It is 1928 and Berlin is at the center of a razzle-dazzle world between two wars. At the bustling Grand Hotel a series of eclectic guests and staff, including a fading ballerina, a destitute baron, a wannabe-starlet typist, and an ailing bookkeeper collide in a non-stop musical toast to the high life. Artistic Director Eric Schaeffer reunites the creative team behind last season’s smash hit "A Little Night Music" to conjure a scintillating musical destination where captivating characters played by Bobby Smith ("Titanic", "A Little Night Music"), Natascia Diaz ("Crazy for You"), Kevin McAllister ("Titanic"), Nicki Elledge ("A Little Night Music") and more converge with a lavish and lively score to embody the joy, style and decadence of the 1920s. “A showstopper at every turn.” – TheaterMania [less-]
