Katie Holmes headed back to work as she attended the photocall of her new Broadway play Dead Accounts. The actress, who made her Broadway debut four years ago in All My Sons, said she was "really excited to be back". The 33-year-old stars as Lorna, the high-strung sister of a con man whose sudden return home — with millions of dollars in hand — launches his family into a comedic, money-charged frenzy.
"It is really wonderful to be in the rehearsal phase of Dead Accounts, people will laugh and be touched. "She also spoke of her pleasure to be collaborating with playwright Theresa Rebeck. "I'm really excited to be working with Theresa, I think her writing is wonderful because the characters are real and going through things that we as the audience really recognise.
We are very lucky people." Katie, who recently finalised her divorce from Tom Cruise, will share stage with two-time Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz. The new play begins preview performances on November 3 at the Music Box Theatre, with opening night scheduled for November 29.
