Donmar Warehouse Earlham Street, London

1928... Berlin... At Grand Hotel the guests and staff are suffering from an excess of hope and optimism as the stock market booms. The city's decadent high life is in full swing.

The Donmar's new production brings to life this glorious, Tony Award-winning musical.

The musical Grand Hotel has book by Luther Davis, music and lyrics by Robert Wright and George Forrest and is based on a Vicki Baum novel. Additional music and lyrics by Maury Yeston.

Luther Davis chanced upon a copy of Vicki Baum's novel in a second hand bookshop and was inspired to write the musical. Following the success of their collaboration on Kismet, which opened in 1953, Davis asked Robert Wright and George Forrest to create the score for his book. The musical premièred at The Grand for Los Angeles and San Francisco Light Opera Associations. It was most recently produced at the West End's Dominion Theatre in 1992.
