While the ink isn't yet dry on the deal, it is all but certain that Katie Holmes will make her Broadway debut this Fall, playing Ann Deever in the revival of Arthur Miller's All My Sons.

Discussions to bring the actress to Broadway were confirmed back in March, and now a deal seems inevitable. Producer Eric Falkenstein tells OK! he thinks Katie is perfect for the part.

"Katie is very well suited for the role of Ann," he says. "There is an additional layer of soul to Ann and from the work I've seen of Katie, she has always impressed with multi-faceted characters. She would nail it."

Falkenstein also feels that Mrs. Cruise's star-power won't overshadow her acting ability. "Despite being in the spotlight and her celebrity status, the fact remains that she has a tremendous record of performances," he says. "I think Katie is a tremendous actor. Whenever she decides to come to the stage she'll be terrific."

All My Sons will hit Broadway with a preview in September and open a month later in October. A formal announcement is expected to take place within the next 10 days.

She had surgery on her nose and she fucked it up.

[mrs.v]

She's never been that great of an actress,but she did look better BEFORE
the midget:

[baked_tater]

Her nose looks crooked or too pointy now. It used to be cute, like her.

[cmmdee]

What a doll. A LIVE doll. Now she looks dead, lobotomized and lifeless

I don't know why Katie thinks she can sing, but someone needs to clue her in on the fact that she sucks. I remember in Dawson's Creek she thought she was so good that she convinced them to make Joey become some sort of glorified karaoke singer (see stylejunkie's clip) in the later seasons. It was embarrassing. In a lot of the scenes throughout the show when she's displaying her "vocal talents," it would cut to Dawson or Pacey to show their amazement at how awesome she was, and I swear James Van Der Beek and Joshua Jackson were usually laughing.

star power? what star power? she was on Dawson Creek a TV show and Batman on the big screen and she was so crap they didn't ask her back. Sorry but this one has me

I wonder if Frankenstein would think Katie had so much star power if her name wasn't Mrs.Cruise?

In an ideal world TinyThetinTomTHumb will show up opening night and the second she walks on stage, he starts bouncing off chairs, pumping the air and shouting 'She's AMAZING!'.

I'm surprised Frankenstein didn't say she was an amazing actress... I can't believe TT is going to let her do this...

[NicoleWasHere]

Katie Holmes has about as much talent as my non-exsistant left nut.

[Sunrider]

She was extremely annoying in Dawson's Creek.
She was ok in the movie she did with Micheal Douglas.
She was annoying in Batman too.

Tremendous in which parts exactly?

[sparkly]

I think she would be good on Broadway. She sounds like a chipmunk when she sings, but at least she'll be contained on Broadway instead of all over our movie screens.

I thought KatE wasn't allowed to wander off on her own. If she goes to New York, who will oversee the all-important cupcakes?
