Die Österreichische Erstauffuhrung des modernen Musicalklassikers GRAND HOTEL ist jetzt endlich in Linz zu erleben. Die Premiere fand am vergangenen Samstag im Arena Schauspielhaus des Landestheaters Linz statt und schuf einen unterhaltsamen Abend fur Publikum und Presse. Wir haben hier die Stimmen der Kritiker zusammengefasst:

Today in 1989, Grand Hotel opened at the Martin Beck Theatre (now the Al Hirschfeld Theatre) where it ran for 1017 performances. Grand Hotel is a musical with a book by Luther Davis and music and lyrics by Robert Wright and George Forrest, with additional lyrics and music by Maury Yeston. 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.
