| ''Nine'' had such a beautiful cast, and the lovely women were stunningly costumed, all directed by the amazing Tommy Tune. And I recall the delightful Kathi Moss doing ''Be Italian'' on the Tonys. (Her only post-''Nine'' B'way credit was ''Grand Hotel.'') But I wish ''Dreamgirls'' Henry Krieger and Tom Eyen could've tied with ''Nine's'' Maury Yeston for Best Score. And scenic design. I'll always remember Lawrence MIller's astonishing all-white-tile-set at the spa for ''Nine.'' So I was really bummed when I caught the tour of ''Nine'' and saw that they had replaced it with an all-brown train station. Anyone know why? Someone once theorized it might've been too hard to keep that all-white set clean, while on tour. |

| Here's a comparison shot of the NINE set for Broadway and the set for the national tour. (Once you follow the link you might have to click on the photo to see both.) | |

| That's fascinating. Lord knows there are plenty of reasons that sets have to be re-imagined for tour, but this does seem off since it's a unit set with very little on the stage. The white tile set does not look that technically complex (although it could be deceptive). However, the comment with the photos about imbedding lights into the arches of the train set does sort of make sense of it. That can save a lot of time when jumping from city to city. | |
