Holmes and her castmates discussed the play in front of a live audience on Thurs. Oct. 25, where Holmes seemed to channel Suri, her 6-year-old with ex-husband Tom Cruise, making a range of over-the-top expressions — grumpy, menacing, giggly and more.

“I thought it would be so challenging. Because I was so young when I started working, I was always trying to catch up,” the former Dawson’s Creek star explained of taking the role.

And Holmes added that she’s thrilled to play such a fierce female in her post-divorce comeback.

“Finally I get to yell! What I really loved about this character was she’s strong underneath it all,” she explained. I like her values, I like that she’s trying to figure it all out and really cares for her family.”
