Katie Holmes recalls embarrassing moment occurred mid scene of her act
Katie Holmes recalled an embarrassing moment that occurred live onstage, leaving her flustered
In a recent chat on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon aired on November 27, the 45-year-old actress shared insights into her pre-show activities while unveiling details of her role as Mrs. Webb in Our Town‘s Broadway revival.
“One time I didn’t do it, and I was in the middle of a scene and I just said the whole line except the last word, and I couldn’t remember it,” Holmes recalled.
“I made something up but it didn’t make sense,” the actress continued. “And then I got so red because Jim Parsons, who’s delightful, he’s onstage most of the time because he’s the stage manager. And so I’m like, ‘Oh my God. Jim knows. He’s watching. And Ephraim [Sykes] knows because I was saying it to him, and then Richard Thomas. Oh God.’ ”
Holmes recounted feeling overwhelmed in the moment and hurrying to finish the scene.
“[I] got off stage, and Jim gave me a hug after,” Holmes noted. “He was like, ‘I’ve never seen anyone say their lines so fast and remove themselves.’ “
“And nobody cared, but I cared,” she added. “I’m like, ‘This is Broadway!’ ”
