Jane Fonda and the Cast of 33 Variations – Broadway’s Easter Bonnet Skit

Jane Fonda and the cast of 33 Variations perform the skit “Voluntary Rehearsal” in the Broadway Cares Easter Bonnet Competition on April 28th, 2009.
The Broadway production of 33 Variations won both Best Bonnet and Best Presentation. Adding to its triumph was the fact that the drama collected $183,546, the most of any Broadway play or musical, and the all-time record for a non-musical.

33 Variations was helped by its star, Jane Fonda, who not only led the nightly fundraising at the theatre, but also led her cast at Easter Bonnet in the winning skit, “Voluntary Rehearsal,” by Michael Winther, Don Amendola and the company. At the climax of the skit, Fonda threw off a fur coat to reveal scarlet togs from her exercise video days and, still looking fit, led her cast in a mini workout as the crowd cheered. Fonda also introduced David Masenheimer’s winning bonnet, a bouquet of sheet music gathered with a musical staff, which demonstrated the ability to fire off volleys of ticker tape. The bonnet was modeled by Zach Grenier, who plays Beethoven in the show.
