It has just been confirmed that Katie Holmes will be appearing on So You Think You Can Dance as part of celebrations for the show’s 100th episode, which will be aired on July 23. She will appear in a song and dance tribute to Judy Garland.
Rumors of this appearance hit the web when Katie was captured on film in dance gear at the CBS studio in LA. “She absolutely adores dancing as does her daughter,” according to executive producer Nigel Lythgoe. He also claimed that both Katie and her daughter Suri, 3, have been visiting the show’s dress rehearsals for a couple of years now.
Recently, Holmes has been rehearsing herself, sometimes until 11:30 p.m. — with breaks to be with Suri, Lythgoe says. The rehearsals are taking place on a New York street scene designed for the number. The set has been lit by famed cinematographer Dion Beebe, while the direction and choreography is done by Tyce Diorio.
Inspired by Garland’s song “Get Happy” from the 1950s musical Summer Stock, Holmes will wear “the jacket, the little hat,” Lythgoe says. “It’s just an iconic look. And Katie Holmes has got the legs. Wow!”
Husband Tom Cruise has often been at hand to show support for Katie. “It was great to see the sort of family bond,” Lythgoe says. “It was beautiful to see!”
Adds Lythgoe: “It was the pride in Tom’s eyes, which I liked. I think we all stood around and felt very proud.”
