Katie Holmes is now starring on Broadway in the Arthur Miller play, All My Sons. The play also stars John Lithgow, Patrick Wilson, Dianne Wiest, and Patrick Wilson. It’s about a man who sells plane parts during World War II. Kind of dull, I KNOW! It would take A LOT more than Katie Holmes to bring me to see this play. Anyway, here’s what MSNBC is saying:

One needs to look no further than the successes of “A Chorus Line” and “Spamalot” for proof that celebrities sell Broadway tickets, but in the case of “All My Sons,” that rule might not necessarily apply.

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.” It’s hard to know what exactly is to blame.

“You can’t say it’s the economy,” says the source, “because there are shows, like ‘Mamma Mia’ that are selling out.” One possibility bandied about is that audiences are too nostalgic for Holmes’ “Dawson’s Creek” persona to clamor for tickets. “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.”

Oh please. The producers are in denial. People are SO OVER Katie as “sweet little Joey Potter.” Come on. It’s a sucky, untimely play, period. And, sadly for her, Katie is simply not a draw. John Lithgow? Maybe. Dianne Wiest? YES! But, not Katie Holmes. Not on Broadway.

And, I KNOWWWW! Those pants! With the fancy shoes! WTF?! Hee! Eeek!
