Nine - A musical written by Maury Yeston - is based on the life, world and mind of eccentrically imaginative film director FEDERICO FELLINI.

Ultimately the blurring of the boundaries between reality and fantasy heighten our awareness of both and, for me, makes NINE especially innovative and challenging.
Most productions of NINE are performed with one leading man, 14 women and three young boys. Some roles could be played by either sex, so men, please feel free to audition. NINE is very much an ensemble piece; all characters are on stage at all times and re-enact numerous characters in different fantasies of Guido's
