NINE
NINE
Music and Lyrics by Maury Yeston Book by Arthur Kopit
Lights. Camera. Crisis.
Guido Contini, Italy’s most celebrated filmmaker, is out of ideas. With his next film looming and his personal life in freefall, he’s haunted by the women who have defined his past and now hold the key to his future—his wife, mistress, muse, and mother.
Inspired by Federico Fellini’s film 8½, Nine is a Tony Award-winning musical that blends dazzling sequences with the glamour and chaos of 1960s Italy. Directed by Dean Drieberg (Hamilton), this eye-catching production is a love letter to la dolce vita—in all its beauty and complexity.
With stunning choreography and a powerhouse ensemble, Nine promises emotional insight and theatrical delight.
When your life becomes your art, who pays the price?
