Advance ticket sales for Katie Holmes's Broadway debut in All My Sons are far below those for Nicole Kidman's 1998 run in The Blue Room, the New York Post reports.

Less than $1 million in tickets for All My Sons -- which begins previews in September -- have been sold compared to $4 million for Kidman's Broadway stint, according to the paper.

"I've bought 1,000 tickets to the show," a broker told the Post. "I still have them."

(Neither of Tom Cruise's women topped tickets for Julia
Roberts' 2006 show Three Days of Rain, which sold out in one day, the Post reports.)

A show rep tells Usmagazine.com: We dont discuss advance sales.

Furthermore, tickets to see Kidman -- who briefly appeared nude in the show -- went as high as $700 while premium tickets for Holmes' show are netting $300.

"I think if she takes off her clothes, she may catch up!" a Broadway insider joked to the Post.

The paper blames lackluster sales on Cruise's declining popularity since the 1990s. Kidman's debut on Broadway coincided with the release of their controversial flick Eyes Wide Shut and he was touted on mag covers as
the biggest movie star in the world.

"People aren't shelling out $110 for a play anymore," a broker told the
Post. "It doesn't matter who's in it."

    NICOLE IS BY FAR THE BETTER ACTRESS. SHE IS ALSO A WOMAN TO ADMIRE. THE WAY SHE HANDLED THE DIVORCE WAS VERY CLASSY.IT IS ALSO THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO HER.TOM CRUISE IS A NUT JOB.I THINK HE HAS KATIE RAINWASHED.ONE DAY SHE WILL HOPEFULLY WAKE UP AND RUN AWAY AS FAST AS SHE CAN. I CAN NOT IMAGINE BEING HER PARENTS. I WOULD HAVE AN INTERVENTION JUST LIKE PARENTS OF CULT MEMBERS.

    Why is it that people are always compared to exs and the new man or woman in their life? Tom and Nicole have clearly moved on. Who the hell cares about who's better. And for the record, Nicole isn't his recent ex, Penelope Cruz is. Relationships come and go. People need to get over it. They surely did. So why the hell are you people still obsessing? Would you want your mate to obs

    Tom's a great guy. Nicole and Katie are great ladies. I still say he would hve been happier if he had admitted his love for the chubby girls. Everybody knows he's in love with Rosie. I guess Rosie thinks if I ain't got you Tom, I'll just settle for a deadpan female.

    It is completely unfair to compare the two women. Katie Holmes is still formulating her career and Nicole Kidman has established hers even before she became involved with Tom Cruise. I continue to hope that the Holmes/Cruise marriage is the real deal. It appears to be. Let's see where she/they are after she and Tom are married the same number of years her parents are

  • Neither of "Cruise's women?" Kidman is not his woman. She outshown him and outclassed him. Holmes is a Stepford wife and a B grade (if that) actress. There's nothing to compare and no reason to.

    Just because Katie Holmes is married to Tom Cruise doesn't make her a good actress although I think any one married him has to be putting on an act. It's like comparing tofu to prime rib, can't be done.
