Katie Holmes has an exciting announcement.

After some time away from acting, the Batman Begins actress made the decision to tap into her Broadway roots last year with the revival of Our Town. And the rave reviews she's received from critics and audience goers seems to have paid off—in the form of a Tony nomination that is. Announced Friday, the production is nominated for "Best Revival" at this year’s Tony Awards, which is an exciting update for Holmes and the entire cast.

To celebrate the nomination, the show's official Instagram page shared a clip from one of their recent performances with the caption, "You are pretty enough for all normal purposes. Just what every girl longs to hear. We've been missing this beautiful production that’s now a Tony nominee for Best Revival."

Since opening last September, Our Town has been the talk of the city thanks to its brilliant acting and star power. The official synopsis for the play reads: "In Wilder's timeless tale of a small town, a stage manager narrates the daily lives of its locals, depicts a childhood friendship turning into marriage, and sets the stage for magnificent truths of what it means to be alive. Don't miss this strictly limited engagement of an essential American classic."

The show has also received tons of glowing reviews from critics, with Variety writing in October 2024, "When it comes down to it, Our Town doesn’t have a lot of plot, but it succeeds because it captures the most magnificent part of the human experience—life itself. Its outstanding performances and minimalistic set design by Beowulf Boritt highlight the brevity and magic of being alive."

So, what happens next? Well, the 2025 Tony Awards are slated for June 8, and while I can't guarantee Our Town taking home the win, I can guarantee Katie Holmes looking fabulous on the red carpet.
