Katie Holmes Reflects on Broadway Return and Onstage Mishap in 'Our Town'

The actress shares her experiences performing in the revival of Thornton Wilder's classic play, including a moment she forgot her lines mid-scene.

Katie Holmes is starring as Mrs. Webb in the Broadway revival of Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, 'Our Town,' directed by Kenny Leon.
During a recent appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,' Holmes recounted forgetting a line mid-performance and improvising, which left her flustered but supported by her castmates, including Jim Parsons.
Holmes described her detailed pre-show rituals, including multiple line reviews and a visit to a favorite local Starbucks, whose staff has become part of her routine.
The production, which opened on October 10, 2024, at the Barrymore Theatre, has been praised by critics, with Holmes receiving positive reviews for her performance.
This marks Holmes' return to Broadway after more than a decade, with her last stage appearance in 2012's 'Dead Accounts.'
