BroadwayWorld Congratulates Roger Robinson, 2009 Tony Award Winner, 'Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play'

BroadwayWorld Presents The 2009 Tony Award Nominees: 'Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play'

It's a known fact that actors like to talk. Stereotypically, they like to talk about themselves: about their latest endeavors, about their past performances and about their upcoming projects. Zach Grenier is a different kind of actor. He likes to talk about Ludwig Van Beethoven. The fact that he's currently playing the composer in Moisés Kaufman's brilliant play entitled 33 VARIATIONS has him talking about the play, too. It's a very special production and it's brought Jane Fonda back to Broadway after 43 years in film, television and activism. Still it is obvious that Grenier is in love with the art of acting and enjoys discussing his current project and the musical giant he portrays in it.

Beethoven, As I Knew Him will be performed in Tucson from April 8 -27, 2009 and in Phoenix from May 7 - 24, 2009.
