Once again, it was a mob scene outside the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre on Manhattan's 45th Street Thursday night, as protesters, police and paparazzi gathered for the official opening night of All My Sons, the Arthur Miller play starring Katie Holmes in her first Broadway role.

The actress was able to slip into to the theater around 4:40, several hours before the play — and all the associated hubbub — started. According to show insiders, hubby Tom Cruise was able to slip unnoticed past the anti-Scientology protesters two hours later.

After the show, Katie exited the theater around 9:45 and signed autographs for three minutes before heading to the cast afterparty. 

"It was wonderful," Katie said following her opening night experience. "I’m just glad to be a part of it."

The former Dawson's Creek star's castmates also had kind words to say about the superstar.

"It’s really a pleasure," said All My Sons co-star Danielle Ferland. "She respects people. She’s one of the best people. Katie’s very generous... I think she’s a pro. She hasn’t done a lot of theater, and she’s amazing. It’s unbelievable."
