February 9th marked the opening night for the five-time Tony nominated production of '33 Variations' with Jane Fonda at the Center Theatre Group/Ahmanson Theatre. '33 Variations,' written and directed by Moisés Kaufman, continues through March 6, 2011. Watch the coverage of opening night at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles below!

Moises Kaufman has created a hypnotic dramedy with music called 33 Variations, that spans two centuries. Parallel: in 1822, Composer Ludwig Van Beethoven's (Zach Grenier) hearing was slowly deteriorating and in 2011, musicologist Dr. Katherine Brandt (Jane Fonda) is physically deteriorating from the devastating effects of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) or Lou Gehrig's Disease: both struggle against time for the sake of art. Jutting back and forth in time, Kaufman's play exudes astounding compassion for the human condition.

The five-time Tony-nominated production of '33 Variations,' with Jane Fonda, opened February 9, 2011, at 8 p.m. at the CTG/Ahmanson Theatre. Written and directed by Moisés Kaufman, performances continue through March 6 for this compelling new piece.
