LET'S hope her stage chops are still in shape.
After a 46-year hiatus, Jane Fonda is returning to Broadway in the spring.
The Oscar-winning actress will star in "33 Variations," a new play written and
directed by Moises Kaufman ("The Laramie Project," "Gross Indecency").
Fonda will play a musicologist who travels to the Beethoven archives in
Germany to unravel the mystery surrounding the composer's enigmatic "Diabelli
Variations," only to discover she has a fatal illness.
Fonda last appeared on Broadway in a 1963 revival of Eugene O'Neill's
"Strange Interlude."
She was not one of my favorites.
