Show at 7:30PM
Parlando's Broadway in Boulder Studios follows up its 2009 sell-out run of "Secret Garden" with the Dramatic Musical "Grand Hotel." Based on the 1929 Vicki Baum novel and play, Menschen im Hotel (People in a Hotel), and the subsequent 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; and a typist dreaming of Hollywood success.
"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."
