Nine is the story of a celebrated film director Guido Contini 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
Nine has also been adapted into a major motion picture from Rob Marshall, the acclaimed director of the 2002 film version of Chicago
Of the Broadway musical, Marshall said it is " ... a sumptuous and emotional work that translates naturally to the film musical genre because of its seamless relationship between fantasy and reality"
