Grand Hotel, The Musical
Come spend a night or two in the world’s most luxurious yet vaguely tragic hotel where we can eavesdrop on the conversations and the lives of some finely observed guests. It is 1928 Berlin. The world is between wars, the stock market is booming, Berlin is the center of high life and optimism rules the day. However, underneath it all, there is something much darker happening with the Grand Hotel’s illustrious clients – issues of life and death, financial ruin, love and murder. All this converging to mirror life itself as people come and go through the revolving door that never stops. Richly contrasting rhythm and dance, comedy, glitz, heartache and tragedy are interwoven into this story that features a diverse ensemble cast and a lush and powerful score.
