Back to work! Katie Holmes returns to Broadway after a quiet Christmas 'without daughter Suri'

Back to work: A smiling Katie Holmes returned to work on Wednesday after spending a quiet Christmas without daughter Suri

It was Katie Holmes' first Christmas as a singleton since her divorce from Tom Cruise six months ago.
But if the star, 33, was feeling down beat she certainly didn't let it show as she stepped out in New York on Wednesday.
Katie - ever the professional - put on a brave face and smiled determinedly as she arrived for work the day after Christmas.

What a pro: The 33-year-old smiles gamely at the waiting photographers and fans as she arrives at work

Tom revealed on December 10 that he would be spending Christmas Day with Suri, six, and his older children Bella, 20, Connor, 17.
'We have got lots of very special things planned [for the holidays],' he said. 'We are all going to be together. I am looking forward to it.'
Surie also spent Thanksgiving with her Mission: Impossible star dad in London, according to reports.

Lonely: It must be difficult for Katie not have Suri for Christmas. The pair are inseparable and are spotted out and about together almost every single day

Katie, 34, is currently starring in the play Dead Accounts at the Music Box Theatre in the Big Apple and as she arrived for another night treading the boards she looked friendly and calm ahead of her performance.
Dressed in blue jeans and a dark blue coat Katie looked wholesome and younger than her years.

So close: Though Suri lives with Katie full time in NY at the moment Tom tries to see her as often as he can. Pictured together in July

It is not clear yet what her privileged youngster got for Christmas but speculation has been rife for weeks.
Suri is rumoured to have received a $24,000 Grand Victorian Playhouse complete with running water and electricity, a sun-room, an eat-in-kitchen, a media room and intercoms can connect the playhouse to the main house.
