Broadway Beat's Priceless Spotlight - Rob Marshall on NINE

NINE will have a limited release on December 18th in New York and Los Angeles and will then go on wide release on December 25th. The vibrant and provocative musical production NINE, premiered on Broadway in 1982 to critical acclaim (winning five Tony Awards, including Best Musical), and successfully revived in 2003 (winning another two Tonys, including Best Revival), and is the most hotly anticipated movie of the holiday season, directed by Rob Marshall, and starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Kate Hudson, Fergie (Stacy Ferguson), and Sophia Loren. The Weinstein Company film will include new songs by original composer-lyricist Maury Yeston that were not in previous stage versions.

BroadwayBeat spoke to noted director Rob Marshall about NINE's journey from stage to screen.
