The Chatham Community Players concludes its 102nd Season with the critically acclaimed and modern musical classic, NINE. Returning to direct on Chatham Playhouse’s Main Stage is Elizabeth Rogers of West Orange, and Emily Bengels of Readington makes her Chatham debut as Musical Director. Rogers said, “I would tell you how wonderful NINE is, but I'd rather you come see for yourself!”
Based on iconic film director Federico Fellini's legendary work 8½, this spectacular musical adaptation features one man and the dozens of women in his life. Celebrated but impetuous film director, Guido Contini, succumbing to the pressures of filming his latest film epic, suffers a midlife crisis. One by one, women from his past and present—including his mother, his wife, his mistress, and his leading lady—haunt, instruct, scold, seduce and encourage him until he finally learns to grow up.
