Earlier on twitter, Atlantis Productions revealed the 3rd show on their 2012 season offering.  Joining the list that already includes a rerun of In the Heights and manila staging of Rock of Ages starring MiG Ayesa as Stacey Jaxx is the classic Tony Award winning Musical, Nine.

About the show: Nine is a musical with a book by Arthur Kopit, music and lyrics by Maury Yeston. The story is based on Federico Fellini's semi-autobiographical film 8½. It focuses on film director Guido Contini, savoring his most recent (and greatest) success but dreading his imminent 40th birthday and a midlife crisis blocking his creative impulses and entangling him in a web of romantic difficulties in early-1960s Venice. -wikipedia

Still haven't seen the show before including the 2009 film adaptation that stars Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Daniel Day-Lewis and a lot more.  Since the show never really got that big buzz like Moulin Rouge! and Chicago, I stayed away to the movie for quite a lot of time.  I guess this is the time to give it a shot, now that it is already coming here in Manila through Atlantis Productions.


Also according to Atlantis, some of the best female performers in the Philippine entertainment industry will all come together on one stage for this show.  Emphasize on Philippine Entertainment Industry would absolutely mean that we will be seeing more mainstream actors and singer penetrating the theater scene.  Good news?  Well, they have to prove it first.  I already have some names in mind and I'm quite excited to know how everything will work out.
