The actress is staying in her adopted home of New York City to star in the opening run of the new Broadway play Dead Accounts, a comedy from Theresa Rebeck, the creator and former head-writer of the NBC musical series, Smash. She plays Lorna, the sister of a con-man played by two-time Tony winner for Best Actor in a Musical, Norbert Leo Butz, and the two display some fantastic chemistry (if not balance) in the first video preview of the show posted online.

Director Jack O'Brien, himself a three-time Tony winner, raves about both of his stars, calling Holmes "a multi-layered, very sophisticated young woman," with whom he is very excited to work.
