	Grand Hotel (1932) reviewed by AllZone4DVD.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Grand Hotel, in terms of script, doesn’t really know whether it wants to be a comedy or a drama, and in the end it settles for a weary, slightly cynical tone, established by Stone’s line “People come.
		As you’d also expect the music is inclined to be a little thin, while the sound is generally boxy, par for the course for a vintage studio shot show.
		Grand Hotel is presented in 1.33:1, a close approximation to the original theatrical ratio of 1.37:1.

	Grand Hotel, The Musical at the Colony Theatre
		These are the themes that attracted me to "Grand Hotel." It is a stirring piece about a desperate group of characters who must choose whether to embrace life or death, honor or disgrace, love or loss.

		This grand hotel is a microcosm of dreams and desires, filled with people dashing from one distraction to another, dancing blithely on the lip of a volcano.

	Theatre Reviews Limited: "Grand Hotel"
		In 1932 MGM released the Academy Award winning film "Grand Hotel" starring Greta Garbo and Lionel Barrymore, and in 1958 the first musical version titled "At the Grand" starring Paul Muni was produced in California, though the Broadway bound show never reached the east coast when Muni abandoned the project.
		Lumpkin must blend the fantasy world of the Berlin hotel; one of the final bastions of the idle rich, with the stark reality of a fragile post war economy, which is increasingly pervading through the hotel's gilded revolving door.
		"Grand Hotel" works better as a social drama than a period musical, and for all of Lumpkin's considerable directing talents, there is only so much that can be achieved with a musical that doesn't contain a single memorable tune.

	Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews - "Grand Hotel in Cincinnati 2/27/01
		Grand Hotel, currently playing as a part of the Mainstage Series by the University of Cincinnati College - Conservatory of Music (CCM), is flawed in its creation and writing, but is still thrilling theater due to its wonderful cast and professional presentation.
		These characters, along with other guests and the hotel staff, are introduced individually in a lengthy opening sequence and then begin to interact and impact on the lives of each other.
		A "stay" at Grand Hotel could easily turn out to be less than satisfactory, but due to the fine service provided by the CCM staff and students and Guest Director Daigneault, any "guest" is sure to be entertained and pampered.

	Inside Publications - Reservations available at 'Grand Hotel ? The Musical,' so book now; INSIDE Newspaper Serving ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The show has had a long history starting with the publication, in 1928, of Vicky Baum's book under the title of "Menchen Im Hotel." It was retitled "Grand Hotel" when it made its transition to the Broadway stage, then an MGM movie and, finally, the musical in the form we're now seeing.
		Mixed into this stew, the hotel personnel, bellmen, concierge, phone operators and maids permit the characters to intermingle in a plot which is focused on a society in transition.
		The music, by Robert Wright and George Forrest with additions by Murray Yeston, evokes the sense of Kurt Weill and his "Three Penny Opera." Even the choreography by Tammy Mader bursts with the dances of the period — Charleston, Black Bottom, tango, and bolero are all performed during the course of the show.

	Grand Hotel : Cynthia Avery : Theatre - Centerstage Chicago
		The musical "Grand Hotel," now playing at Drury Lane Water Tower Place, is a tricky show to do.
		In portraying the lives, loves, and (in some cases) demises of the guests and employess of the Grand Hotel in Berlin just before the stock market crash of 1929, the piece comments on the unchanging nature of the cycle of life and death.
		Barbara Robertson is pitch perfect as aging ballerina Grushinskaya; while her character may be enduring the anguish that accompanies the fading of skill with age, the actress portraying her clearly has nothing to worry about.

	Grand Hotel, the Musical a CurtainUp Los Angeles review
		Luther Davis's book reflects that, although the musical genre's upbeat ending convention is honored by way of a a paean to the birth of his son by a minor character.
		Grand Hotel, The Musical is a pure example of Wright and Forrest's work and has a lush romantic quality (though neither is Borodin) and a poetic flair for lyrics.
		It’s a timeless view but Grand Hotel”is very much of its time, and sadly ours, in Preysing’s corruption, in the young Baron driven to desperation by living beyond his means, in the ballerina whose years rob her of her career.

	Grand Hotel (1932)
		The Grand Hotel is a place "where nothing ever happens," insists hotel guest Dr. Otternschlag (Lewis Stone) at the beginning of the 1932, Academy Award-winning classic that Warner Bros. just released as a special edition DVD.
		A new documentary, "Checking Out: Grand Hotel" kicks off the disc's special features, a 12-minute foray into the film's history, narrated by Tom Kane, whose voiceover is as stiff as Garbo's performance.
		The DVD continues with trailers, a re-release theatrical trailer, and a trailer for a 1943 remake, Weekend at the Waldorf, as well as newsreel footage of the movie's premiere, which is nothing so much as a roll call for the stars of 1932 and not very interesting.

	Grand Hotel (1932)
		It was a common practice in those days for Hollywood studios to finance stage plays and musicals, so that they had a ready source of material to be adapted for the cinema (and the rights came cheaply in comparison to works that were already successful).
		There are some nice directorial touches, such as the man carrying a slab of meat having to wait while a coffin is taken out of the hotel, and the early morning cleaner sweeping out the foyer accidentally also sweeping out a dachshund that is being led out of the door.
