On Broadway
For the first time in its history, D.C.-based Arena Stage has two of its shows moving to Broadway at the same time.
“33 Variations,” which premiered at Arena in September of 2007, recently opened for previews on Broadway, with Jane Fonda in the lead role.
And “Next to Normal,” which had its second staging at Arena from November to January, takes its entire cast to the Longacre Theatre in New York.
“This moment shows the true promise and range of Arena’s new work in addition to our commitment to American writers and artists,” said Artistic Director Molly Smith.
