Katie Holmes gets help
Tuesday, 17 June 2008
Katie Holmes has been given a handful advice from peers Kristen Chenoweth and Brooke Shields as she prepares to make her Broadway debut.
Katie recently confirmed she will be making her stage debut in the Arthur Miller play All My Sons in New York.
The former 'Dawson's Creek' star is keen to be recognised for her acting skills, not just for being the wife of Tom Cruise.
Kate - who married the 'Top Gun' actor in November 2006 - received critical acclaim for her performances in 'Batman Begins' and 'Thank You For Smoking', but decided to take a break from acting after giving birth to the couple's first child Suri in April 2006.
Veteran stage actors have been happy to dish out advice to the young actress.
John Lithgow, who will co-star with Holmes in the play, tells People.com, "She's a pro and I'd say to be herself. She's going to be wonderful. I'm looking forward to working with her. We haven't worked together yet but it's going to be great."
Brooke Shields, who starred in Chicago as Roxie Hart in 2005, is pleased Holmes has switched from screen to stage.
She says: "She will be so happy about making that decision. There is nothing like it. It's the Olympics. It's the college of theatre."
Meanwhile Broadway veteran Kristen Chenoweth advises Holmes to rest up before her debut in October.
She says: "I would recommend her just to stay healthy and get a lot of good sleep and drink lots of water.
"It takes so much energy to be on stage seven days a week, so she needs a good night's sleep everyday. But I'm sure she will do just fine."
