⭐ NINE – THE MUSICAL – IN CONCERT ANNOUNCED – STARRING RAMIN KARIMLOO – THE LOWRY – FEBRUARY 2025 ⭐

On the day it marks nine years since opening its doors, Hope Mill Theatre has announced it will present a new concert version of the musical NINE, starring Broadway and West End star Ramin Karimloo, at The Lowry, Salford next year.

The concert will be in celebration of Hope Mill’s 9th Birthday – and will play for two performances only at The Lowry, on Saturday 1st & Sunday 2nd February 2025.

Movie director Guido Contini finds himself struggling to find meaning, purpose, and a script for his latest movie endeavour. With only a week left before shooting begins, he desperately searches for answers and inspiration from his wife, his mistress, his muse, and his mother. As his chaotic profession steadily destroys his personal life, Guido must find a balance between creating art and succumbing to its obsessive demands. Featuring the songs “Be Italian”, “Unusual Way”, “Cinema Italiano” and many more.

NINE won the 1982 Tony Award for Best Musical and Best Original Score, and was released as a movie in 2009 and featured an all-star cast including Daniel Day-Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson, Fergie, Sophia Loren and Judi Dench.

The concert will be co-directed by Hope Mill founders William Whelton and Joseph Houston. This production will be produced by Whelton and Rhianna Swyer for Hope Mill Theatre and will feature casting by Jim Arnold. Key Artwork Design by FEAST Creative.

NINE has music & lyrics by Maury Yeston, with a book by Arthur Kopit, adapted from the Italian by Mario Fratti.

NINE – THE MUSICAL – IN CONCERT will play The Lowry, Salford, on Saturday 1st & Sunday 2nd February 2025, with tickets on sale from 4th October 2024.
