Jane Fonda Back On Broadway
Nov 3, 2008Academy Award winner Jane Fonda will return to Broadway for the first time in 46 years. Fonda will star in “33 Variations,” a play by Moises Kaufman about a present-day musicologist and her study of Beethoven’s fascination with a particular piece of music. The play, which is being directed by Kaufman, will feature an on-stage pianist and is described as “a feast for the senses and the spirit.”
“I am very excited about being in Moises’ new play,” Fonda said in a statement. “I can’t wait to get back on stage with him in this role that I understand so well. It’s been 40-some years.”
Fonda made her Broadway debut in 1960 in the play “There Was a Little Girl,” for which she earned a Tony Award nomination. Her last appearance on Broadway was in the 1963 drama “Strange Interlude.”
“33 Variations” will open this winter at a theater and date to be determined.
