WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Inspired by Fellini's 8 1/2, Nine revolves around central character Guido Contini, a film director in the Fellini mold. Unable to think of a suitable plot for a film he is contracted to write and direct, Guido drifts toward a nervous breakdown. As he examines his past flawed relationships with the many women who have come through his life, Guido struggles to act his mature age of 40 as opposed to nine. With a book by Arthur Kopit and music and lyrics by Maury Yeston, the show features an adaptation from Italian by Mario Fratti. David Levaux directs for the Roundabout Theatre Company.
Winner of the 2003 Tony Award, Drama Desk Award and Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Revival of a Musical!

Nine will never be a 10. Such razzle-dazzle, so much bracing music, so many show-stopping opportunities for the right performers. But at its heart, the 1982 musical by Arthur Kopit (book) and Maury Yeston (score) is heartless -- and pretty much bookless, too. The existential angst of its protagonist, Felliniesque film director Guido Contini, is just a pretense, an excuse to saturate the stage with the pulchritudinous contents of Guido's cranium. It's not a pretty sight, for Guido is one of the most callow and unlikable heroes in the musical-comedy canon: self-centered, self-pitying, sexist, infantile, and a lying bastard. If you're going to whip up any empathy for this whining prima donna [...]
