Based on the groundbreaking Italian film 8 ½, Nine follows famed director Guido Contini, suffering from “director’s block” on his latest film and from a strained marriage to the neglected Luisa, as he retreats into his mind, where a parade of women—lovers past and present—bombards his senses and throws reality into question.
Directed and choreographed by Kennedy Center Honoree and three-time Tony® winner Andy Blankenbuehler!
Nine will star Steven Pasquale (The Bridges of Madison County, Broadway Center Stage: Guys and Dolls) as Guido Contini, Shereen Ahmed (My Fair Lady) as Claudia, three-time Tony® nominee Carolee Carmello (1776, Parade) as Liliane La Fleur, Sasha Hutchings (Oklahoma!, Hamilton) as Our Lady of the Spa, Lesli Margherita (Matilda, Dames at Sea) as Saraghina, Academy Award® and Tony® nominee Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (Man of La Mancha, Scarface) as Guido’s Mother, Jen Sese (Hamilton, Hair) as Stephanie Necrophorus, Tony® nominee Elizabeth Stanley (Jagged Little Pill, On the Town) as Luisa Contini, and Michelle Veintimilla (The Visit, Gotham) as Carla Albanese.
