Genius filmmaker Guido Contini is having a very messy nervous breakdown. And you're invited!Based on filmmaking legend Federico Fellinis legendary (semi-)autobiographical film 8 1/2, this is a psychoanalytical roller coaster ride through the brain of a troubled, self-doubting genius. Underneath, it's a story about creation and creators, the sacrifices and compromises and demons, and the mysterious, delicate process of making great art.Nine follows Fellini avatar Guido Contini who suffers a monumental breakdown, just as he turns forty and cameras are ready to roll on his next film, which Guido hasnt even written yet. The entire show unfolds inside Guidos frantic, chaotic mind as the many women in his life begin to rebel against his casual use and abuse of them, and as he examines the many relationships in his life. Finally, Guido has to learn the hardest lesson of all for an artist he has to grow up.Frank Rich wrote in The New York Times, In Nine, his most ambitious show, director Tommy Tune provides the strongest evidence yet that he is one of or theaters most inventive directors a man who could create rainbows in a desert. Songwriter Maury Yeston, a newcomer to Broadway, has an imagination that, at its best, is almost Mr. Tunes match. His score, giddily orchestrated by Jonathan Tunick, is a literate mixture of showbiz and operatic musical genres that contains some of the seasons most novel and beautiful songs. Together, Mr. Yeston and Mr. Tune give Nine more than a few sequences that are at once hallucinatory and entertaining dreams that play like showstoppers. Rich went on to say, Theres so much rich icing on Nine that anyone who cares about the progress of the Broadway musical will have to see it.
