NINE is based on Italian director Federico Fellini's classic film "8 ½". Set in early 1960s, the wonderful musical follows a celebrated Film director, Guido Contini, who is suffering from a mid-life crisis and an artistic mentAl Block. He runs off to a Spa in Venice, pursued by a bevy of women all clamoring for his love and attention. Guido finds himself examining his past flawed relationships with the many women who have come through his life and the struggle to act his mature age of 40--as opposed to nine. The original screenplay, on which this musical is based, is said to be auto-biographical of the great film director Federico Fellini himself. The Musical has intriguing flashbacks, sexy song-and-dance numbers, and romance Italian style! The score by Maury Yeston, of PHANTOM fame, is filled with haunting melodies and musically and vocally challenging ensemble singing. The original 1982 production, starring Raul Julia, won eight Drama Desk Awards and five Tony Awards, including best musical and best original score as well as a Best Director nod for Tommy Tune. A 2003 revival of the musical led by Antonio Banderas, won two Tony Awards. An adaptation of the Musical NINE is now a major motion picture starring Daniel Day-Lewis.
