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."
