This Tony Award®–winning Best Musical, suffused with an award-winning score by Maury Yeston and book by Arthur Kopit, is based on the groundbreaking Federico Fellini film 8½. The spectacular musical adaptation features one man and the dozens of women in his life. Celebrated but impulsive film director Guido Contini, succumbing to the pressures of filming his latest epic, suffers a midlife crisis. One by one, women from his past and present—including his mother, his wife, his mistress, and his leading lady—haunt, instruct, scold, seduce, and encourage him.

Nine includes musical direction by Lily Ling, scenic design by Tony Award® winner Derek McLane, lighting design by Cory Pattak, costume design by Alejo Vietti, projection design by Paul Tate DePoo III, sound design by Haley Parcher, and wig design by Tom Watson.
