The reviews are in for Katie Holmes in “All My Sons”
Here’s a sampling of what’s being said about Katie Holmes’ performance:
–Newsday: “She is earnest and pretty, like a talented girl in a school play.”
–Chicago Tribune : “You can’t take your eyes off her.”
–The New York Times: “Ms. Holmes delivers most of her lines with meaningful asperity, italicizing every word.”
–Entertainment Weekly: “After a painfully awkward first scene, she relaxes a bit…”
–Daily News: “Holmes, a TV and film vet, makes a fine Broadway debut. Her rather grand speech pattern takes getting used to, but she seems comfortable and adds a fitting glint of glamour.”
–Variety: “She handles her role … with neither distinction nor embarrassment.”
–AMNewYork.com: “Holmes shows spunk and a radiating stage presence, but absolutely no nuance or control of her voice.”
Seems pretty LUKE warm! I wonder if they pre-sold a lot of shows.
