Katie Holmes to do Broadway
Katie Holmes has decided that her first major acting project after her divorce from Tom Cruise will be on Broadway. The actress will star in Theresa Rebeck's Dead Accounts, a five-character comedy that will be directed by the three-time Tony Award winner Jack O'Brien. Holmes's decision to return to the physically strenuous eight-show-a-week life of a Broadway stage actress may signal an intention to stay and live in New York City with her daughter Suri. Her last appearance on Broadway, which also marked her debut, was in the 2008 production of All My Sons. * AP
