Book by Arthur Kopit, Music and Lyrics by Maury Yeston
Synopsis:“Nine” (with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston and script by Arthur Kopit) is based on the Federico Fellini’s 1963 film 81/2. It tells the story of film director Guido Contini, who dreading his imminent 40th birthday and facing a midlife crisis, must navigate his way through a creative block and a web of romantic difficulties. Guido’s wife Luisa, has threatened to divorce him unless he spends more attention to the marriage, which is difficult to do when his saucy mistress, Carla, keeps showing up at the most inconvenient times! In an attempt to find peace and inspiration, Guido, takes his wife on a trip to Venice. As Guido struggles to find his creative muse, he starts to lose track of what is fantasy and what is reality! It doesn’t help that Carla arrives in Rome to provide naughty distractions. Guido must come to terms with all the women in his life, both past and present. As he tries to create a new masterpiece, Guido must face the ultimate decision of life and death.
