Grand Hotel

About This Movie

So, 'Grand Hotel' from 2017, it’s this musical that really captures the spirit of 1928 Berlin, you know? It weaves together the lives of various hotel guests over a day-and-a-half, each with their own stories and struggles. The atmosphere is rich, almost vibrant, thanks to the set design and the music. What’s interesting is how the pacing allows you to breathe alongside the characters, as their lives intersect in unexpected ways. The performances have a charm that feels genuine, and while it’s based on the Broadway show that racked up some Tony Awards, this version brings its own flair to the stage.

This production of 'Grand Hotel' is relatively new in the collector’s arena, with limited releases making it a bit harder to track down. The 1989 Broadway version set a high bar, but this adaptation offers a fresh take that some collectors find intriguing. There’s a growing interest in stage adaptations for film enthusiasts, particularly those excited about the musical theatre revival trend.
