Are you fairly confident that Shia LaBeouf has completely lost his mind?

A Broadway play spends months, if not years, preparing for its opening night. Scene design, rehearsals, adjustments, etc… so when a lead bails just a month out, it's a serious problem! And that's exactly what bad-boy actor Shia LaBeouf just did to the upcoming play Oprhans. The show, which costars Alec Baldwin, released a statement saying, "Due to creative differences, the producers of Orphans and Shia LaBeouf will be parting ways and he will not be continuing with the production. An announcement on the replacement of the role of Treat will be made shortly." Previews are still schedule to begin on March 19th, with opening night set for April 7th.

Oh Shia, you been weirding us out lately! The whole taking acid for a film, doing the real-life nasty on film, saying you're done with blockbusterswhat's going on with you?!!

Katie Holmes' Broadway Play Axed!

Does every role Katie Holmes play seem like the same character?
Just a month after opening on Broadway, Katie Holmes' play Dead Accounts will close on January 6th, seven weeks before its originally scheduled close of February 24. The show apparently struggled to sell out the Music Box Theater -- actually, even half of it! Last week, the theater sold just 38.1% of the seats… the lowest attendance for ANY show currently on Broadway.

Wah wah! Sorry Katie! That Dawson's Creek reunion is seeming more and more like a good idea!

Katie Holmes Forgot Her Lines On Broadway!

December 24, 2012 | 02:46 PM PST

Filed under: David Letterman, Katie Holmes, Broadway

It's every stage actor's worst nightmare: forgetting your lines! And it happened to none other than Katie Holmes. Currently starring in the Broadway show Dead Accounts, Holmes told David Letterman that she recently forget her lines during a very important part of the play. "Obviously, I know what the point of it is. So, I kind of made my way there," Katie said referencing her ad-libbing.

As a former theater student, I know how totally embarrassing that is! But that's what makes live theater so great.

Would critics have been nicer if the Spice Girls were in their musical?
Theater critics in the U.K. are telling the Spice Girls what they want, what they really, really want… and it's not a Spice Girls musical! Viva Forever!, the musical based on the group's biggest "Girl Power" hits, premiered last night in London and was quickly bashed by the critics. Writing in The Daily Telegraph, Charles Spencer said, "I'll tell you what I wanted, what I really, really wanted — I wanted this terrible show to stop." Another critic wrote, "You would think it would be easy to strap the songs of one of the biggest girl groups in recent history to an exuberant story of girl power to create a worldwide money-making machine. But you would be wrong." Others dubbed the musical as "a prize Christmas turkey" and "tawdry, lazy and unedifying."

OUCH.

Critics Review Katie Holmes' Broadway Play!

December 01, 2012 | 08:59 AM PST

Do you think Tom Cruise will go see Katie Holmes on Broadway?
Dead Accounts had its official opening night on Thursday, and the critics are rather mixed. Tony Award winner Norbet Leo Butz received plenty of praise, and Katie Holmes wasn't totally bashed. One critic said Holmes is "insanely miscast" but does well with the role. Another said "Holmes relies to much on a whiny teenage angst and a guilelessness that worked on TV but lacks nuance onstage." As for the play itself, The Hollywood Reporter says, "Dead Accounts is all surface polish and minimal depth."

And in the Broadway world, where critics routinely bash one performance after another, these reviews are seemingly outstanding! It must be fantastic!

Katie Holmes Loves Boxed Wine!

November 10, 2012 | 01:47 PM PST

Filed under: Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise, Broadway

Is divorcing Tom Cruise the best career move Katie Holmes has ever made?

 

Katie Holmes may be worth a few million and use to the finer things in life, but when it comes to her wine the A-list celeb likes the cheap stuff! Talking with the New York Times about her upcoming Broadway play Dead Accounts, Holmes says, "I still think of myself as Midwestern. I mean, I've had box wine...It's good. And it's a lot easier to open."


Ha! While true it's easier to open, I have to disagree that it's good. The Toledo, Ohio native also opens up about her Midwestern roots saying, "I'm like Lorna (Her character in the play) in that my values guide me in an instinctual way, like, 'That feels weird' or 'I better send a thank you.' Also, the Midwestern work ethic: You do what you do, and you don't talk about it."

 

Love Katie Holmes. Always have, always will. What's your impression of the former Mrs. Tom Cruise?

Would you want to see your favorite movie adopted into a Broadway show?
After grossing $39 million in its opening weekend (On a budget of just $7 million), Channing Tatum's Magic Mike is heading to Broadway! The stripper flick inspired by Tatum's real life will be transformed to the stage by Tatum, along with director Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter/producer Reid Carolin. Recently talking to Entertainment Weekly, Carolin said of the Broadway show, "We want it to be a place where women can scream at the dancers and throw money." As of now, Tatum is apprehensive about starring in the stage adaptation. "I'd need a lot of singing lessons," says Channing.

Isn't Broadway all about family and tourists and Mary Poppins and The Lion King? I guess women will pay $75-200 for a seat where they can throw away even more money at male dancers???
