The New York Daily News reported on Sunday that Suri attended a screening of her mother’s play.
The publication reported that Suri was the first audience member to jump to his feet, as well as dermatologist Dr. Kenneth Mark and divorce attorney Ken Jewell, when Holmes emerged to take her bow.
Katie will soon visit Suri at her new school, Carnegie Mellon University, DailyMail.com has learned.
That actress squeezes the visit between performances of her Broadway play Our Town at the Barrymore Theater on 47th Street in NYC.
She finds a way to plan a visit somewhere, a source tells DailyMail.com.
Meanwhile, Holmes is doing well with her play. Katie plays Mrs. Webb in the new production of the Broadway play Our Town.
Katie has been receiving rave reviews online for her performance, being called ‘phenomenal’ and ‘amazing’.
Our Town β a play written by Thornton Wilder β returns to the Broadway stage for the first time in more than twenty years.
The revival features a total of 28 actors, including Holmes, Jim Parsons, Zoey Deutch, Ephraim Sykes, Julie Halston and Michelle Wilson.

This sighting follows a visit home from college by Suri Cruise
The premise follows the “timeless story of a small town” in which “a director narrates the daily lives of locals, depicts a childhood friendship that turns into marriage, and sets the stage for beautiful truths about what it means to be alive,” according to the official Broadway website.
Previews began on Tuesday, September 17 at the Barrymore Theater with opening night on October 10. The show runs until January 19, 2025.
Suri began classes at CMU on August 26.
Papa Tom Cruise is DailyMail.com raised the money to send her to college.
That’s because in 2012, when he divorced Katie after six years of marriage, it was decided he would have to pay for all her schooling.
The divorce documents revealed that Tom pays Suri’s expenses, including “medical, dental, insurance, educational, college and other extracurricular expenses.”
βTom does pay for Suri’s school fees, he has always paid for her education and would never stop because he is a stand-up guy,β a friend of Tom’s told DailyMail.com. Annual tuition at CMU is $65K.
βHe has never hesitated to pay his daughter’s child support and expenses. He doesn’t go back on his word. He is fulfilling his obligation.β
And it also comes after Holmes received good reviews for her role in the Broadway play Our Town. Here is Katie on stage with Richard Thomas who played on The Waltons and Ozark

It’s strange to think that Tom is paying Suri considering they haven’t been photographed together in over a decade.
Their last snapshot together in public was in April 2013.
Suri hinted that she is not on good terms with her father when she changed her last name from Cruise to Noelle.
Noelle is Katie’s middle name.
Katie has hinted that Suri may study acting and dance at Carnegie Mellon. Holmes told Town & Country magazine that her daughter wants to go into showbiz after college.
Both Katie and Suri’s father Tom have been in the industry since their early twenties.
The magazine claimed that Suri “would be interested in pursuing a career in fashion or acting.” That doesn’t sound strange; Suri starred in a high school production of The Addams Family.

And Katie has already put Suri to work in two of her films.
Suri contributed vocals to songs in two of Holmes’ films: the 2023 drama Rare Objects and the 2022 romantic drama Alone Together.
βI’m proud of my daughter,β Holmes told Town & Country of her daughter.
‘Of course I will miss the closeness, but I am really proud of her and I am happy.’
Holmes, in conversation with Glamour said in April 2023 that she has tried to encourage Suri’s performance in her projects.
βI hope she always does something about my films,β Holmes said. “I always ask her.”
Holmes said that “both experiences came from the same sense of what I love about our industry, which is: you have these projects and you become a family of people.”
