Set in a ritzy Berlin hotel in 1928, when the world is between wars and the stock market is booming, a cast of eccentric characters whirl through the Grand Hotel’s revolving doors. Meet the beautiful Prima Ballerina, the charming but broke young Baron, the determined Hollywood hopeful, the deathly ill bookkeeper, the honest, hardworking father-to-be, and the cynical doctor, whose stories intertwine through a series of fateful encounters. But underneath the golden archways of the world’s most opulent, extravagant hotel, lie dark shadows and secrets…with no reservations. A hauntingly beautiful musical panorama of love and loss, decadence and desire!
