Katie Holmes' opening night of 'All my Sons' at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in New York was picketed by around 20 demonstrators urging the actress to quit Scientology.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Actress Katie Holmes won praise for her debut on Broadway on Thursday night, where she was cheered on by actor husband Tom Cruise and shouted at by anti-Scientology protesters outside the theater.
The drama started before the curtains went up in the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater with a group of about 20 protesters, some masked, chanting "Scientology is a cult" and "Free Katie", according to the New York Daily News.
Inside Cruise, star of "Mission: Impossible" and one of the best known members of the Church of Scientology, was the main attraction, swarmed by fans and agreeing to pose for photos, overshadowing Dustin Hoffman who was also present.
But once the real action started on stage, Holmes proved herself to be worthy of her co-stars, Tony winner John Lithgow, Oscar winner Dianne Wiest and Patrick Wilson, in Arthur Miller's classic "All My Sons", according to press reports.
"She was extraordinary," Cruise said with pride following two standing ovations for the cast, according to The Daily News.
Katie was "actually pretty good. She has her hands on her hips a lot like she's posing for pictures and she projects her voice a bit too much, but she's a good actress," one audience member told OK! magazine.
Previews for the play began on Thursday but the official opening is October 16.
Holmes, 29, shot to fame on the U.S. television series "Dawson's Creek" before marrying actor Cruise with whom she has a daughter Suri.
Most recently she starred in box office flop "Mad Money".
It would have been the ultimate tabloid irony: After countless stories predicting doom for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, they break up during a week in which their supposed relationship issues aren't featured on a single glossy cover.
On Thursday, spurious reports began flying that the most famous/fabulous/fertile flames on the planet had -- say it ain't so! -- called it quits.
The speculation was apparently kick-started by the recent dearth of sightings of the knee-deep-in-dirty-diapers duo out and about together.
But before anyone even had a chance to cry to the heavens, "But what will become of poor little Maddox, and Pax, and Zahara, and Shiloh, and 2-month-old twins Vivienne and Knox?" the rift rumblings were summarily shot down.
Angelina's rep assures "Entertainment Tonight" that the Jolie-Pitts remain domestically blissed out, dismissing the split talk as "absolutely not true."

Us says the entire clan chowed down together Thursday morning, enjoying a "big breakfast" al fresco at their $70 million French chateau, where they've been holed up since the spring.
(By the way, the chateau is the setting for one of the only tabloid tales this week, with Star dubbing it a "pigpen castle" and a source saying, "It's actually pretty disgusting. Every room looks like a war zone.")
While Jolie has remained out of sight in recent weeks, Pitt has been jumping time zones to promote "Burn After Reading," hitting both the Venice Film Festival (with Maddox, 7, and Pax, 4, in tow) and the Toronto Film Festival.
"Everyone is healthy," he said in Toronto (via People). "No sleep though ... Sleep is something you long for, but it's all right. We'll get it."
When a reporter asked whether he and Jolie had any plans to work together again, the actor responded, "Angie and I are working together every day, I guarantee you."
Jolie will be back in the spotlight later this month as she begins stumping for "The Changeling," the Clint Eastwood-directed drama that's already earning her Oscar buzz.
Her stylist recently told People that she "feels some pressure" to find the actress just the right outfit for the film's Oct. 4 premiere, which will mark her first time on the red carpet since delivering the double bundles.
In between taking care of his brood and maintaining his spot at the top of the A-list, Pitt has been busy doing that do-gooder thing he and Jolie do so well -- and infecting unsuspecting fans in the process.
On Wednesday, he donated $100,000 to help defeat an initiative that would ban same-sex marriages in California, a contribution that came just a few days after he and Angelina gave $2 million to the Global Health Committee to fund a children's clinic in Ethiopia that will be named after Zahara.
