It is 1928. The world is between wars, the stock market is booming, Berlin is the center of high life, and optimism rules the day. Book writer/playwright Luther Davis (Kismet, Timbuktu!) collaborated with the prolific, distinguished composer-lyricist team Robert Wright and George Forrest to create a seamless musical that boasts a powerful score sure to sweep you away with all of the lavishness of the 1920s. The story intertwines a cast of eccentric characters through a series of fateful encounters. Passing through the golden light and dark shadows of The Grand Hotel is the fading, still-beautiful Prima Ballerina; the charming young Baron, out of money, riding on his looks; the ambitious Hollywood hopeful; the mortally ill bookkeeper, meeting society before his grave; the honest, hardworking father-to-be; and the doctor, whose cynical tone foreshadows the looming depression.
