Advance ticket sales for Katie Holmes' Broadway debut in All My Sons are far below those for Nicole Kidman's 1998 run in The Blue Room, the New York Post reports.
Less than $1 million in tickets for All My Sons — which begins previews in September – have been sold compared to $4 million for Kidman's Broadway stint, according to the paper.
"I've bought 1,000 tickets to the show," a broker told the Post. "I still have them."
(Neither of Tom Cruise's women topped tickets for Julia
Roberts' 2006 show Three Days of Rain, which sold out in one day, the Post reports.)
A show rep tells Usmagazine.com: “We don’t discuss advance sales.”
Furthermore, tickets to see Kidman — who briefly appeared nude in the show — went as high as $700 while premium tickets for Holmes' show are netting $300.
"I think if she takes off her clothes, she may catch up!" a Broadway insider joked to the Post.

The paper blames lackluster sales on Cruise's declining popularity since the 1990s. Kidman's debut on Broadway coincided with the release of their controversial flick Eyes Wide Shut and he was touted on mag covers as
the biggest movie star in the world.
"People aren't shelling out $110 for a play anymore," a broker told the Post. "It doesn't matter who's in it."

Let's all stop hating Katie.The tabloids disses all the celebs. For those who feel sorry for Katie and want her out of that miserable relationship with that crazyass Tom-whose career is in the toilet.Whew! We should start a "Save Katie Holmes" campaign. Whaddaya think? We shouldn't jump on 'Let's Get Katie Holmes' badwagon and make her feel worse. Katie's already feeling terrible knowing that she's married to Tom - a control freak! She's needs to get out of this relationship while she can.You've seen her photos before she met Tom and current photos. Tell me.. does Katie look happy? NO she doesn't! The cameras don't lie!
Katie Holmes is a wonderful actress and hopefully will seek out more acting opportunity's. But I don't see how anyone can compare Katie to Nicole. Anyway, I hope Katie Holmes makes a big comeback.
why are people interested in talking about her even though these are fake things? you should have known the fake news about her pregnancy and her joining the free interracial dating site called mixed loving . c o m . I can not believe any piece of her news.
oh, please, suri is their child -= she looks like tom. katie is an extremely good actress but not as big a star as nicole (who i think is an albino robot the way she carries herself). timing is off, especially summertime in new york. plus, nicole was nude and it was not the same type of show.
The black roots of Suri’s hair are showing.
Dyeing your kid’s hair just so people won’t notice her features are partly Asian, is not helping
people who like to criticize others, especially celebs or people they don't know, suffer from extreme mental illness and low self-esteem. Possibly manic-depression also. Seek counseling. It's very toxic to be this way.
In the Hot Pics what's up with Suri carrying a $100.00 bill? "Oh the economy's crap and people are struggling to fill their gas tanks but we're so rich we won't be affected. Instead of buying our 2 year old child a ten dollar toy from the store like normal parents we just give her hundreds to play with!"
US MAGAZINE ONLINE IS LESS POPULAR THAN TMZ. I'M JUST SAYING.
This is a DUMB question, you are asking us to compare Nicole to, sorry what is her name again, oh yeah, Katie or is it KATE….hahahaha. This is a funny question. NICOLE IS FAR, FAR, FAR better! KATIE should stop TRYING to act and continue being a stay at home pet. I must commend Tom for being a great trainer.
TOTALLY LOVE NICOLE AND HER MOVIES, YOU GO GIRL!
Katies decline in popularity has got to be because of Tom. Once a to die for "hunk", most people do not like him anymore.
I saw Katie first in the movie "Pieces Of April" She was brillant. Sad to say it's been all down hill since.
Nicole is a famous actress. Katie is a famous wife. Nuff said.
Is that really a fair question? I mean, Of course, Nicole is! She's won Oscars, Golden Globes, a Tony I think? etc. etc. I don't think it has anything to do with Cruise at all.
Katie looks terrible! and Suri needsa haircut from a pic from the other day, they both look sloppy a heck.
HEY SOMEBODY GO GET THE REMOTE FROM TOM...KATIE NEEDS TO MOVE!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA KWAKWAKWAKWA!!!!!!!!!!!
omg!! is that really katie Holmes? she looks like crap!!!!
Haha you know its funny how so many people are enticed by Tom and Katies lives I guess it just makes us feel better if we see them suffer. Anyways ever since she married Tom its been downhill he didn't want her doing Batman Dark Knight which is gonna be a monster hit bigger than the 1st she had a good thing going and yes Mr. Scientolgy man screwed it up. Lets see if Wil Smiths friendship and him defending Tom doesn't come back and bite him on the azzz. In short she had a good thing there for a while but ever since I guess Top gun the cruiser hasn't had a great movie and Katie is just a by product of that. When she finally leaves him oh Shock yes it will end someday she will slowly revive her career maybe Dawsons creek the return.
