A 1982 musical adaptation of Federico Fellini's classic ''[[8½|Eight and A Half]]''. ''Nine'' was conceived by librettists Arthur Kopit and Mario Fratti, and songwriter Maury Yeston. The story is that of world-famous film writer/director Guido Contini, a man who's facing a midlife crisis on many fronts as he turns forty. On one hand, he can't come up with a script for his latest film. On another hand, his marriage to his wife Luisa is on shaky ground. Factor in the ''other women'' in his life, including his mistress, his confidant and costume designer, his film star muse, and his mother, and Guido's [[Man Child|got]] [[Casanova|some]] issues.
Line 15:
Not to be confused with the film ''[[9]]'', which came out three months before Nine's film version was released.
