Description:

Nine is based on Federico Fellini's semi-autobiographical film 8 1/2. It focuses on film director Guido Contini dreading his 40th birthday and a midlife crisis blocking his creative impulses and entangling him in a web of romantic difficulties. Fellini had entitled his film 8 1/2 in recognition of his prior body of work, which included six full-length films, two short films, and one film that he co-directed. Maury Yeston's (Music and Lyrics) title for the musical adaptation adds another half-credit to Fellini's output. Yeston called the musical Nine, explaining that if you add music to 8 1/2, "it's like half a number more.”
