Theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins Midday to share another weekly review of a theatrical production in the greater Baltimore region. This week, reviews of two musicals at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.

Nine is based on the groundbreaking 1963 movie, “8 1/2,” by Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini, while Back to the Future: The Musical is adapted from the 1985 film for the stage.
