Katie Holmes recently showed off her street style in New York after opening in a production of Our Town with Jim Parsons and Zoey Deutch. She was seen in a fashionable multicolored houndstooth coat with a flowy sweater and dark jeans. Despite receiving lukewarm reviews from critics, the production was praised for its beauty, fine cast, and unsentimental direction. Katie’s return to Broadway after 12 years marks a significant moment in her career.
Narrated by a stage manager, Our Town is a play that revolves around New Hampshire village life at the turn of the 20th century. The play includes elements of breaking the fourth wall, time travel, and characters returning from beyond the grave. Katie, who shares a daughter with Tom Cruise, is making her grand return to Broadway after her last performance in 2012’s Dead Accounts. The show has seen numerous revivals since its original run in 1938, with notable figures like Paul Newman leading the cast in 2002.
Suri, Katie’s daughter, recently began college at Carnegie Mellon after graduating from LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. The high school has produced many famous alumni over the years, and Suri is reportedly leaning towards studying fashion at college. Katie is said to be overwhelmed by the thought of her daughter attending college but takes pride in her intelligence and maturity. Her divorce from Tom Cruise in 2012 was influenced by her concerns about Scientology’s impact on Suri.
Katie retains primary custody of Suri, with Tom granted visitation rights. He reportedly pays $400,000 a year until Suri’s 18th birthday and will also support her college fees. Tom has not been seen with Suri in years, leading to speculation that his Scientology beliefs are a factor in the distance between them. Katie’s protective nature towards Suri and her reluctance to expose her to Scientology have played a role in their family dynamic. Despite the challenges, Katie continues to focus on her career and family.
