Katie Holmes made her Broadway debut last night in a production of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre. Tom Cruise commented on Katie’s performance:
"Did you see it? … It was extraordinary."
Diane Yatauro (54), of Glen Cove, New York, thinks she nailed it. Yaturo commented:
"It was a very tough role in that she had to be delicate and hurt and strong. She was playing against some heavyweights who’ve been around for a long time and she held her own."Another New Yorker Nadja Forbes (35) said she was impressed, and commented:
"She brings this fresh breeze of air not only in her acting but also in her dialogue that kind of breaks up the seriousness of what’s going on. I’m actually surprised that she’s, you know, enough of an actress for being on Broadway."
Although Katie’s performance received a lot of praise, an anti-scientology group called Anonymous protested outside. A group of about 20 protesters, some of whom wore V for Vendetta masks, shouted "Save Katie," and held up signs that read:
"We are protesting Scientology. It is evil. Scientology kills people. It follows you home at night. It is perverted.”
Protesting outside Katie’s Broadway debut may not have been the most appropriate forum, but they only showed up because the media doesn’t cover their protests outside Scientology headquarters much anymore.
In other news, Scientology might be banned in France, because France considers Scientology a cult and not a religion.
Anonymous claims Scientology is a cult that uses harassment and intimidation to scare people, which is why France is trying to ban Scientology. In the video below Scientology volunteers passed out flyers with real pictures, real names, and real home addresses of members of the protest group Anonymous. I have a feeling Dr. Evil from Austin Powers was based on a real person. Right Tom?
