33 Variations to Now Close on May 21

New York City
The limited engagement of writer/director Moises Kaufman’s new play 33 Variations at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre will now close on Thursday, May 21, three days earlier than announced. A performance has been added on Monday, May 18.

The play tells the story of Katherine Brandt, who tries to solve a centuries-old mystery about the world’s greatest composer. Katherine’s obsession takes her from present-day New York to 19th century Austria. As the music that consumes Katherine comes to life on stage, she races against time to find common ground with her daughter and to embrace the legacy of her own life.

The cast features Jane Fonda (Katherine Brandt), Don Amendolia (Anton Diabelli), Zach Grenier (Beethoven), Colin Hanks (Mike Clark), Susan Kellermann (Dr. Gertie Ladenburger), Samantha Mathis (Clara Brandt), Erik Steele (Anton Schindler), and Diane Walsh (pianist).

The design team includes Derek McLane (sets), Janice Pytel and David C. Woolard (costumes), David Lander (lighting), André Pluess (sound), Jeff Sugg (projections), and Daniel Pelzig (choreography).
