Suri Cruise landed the starring role in her high school play.

Suri landed the leading role of Morticia Addams in her New York City school's production of The Addams Family: A New Musical, a news publication reported.

While some critics are quick to judge the teenager for potentially being handed the role because of her parents, the famous offspring stayed humble throughout post-production and didn't even acknowledge her mom or dad — the latter of whom she's reportedly been estranged from since Tom's 2012 split from Katie — in the show's playbill.

"She was amazing," one attendee at the high school musical admitted to the news publication after watching the senior's performance.

At the time, Katie explained why she decided to stick with blood when choosing who she wanted to sing at the start of her film.

"She said she would do it and she recorded it, and I let her do her thing," Katie continued. "That’s the way I direct in general: It’s like, 'This is what I think we all want — go do your thing.'"

Suri's enchanting vocals were additionally used during Holmes' movie Rare Objects, a film she also directed, produced, wrote and starred in. (The production was filmed in fall 2021, though it wasn't released until 2023.)
