Nine
justjohn follows last year’s sell-out production of ‘Oliver!’ with a rare UK staging of the original version of the Oscar nominated musical ‘Nine’. This cinematic, haunting masterpiece shows the fictional struggles of legendary Italian film director Guido Contini as he battles a personal and creative crisis. A succession of talented, beautiful, seductive women surround this troubled genius as he struggles with the ever-decreasing circles of his floundering existence and relives an unattainable past, recalled only through music. Maury Yeston’s score is lush, soaring and stylish; the production is a feast of colour, costume and dancing.

Faced with writer’s block and a looming deadline for his new film, Guido Contini has a problem…and it’s too late to back out. Now he must balance the demands of his mistress, wife, leading lady, producer, and the hoards of beautiful women clamouring to be loved by him and him alone. Retreating into his past, he finds the inspiration to make his new film, and to face the world.
