NINE

Per la lussuria, di amore, di vita ... essere italiano!
For lust, for love, for life...be Italian!

Celebrated Italian film director Guido Contini is a wreck. Torn between his wife, his mistress, and his muse the star and desperate for a plot for his next film, he runs off to Venice pursued by a bevy of beautiful women, all clamoring to be loved by him and him alone. Rarely will you ever see this many strong, sexy and powerful women assembled onstage at once.

The team that brought Hairspray to Irvington now brings you the hauntingly beautiful, passionate Maury Yeston score (Phantom,Titantic), intriguing flashbacks, sensual, sassy, sexy dance numbers, and romance Italian style!

Based on Fellini’s classic film "8 ½", this Tony-winning Best Musical, is the most eloquent mid-life crisis ever staged.


"Brilliant, daring, innovative and divine."
