Katie and Tom Ready to Infect NYC

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are set to move to New York.

The Hollywood couple - who recently held a star-studded housewarming party
to celebrate moving into their new $35 million Beverly Hills mansion - will
buy an apartment in Manhattan while Katie prepares to make her Broadway
theatre debut in 'All My Sons'.

The show's producer Eric Falkenstein said: "Katie and Tom are committed to
keeping the family together, so they have to get an apartment here in New
York."

Eric believes Katie - who has a two-year-old daughter Suri with Tom - is
perfect choice to play Ann in the stage adaptation of Arthur Miller's play.

He said: "Katie is not a celebrity type. She has done brilliant work in
films like 'Pieces of April' and 'The Ice Storm'.

"Ann starts out as a simple, sweet, average Midwesterner, and by the finale
gets up the gumption to stand and confront what's wrong.

"Katie is perfect, she is a natural sweetheart who can sniff out phonies ...

Katie basically has that exact moral fiber [of her character in the play]."

Eric also revealed how down-to-earth the former 'Dawson's Creek' actress was
when she first arrived for rehearsals.

He added to the New York Post newspaper: "When she signed on, she came here
to a bare rehearsal room for a read- through. She didn't ask for anything.
She was just sweet and deferential."

Katie makes her Broadway debut in October for a 16-week run.
