Katie Holmes’ Broadway play ‘Dead Accounts’ to close Jan. 6 after poor reviews

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Katie Holmes’ return to Broadway will be much shorter than she would have liked.

The former Mrs. Cruise’s play “Dead Accounts” will close within a week of the new year. Producers said Thursday that Theresa Rebeck’s drama will close on Jan. 6 after 27 previews and 44 performances.

The show, which opened to poor reviews on Nov. 29, stars Norbert Leo Butz as Holmes’ onstage brother who returns to his Midwest home with a secret. Rebeck created the first season of NBC’s “Smash” and several well-received plays including “Seminar” and “Mauritius.”

Holmes, who became a star in the teen soap opera “Dawson’s Creek,” made her Broadway debut in the 2008 production of “All My Sons.” She was married to Tom Cruise from 2006 until this year.
