Porchlight Music Theatre Chicago presents
Nine

Previews: 4/4/08 ,  4/5/08
Opens: 4/6/08   Closes: 5/18/08

This spectacular winner of the 1982 Tony Award for Best Musical delighted Broadway theatergoers in a hit revival in 2003. Based on Fellini's classic film “8 ½,” Nine is the story of a famous film director and his attempts to come up with a plot for his next film as he is pursued by hordes of beautiful women, all clamoring to be loved by him and him alone.

Flashbacks reveal the substance of his life—which will become the material for his next film —a musical version of the Casanova story.
