Full casting has been announced for writer/director Moisés Kaufman’s 33 Variations, which will play the Center Theatre Group’s Ahmanson Theatre, January 30-March 6, with an opening on February 9.

The production will star two-time Academy Award-winner Jane Fonda, who is reprising her Tony-nominated role from the Broadway production of the play in 2009, as well as Zach Grenier, Samantha Mathis, Don Amendolia, Susan Kellermann, Greg Keller, Grant James Varjas, Scott Barrow and Caitlin O’Connell.

In 33 Variations, the audience is transported back and forth from present-day New York to 19th-century Austria, as a musicologist (Fonda) is determined to solve the musical mystery of why Beethoven (Grenier) spent his last years feverishly writing 33 variations of what appeared to be a mediocre waltz created by his publisher.
