'''''Grand Hotel''''' is a [[musical theater|musical]] in two acts with a book by [[Luther Davis]], music and lyrics by [[Robert Wright (writer)|Robert Wright]] and [[George Forrest (author)|George Forrest]], and additional music and lyrics by [[Maury Yeston]].<ref>{{cite book |chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofmu00ganz_1/page/806/mode/2up?q=%22Grand+Hotel%22 |title=The Encyclopedia of the Musical Theatre, Second Edition|volume=II|first=Kurt|last= Gänzl|author-link=Kurt Gänzl|chapter=Grand Hotel|publisher=[[Schirmer Books]]|year=2001|page=807|isbn=978-0-02-865573-4 }}</ref>

Based on [[Vicki Baum]]'s [[Grand Hotel (novel)|1929 novel]], its eponymous spin-off play, [[Grand Hotel (play)|''Menschen im Hotel'' (People in a Hotel)]], and the subsequent [[Grand Hotel (1932 film)|1932 MGM feature film]], the musical focuses on events taking place over the course of a weekend in an elegant hotel in 1928 [[Berlin]] and the intersecting stories of the eccentric guests of the hotel, including a fading [[prima ballerina]]; a fatally ill [[Jewish]] [[bookkeeper]], who wants to spend his final days living in luxury; a young, handsome, but destitute Baron; a cynical doctor; an honest businessman gone bad, and a typist dreaming of [[Hollywood (film industry)|Hollywood]] success.

The show's 1989 Broadway production garnered 12 Tony Award nominations, winning five, including best direction and choreography for [[Tommy Tune]].  Big-name cast replacements, including [[Cyd Charisse]] and [[Zina Bethune]], helped the show become the first American musical since 1985's ''[[Big River (musical)|Big River]]'' to top 1,000 performances on Broadway.

==Background==
''Menschen im Hotel'' marked the beginning of the career of popular Austrian novelist Baum in 1929 and she dramatized her novel for the Berlin stage later in the same year. After the play became a hit, its English-language adaptation enjoyed success in New York in the early 1930s and was made into the blockbuster 1932 [[Academy Award]]-winning film, [[Grand Hotel (1932 film)|''Grand Hotel'']], starring [[Greta Garbo]], [[John Barrymore]] and [[Joan Crawford]].<ref>[http://wiki.stageagent.com/more_show_info.php?id=1003 Information from the StageAgent.com website]{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

===''At the Grand''===
Davis, Wright, and Forrest first adapted Baum's story in 1958 under the title ''At the Grand'', changing the setting from 1928 Berlin to contemporary [[Rome]] and transforming the ballerina into an [[opera]] singer closely resembling [[Maria Callas]] to accommodate [[Joan Diener]], who was scheduled to star under the direction of her husband [[Albert Marre]]. All of them had collaborated on the earlier musical ''[[Kismet (musical)|Kismet]]'' and anticipated another success, but Davis' book strayed too far from the story familiar to fans of the film. When [[Paul Muni]] agreed to portray Kringelein, the role was changed and expanded, with the character becoming a lowly hotel employee whose stay in a hotel suite is kept secret from the management. Flaemmchen became a dancing [[soubrette]], Preysing and his dramatic storyline were eliminated completely, and two deported [[United States|American]] [[gangster]]s were added for comic relief.

''At the Grand'' opened to mixed reviews and good business in [[Los Angeles]] and [[San Francisco]], but when it became apparent to the creators that Muni was ill and would not be able to sustain a Broadway run, producer Edwin Lester decided to cancel the [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] opening scheduled for September 25, 1958, and everyone moved on to other projects.

===''Grand Hotel''===
Three decades later, Davis, Wright, and Forrest decided to dust off their original material and give the show another try, returning the show to its original setting in 1928 Berlin. This time it was placed in the hands of director-choreographer [[Tommy Tune]], who envisioned it as a two-hour, non-stop production comprising dialogue scenes, musical numbers, and dance routines overlapping and at times competing with each other, thereby capturing the mood of a bustling hotel where something is happening at all times. Seven songs from ''At the Grand'' were incorporated into what was now called ''Grand Hotel'', although two were dropped during the [[Boston]] tryout.