TV actresses never become A-list movie stars. Aniston is doing OK at box office, but her movies are light comedies. And I think Nicole looks the best of her life these days. And yes, she has creases and wrinkles of 41 year old. You should know that magazine covers are always photoshopped and people look unnatural.
average iq of an us magazine reader = -50
Oh, pleeez. If it wasn't for "Crazy Cruise", Katie would not be on broadway...we all know that. I tell you what...Go home, Katie, and start knitting baby booties, or decorate a room, or go shopping with Victoria...no, better yet, go out and buy more sippy cups for Suri...Honey, you're just "arm candy" for the Cruise missile....
In other words, Nicole wins...hands down....Now on to the next question.........please?????
I am not impressed with either one, or Tom
Shame on you who are ranking on Katie. She doesn't look a day over 50.
And she can act. She obviously fakes it in bed with Tommy Boy.
She deserves an award just for sleeping with that lunatic and putting up with his scientology b.s.
I think Katie should change her hair style. This may be one of the reasons she looks older than she is . She should die her hair or let it grow or use extentions or something . Change it Katie it doesn't suit you. Maddona aka old slut has youthfull look than you have and she is almost 50.
Honestly, I don't like Nicole kidman much and I don't know someone who is a fan of hers. I have seen a few movies of her though I found her to be fine actres.Katie I saw only two movies of hers didn't know much about her until she linked with tom. I saw a lot movies of tom's back in the day when he acted normal but no more.
I disagree with some of you who said katie can't act.I saw some of her movies she is fine in her acting but she needs a lot to mature .The bad thing for her is she over shadowed by Tom's crazy antics and his superstardom. It is hard to break that.
About Nicole kidman... being a wife of Tom Cruise helps her to be famous no denial there. She is also a good actress. Katie is only 29. Nicole is 41. It took Nicole sometime to be where she is.If Katie found that grounded place, She will reach where Nicole is now or at least better than what she is right now. If her Broadway show gets good reviews, there is a chance for her to break if not I don't see how she going to make it.
Katie isn't the best actress...she usually plays the same "Joey Potter" type character. I used to really like her, though. But since she married Tom Cruise she seems to have lost her personality. No one talks about her, except in reference to Tom. In her (rare) interviews alone she only talks about him. I think that's why people aren't responding to her solo project. She seems to lack any appeal. I'll be interested to see how she does though. I think Broadway is a lot harder than film actors assume it is and many of them suffer.
Agree with a lot of the comments of: 9:35PM, but I don't know about the economy. I don't know of any other Broadway shows that are suffering. I think the person quoted in the article may be just making excuses?
Katie Holmes looks like she's in her 40's now...wtf...she hasn't even hit 30 yet
Let's compare:
Nicole Kidman:
claim to fame = films like Moulin Rouge, The Hours, To Die For, The Interpreter, Batman Forever, The Others, Eyes Wide Shut
Awards = 1 Oscar
Katie Holmes:
claim to fame = film Batman Begins and some other films no one remembers and some boring teen drama from the WB
Awards = none
No contest. Kidman wins hands down.
I love, love, love, love Nicole Kidman. I've always been a fan of hers. She's a fantastic actress and she takes risks with all her movie roles. People really started to talk about Nicole after her divorce from Tom, because in reality, it was always known that Tom was holding her back. Tom wanted her to do a movie every now and then, but he really wanted her to stay at home all the time and take care of the children. It was always reported that Tom was jealous of Nicole, especially of her movie rolls, and he even got bitter when she did Broadway, and he really didn't like her co-stars whom were guys, so there was a lot of jealousy lingering. Nicole divorcing Tom was the best thing she could have ever done with her life. She can now live happily with a man whom she doesn't have to compete with, and there's no jealousy there either.
Katie Holmes can't act. Don't get me wrong, I adored her on "Dawson's Creek," but seriously, what kind of role was that? She used to be youthful and happy, and now she's just some robot. You'll see her every so often do a movie, but it'll never be that good and they'll bomb like her latest flick "Mad Money." I think a lot of people would feel different about her, if her midget husband wasn't some nutjob, who constantly would shove his religion down everyone's throat.
I can think of 3 reasons why people aren't rushing to see Katie. 1. Maybe because no one has the desire to see Katie, and they think the same as the rest of us: She can't act, and Nicole Kidman can act. 2. With the way economy is going, people aren't about to shell out $300 for a ticket, and $300 to see Katie Holmes, which goes back to point #1, that she really isn't that special, and people would rather shell out $300 for someone more desirable, like Julia Roberts. 3. Maybe the Broadway play just isn't that good? ... Personally, I'm going with #1 for myself, I have no desire to see Katie, and I wouldn't spend that kind of money on her, especially when she can't act.
