Broadway and public transportation are back in action in storm-ravaged New York City—and so is Katie Holmes!

The actress took the subway home following the first preview performance of Dead Accounts at the Music Box Theatre, in which she stars as a single mom in Ohio whose brother unexpectedly returns home under mysterious circumstances.

While Holmes certainly isn't the first celeb we've spotted on the subway, it is kinda surprising that she didn't opt for a private car or at least a cab ride.

But perhaps, having been one of the millions of Manhattanites who found herself without power last week in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, she was enjoying a moment of solidarity with her fellow New Yorkers.

She and her bodyguard were spotted cutting through Times Square and then he accompanied her on the train.

Josh Hamilton (who, because he's a man who's working closely with her is already rumored to be crushing on Holmes), Judy Greer and multiple Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz costar with Holmes in Dead Accounts, a brand-new dark comedy from Smash scribe Theresa Rebeck
