October 17, 2008: There are four names above the title in the ads for the baleful new Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's "All My Sons." Three of them are reasonably well known to the regular theater and moviegoers

It's not about Katie Holmes. Or even John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest or Patrick Wilson, for that matter.
READ THE REVIEW
Ever since word got out that Katie Holmes would appear in a revival of All My Sons, the blogosphere has been buzzing. Celebrity junkies who probably haven't thought about Arthur Miller since reading the CliffsNotes for Death of a Salesman in high school are dying to know how Mrs. Tom Cruise will fare in her Broadway debut.
READ THE REVIEW
Pairing Arthur Miller's probing social realism with Brit director Simon McBurney's multidisciplinary experimental approach was a gamble, but the payoff in "All My Sons" is considerable. The first Broadway revival of the playwright's work since his death in 2005, the production balances theatrical artifice with heightened emotion, seeding anxiety deep in the collective pit of the audience's stomach and then amplifying it steadily until the shattering final scene.
READ THE REVIEW
Everything that Arthur Miller was to become can be seen in embryo in "All My Sons," his first hit, which ran for nine months on Broadway in 1947 and has now returned there in a revival graced -- if that's the word -- by the presence of Katie Holmes.
READ THE REVIEW
Breathtaking performances by John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest, Patrick Wilson, and, yes, Katie Holmes in the revival of Arthur Miller's profoundly moving 1947 play All My Sons instantly tag the production at the Gerald Schoenfeld as an absolute must-see.
READ THE REVIEW
The curiosity about the Broadway revival of "All My Sons" has been boosted by Katie Holmes (who holds her own), but it's John Lithgow and Dianne Wiest who command your attention in this striking new production.
