NY1 recently caught up with some high-profile Hollywood performers who are behind new projects slated to open on Broadway within the next few weeks. NY1’s Roma Torre filed the following report.

Academy Award-winning actress Jane Fonda, who was last seen on film in “Georgia Rule,” will return to Broadway’s stages for the first time in over 40 years. The play, Moises Kaufman’s “33 Variations,” is inspired by Ludwig Von Beethoven, which struck a familiar chord in Fonda.

“I happened to be writing about Beethoven, the fact that like many great artists he did his best work later in life when he was physically-challenged, and I got this play about Beethoven later in life, when he was physically-challenged,” says Fonda. “And a musicologist [played by] myself [is] on a quest to discover why he did what he did.”

  • "At age 50, I broke all the career rules and left acting for 15 years. Ten of those years I was married to Ted Turner and after that I spent 5 years writing my memoirs and traveling the world on behalf of women and girls. Needless to say, returning to my profession late in life has been an interesting, exciting and unusual experience! "Monster-in-Law" was my first film after this hiatus and was one of my most fun professional experiences after "9 to 5"! During my 15 year absence, I gained confidence and, as a result, I feel that my acting is better, more nuanced and relaxed than ever."
