NINE B'way 2003

[@christopherbush9027]

Nine is one of my all time favorite scores and this revival was simply stunning from start to finish. I’ve always loved how the musical took such brilliant source material and transcended it. And this cast!!! Oh Spiderwoman - this show makes my heart sing! Thank you so so so much!!!

[@chocolatesouljah]

Jane Krakowski's entrance was the talk of the town. The whole scene!

[@scottishphotographer]

AND her exit! She gave an extraordinary performance.

[@chocolatesouljah]

Christopher Bowen absolutely! Not long after this Beyoncé made a similar entrance at an event but I cannot remember the name of. And it got a lot of press. And I kept thinking Jane did it better and Jane did it eight times a week! No disrespect to Beyoncé who I like.

[@jscho8674]

My dear Miss Spiderwoman. You bring so much joy to my life with your treasures!

[@auroraspiderwoman5886]

What a nice thing to say--I appreciate it.

[@FolliesFan-yu8mf]

Ahh, Ms Rivera's voice at 1:23... like hearing the comforting voice of a friend you haven't seen in a while. Lovely clip, thank you!

[@gregorywiederecht]

All the more impressive, because it cuts through the wall of sopranos! It pays to have a distinctive voice

[@FolliesFan-yu8mf]

@@gregorywiederecht Exactly!

[@chocolatesouljah]

You took the words right out of my mouth!

[@erezmor4u]

The most heart breaking emotional musical ever !!!! The music is haunting, the set design was so beautiful... but most of all: the CAST !!!!! what an amazing cast..... Antonio should have won the TONY that year, if it wasn't for Harvy and HAIRSPRAY.

[@lonchaifetz]

A ravishing score, gorgeously sung, acted, designed and directed. The stage version is much less misogynistic than the misdirected movie. Guido is a true man-child, not as threatening to women as in need of mothering. Unfortunately, he does do damage along the way, all stunningly acted and sung by an extraordinary cast of ultra talented women. SO true, he is not in good working order for a relationship, but that is the subject of this musical. He learns to finally grow up and stop being a sulky little boy. This is the point of drama and all story telling, the jouney.

[@JP-sj5zn]

Classy production - full to the brim of stunning talent. Not sure this could ever be matched.

[@JP-sj5zn]

And Jane Krakowski - Wow! Shoud be X-rated!

[@inspiringpuppies2906]

what i would give to go back and see this incredible cast perform live

[@daviddavis6171]

Ms.Aurora! You bring so much joy!! Nine is in my top three fav musicals!

[@auroraspiderwoman5886]

So nice of you to say so. Will never forget seeing "Nine" (for the second time) at the final preview of the original in 1982---one showstopper after another.

[@daviddavis6171]

@@auroraspiderwoman5886 Oh My! This score! COME ON!! Some one has a huge Bway bill!! I have seen only Sunset with Betty, the obc of Prelude to a Kiss and Triumph of Love.Oh ..and Urinetown.

[@JorgeAl]

Amazing! Just amazing! Wishing to have seen this live

[@robertr798]

Krakowski got the buzz and the Tony Award, but I've always Masterson and Banderas deserved it. Both of them were outstanding, separately and especially together.

[@gracekeddy]

what an unmatched cast

[@oliver91ist]

Nine is a show that feels like it deserves the best of Broadway’s Leading Ladies but works best in a chamber piece, even Anita Morris showed that in the original production

[@estudiorobertoayala]

100 right

[@martinsorenson1055]

My memory of this show contains all those adjectives you have heard - ravishing, stunning, extraordinary. I also thought Banderas was incredible and thought he deserved the Tony for Featured Actor more than Harvey Fierstein. At least Banderas was pleasant to listen to. And the women were incredible and added to the overall experience. But more than these, I thought it was one of the most beautiful shows I have seen. That second act spa set - with water gliding down a painterly backdrop of three women - was just sumptuous. Unfortunately, the clips here don't really show it at all....

[@BrendanClifford]

it was Leading Actor, you may be confused since Harvey is, i think, a supporting character in Hairspray and was in the wrong category. But nonetheless Banderas should have EASILY walked away with that Tony. One of the most extraordinary male performances I've seen on broadway, in a huge and very challenging role. In a stunning production.

[@peteralfano4278]

Saw the original more than once and love this show. I missed the revival so thanks for posting this...Antonio, Chita, Jane...heaven

[@charlesrabb5568]

I saw this production just before it closed. Eartha Kit was the replacement for chita

[@richardmayora1289]

Thank you so much. This production was a very special memory for me.

[@nornsnornsnorns]

Thank you. Such a wonderful show

[@jessedalton2387]

THANK YOU!!!!!

[@estudiorobertoayala]

Thank you... Nine is my best choice

[@edwinscharlau6202]

Love this! Thank you so much. Brought back such great memories. Do you know of any links for entire Grand Canal song. Remember loving the way they staged that....

[@marcmantell940]

Thank You !

[@tinselbmerryweather]

Elena Shaddow is seen up close too as Renata!

[@alexkersh5138]

Is it just me or does Jane look a little bit like Sharon Tate here?

[@filippomusenga6274]

do you know where i can find the full thing? thank you so much

[@sumartu-e2u]

jane is talented, amazing and hot

[@LaLaughterGetter]

I was in the original

[@LaLaughterGetter]

And as original cast, we were invited to see Antonio Banderas’ version. Krackowski was brill and boy was Banderas hot! I did miss our Germans at the Spa, however. It was a tour de force by Maury Yeston.

[@anhw3303]

Loved this production. The movie was atrocious for changing the ending.

[@auroraspiderwoman5886]

The movie was a mistake all around.

[@estudiorobertoayala]

terrible movie..and cast

[@carl.nooner]

This revival was a mistake in so many ways...

[@PabloLopez-rp7lq]

@@carl.nooner What was wrong with it? I didn't see it

[@Sgureghian]

This is an actual proshot? Is it available anywhere?

[@buckspath]

Thank you for posting! Is it Laura B as Claudia in this video? It sounds like her but doesn’t look like her. I know she has said in interviews that she was still recovering from neck surgery when she was in this production.

[@auroraspiderwoman5886]

Absolutely, Laura B. is Claudia here.

[@BrendanClifford]

I love this show, and generally loved this revival, but I think it's main weakness and biggest crutch may have been having *most* of the supporting cast do an Italian accent the whole show. It was not necessary and was sometimes a hindrance, especially I'm sad to say in places like "Simple" where Jane did "Seeymple" and it really got in the way of the moment.

[@matteociocci9149]

someone please tie up Luisa's hands, that's so disturbing and exaggeratedly cliche. we don't underline every-single-word with hand gestures! plus, when Claudia speaks angry Italian she doesn't say a single sensible word. (not to mention La Fleur's fake French accent or Guido's "Italian" pantomime.) ok, other than this language mess it seems like a fantastic production, I wish I could see the whole thing.

[@twilightofthezone]

I don't think Antonio Banderas is "pantomiming Italian" (I don't see a handlebar mustache or any back hair), but I do think that what you're seeing is Antonio Banderas playing Antonio Banderas, which is valid.

[@nondescript2892]

For all the fanfare the subject still bores me...heterosexual machismo existential angst...is there really an audience for this among musical theatre audiences?

[@gayandreckless]

nondescript I agree, but I think the reason it endures is because of the performances and material for the women around Guido. Even the atrocious film version has two very powerful performances from Marion Cotillard and Penelope Cruz.
