Katie Holmes confirmed for Broadway role

Katie Holmes is set to make her Broadway debut in a remake of the classic Arthur Miller play All My Sons, a rep for the production has confirmed.

Discussions to bring the 29-year-old former 'Dawson's Creek' actress to the stage were confirmed in March. Producer Eric Falkenstein insisted that the mother of one would be perfect for the part of Ann Deever in the Tony-winning drama.

He said, "Katie is very well suited for the role of Ann.

"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."

Eric also feels that Katie's superstar status won't overshadow her talent as an actress.

"Despite being in the spotlight and her celebrity status, the fact remains that she has a tremendous record of performances," he added.

"I think Katie is a tremendous actor. Whenever she decides to come to the stage, she'll be terrific."

All My Sons will debut on Broadway in October, with previews in September. John Lithgow, Patrick Wilson (Little Children) and Oscar-winner Dianne Wiest are also lined-up to star in the production.
