University Players Get Sexy in "Nine: The Musical"

          “Flirtatious and potent women haunt, hinder, agitate, inflame, tantalize, inspire, arouse, stimulate, invigorate, aggravate, torment, comfort, and disarm an aging Italian filmmaker,” in The University Players’ upcoming production of "Nine," according to the Theatre Department. 
Glitzy costumes, savvy dance moves and exciting music make this musical a favorite among the theatre community.   Throw in the wonderful, talented CSULB undergrads and this show promises to be a great one.
You may remember "Nine" from the film version of the musical released in 2009, with the all-star cast including Kate Hudson and Penelope Cruz, Daniel-Day Lewis and Fergie.  The play made its debut on Broadway in 1982 and won five Tony Awards, including best musical.  It was Inspired by Frederico Fellini’s book,  “8 ½ .”
The show will take place in The Studio Theatre, in the Theatre Arts building.  It will be running from Oct. 29 to Nov. 6.  For further information or tickets call (562)985-7000.
