No one takes them seriously playing characters because they're too outlandish in their personal lives.
I wouldnt see it just because of the Tom Cruise factor... Shes become bland and boring since meeting him. Shes changed and shes not 60 in a 20something body.
i think people don't want to see someone succeed who has anything to do with scientology or tom cruise. she always looks so sad.
I think sales are low cause 1. Sales have been down for almost all shows in the past 10 months, not just this one. 2. She isn't exactly an accomplished actress, yet.
Definitely because of the Cult leader. The whole world mocks them now, and she's not actually known for being a great actor.
Sweet little Joey Potter looked like a girl anyway. Today, Kattie looks like she could play one of the sons in "All My Sons." It sort of looks like she is hanging herself with that scarf.
