Plot:
Nine is a musical with a book by Arthur Kopit and music and lyrics by Maury Yeston. The story is based on an Italian play by Mario Fratti inspired by Federico Fellini's autobiographical film 8½. It focuses on film director Guido Contini, savoring his most recent (and greatest) success but facing his fortieth birthday and a midlife crisis blocking his creative impulses and entangling him in a web of romantic difficulties in early-1960s Venice.

The televisions tuned to the Corny Collins Show are black-and-white, but the featured dancers on the early-1960s Baltimorean bandstand are all white—except on its once-a-month “Negro Day,” when they’re all black.
But if the plucky and, yes, “pleasantly plump” Tracy Turnblad (newcomer Nicole Blonsky) had anything to say about it, the show she rushes home after school to dance along to would become a frugging frontrunner of racial integration.
