“I want to be young, but I have to be old...”
Based on the groundbreaking Italian film 8 ½, Nine takes it up (half) a notch by putting the surreal story to music. Famed director Guido Contini, suffering from “director’s block” on his latest film and from a strained marriage to the neglected Luisa, retreats into his mind, where a parade of women—lovers past and present—bombards his senses and throws reality into question. Suffused with a haunting score, the Tony® Award–winning musical blends genres and styles and asks audiences: Can a great artist also be a great lover?