During the Boston run in 1989, Wright and Forrest acquiesced when Tune requested [[Maury Yeston]], with whom he had worked in ''[[Nine (musical)|Nine]]'', be brought in to contribute fresh material. Yeston wrote seven new songs in the first week, including "Love Can't Happen", "I Want to Go to Hollywood", "At The Grand Hotel", "Bonjour Amour", "Roses at the Station" and "Grand Parade" (the new opening number), as well as additional lyrics for some of the Wright and Forrest songs.<ref>Kalfatovic, Mary. [http://www.enotes.com/contemporary-musicians/yeston-maury-biography "Maury Yeston"], ''Contemporary Musicians'' (ed. Luann Brennan), Vol. 22, Gale Group (1998)</ref> At Tune's request, [[Peter Stone (writer)|Peter Stone]] came in as uncredited play doctor, though the book remained entirely the work of Davis. Yeston received billing for Additional Music and Lyrics and was nominated for two Drama Desk Awards for his work.  Ballroom choreography was by [[Pierre Dulaine]] and [[Yvonne Marceau]], who played The Gigolo and The Countess in the show, and as a favor to Tune, [[Thommie Walsh]] choreographed a brief dance section in "I Want to Go to Hollywood".

==Synopsis==
The roaring '20s are still in high gear, and Berlin is the center of high life.  Guests come and go at the opulent Grand Hotel, as cynical Doctor Otternschlag, who still suffers from [[World War I]] wounds, injects his morphine.  Assistant [[concierge]] Erik, busy at the front desk, waits to hear of his son's birth; his wife is having a difficult labor.  Baron Felix Von Gaigern, young, good-looking, and destitute, uses his charisma to help him secure a room in the overbooked hotel while stiffing a tough gangster who pretends to be a chauffeur.  Aging Russian [[prima ballerina]] Elizaveta Grushinskaya arrives with her entourage who tries to persuade her that she still can and must dance.  Her confidante and dresser, Raffaela knows that they would have to come up with a lot of money if the dancer failed to show up for her contracted engagements.  Raffaela has feelings for Elizaveta.

Jewish bookkeeper Otto Kringelein, who is fatally ill, wants to spend his life's savings to live his final days at the hotel in the lap of luxury.  The Baron helps him secure a room.  Meanwhile, Hermann Preysing, the general manager of a failing textile mill, hears that the merger with a [[Boston]] company is off, spelling financial ruin; he does not want to lie to his stockholders but gives in to the pressure.  He plans to go to Boston to try to revive the merger and presses his temporary secretary, Flaemmchen, to accompany him and "take care of him".  She dreams of Hollywood stardom and fears she might be pregnant, but flirts with the Baron.  She also agrees to a dance, at the Baron's suggestion, with the surprised and delighted Otto.  Elizaveta suffers through another unsuccessful dance performance and rushes back to the hotel.  She bursts into her room to find the Baron as he is about to steal her diamond necklace to pay back the gangster, but he pretends to be her biggest fan.  The two fall in love with each other and spend the night.  He agrees to go with her to Vienna so that she can fulfill her dancing engagements, and they will get married; they plan to meet at the train station.

Two African-American entertainers, the Jimmys, sing at the bar and dance with Flaemmchen.  Erik tries to get off work so that he can join his wife at the hospital, but the unpleasant hotel manager, Rohna, refuses to give him any time off.  The Baron has persuaded Otto to invest in the stock market, and Otto has made a killing in the market overnight.  But Otto is not feeling well, and the Baron helps him to his room, resisting the temptation to steal his wallet.  Otto rewards the Baron with some cash.  The gangster confronts the Baron and directs him to steal Preysing's wallet; he gives the Baron a gun.  Preysing has cornered Flaemmchen in their adjoining rooms and pressures her for sex.  The Baron, who was in Preysing's room trying to steal his wallet, hears Flaemmchen's cries next door and walks into her room to defend her while still holding Preysing's wallet.  After a struggle, Preysing kills the Baron with the gangster's gun.  Preysing is arrested. Raffaela struggles with how to tell Grushinskaya that her lover is dead and ultimately decides not to, leaving Grushinskaya ecstatic to see him at the train station when she leaves.

Otto offers to take Flaemmchen to Paris; he has plenty of money now so that they can enjoy the good life for as much time as he has left, and she realizes that she is fond of him.  Erik has a son and finds out that his wife came through the labor just fine.  Doctor Otternschlag observes: "Grand Hotel, Berlin. Always the same – people come, people go – One life ends while another begins – one heart breaks while another beats faster – one man goes to jail while another goes to Paris – always the same. ... I'll stay – one more day."

The show is played without an intermission.{{citation needed|date=December 2021}} The original cast included [[Liliane Montevecchi]] as Elizaveta, [[David Carroll (actor)|David Carroll]] as the Baron, [[Michael Jeter]] as Otto, [[Jane Krakowski]] as Flaemmchen, [[Tim Jerome]] as Preysing, [[John Wylie (actor)|John Wylie]] as Otternschlag, and [[Bob Stillman]] as Erik.
