Building Holmes on Broadway?
Tom Cruise may call her "Kate," but Katie Holmes could still be a Broadway baby.
The actress' rep said "nothing is set" but confirmed to E! News that Holmes is "in discussions" to star in a revival of Arthur Miller's Tony Award-winning drama All My Sons, which would mark the former Dawson's Creek ingenue's professional theatrical debut.
According to Britain's Daily Mail, which reported the possible casting coup, Holmes would play Ann Deever, a young and vivacious woman whose pilot beau, Larry Keller, went missing in World War II. Having fallen in love with his brother, Chris, and knowing that it was the actions of Larry's father, Joe, that led to his death, Ann tries to convince the young men's mother that Larry is not going to be coming home.
The high-profile cast already reportedly includes John Lithgow and Oscar winner Dianne Wiest as Joe and Kate Keller.
If Holmes, 29, indeed ends up making a splash on the Great White Way, then it won't be just her marriage to Cruise and her participation in a Batman film that puts her in the same company as Nicole Kidman.
The second ex-Mrs. Cruise won a Theater World Award 10 years ago for her Broadway debut in The Blue Room, a story of love and lust that famously required its Aussie star and her leading man to disrobe.
Cruise doesn't have to worry this time around, though. Miller may have written some fiery female characters in his time, but Ann Deever keeps the goods buttoned up.
