Tony Awards Flashback
Michael Jeter and Brent Barrett perform "We'll Take a Glass Together" from Grand Hotel the Musical at the 44th Annual Tony Awards broadcast by CBS on June 3, 1990, from the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre.
Grand Hotel featured a terrific cast, with the leads introduced at the beginning of this number. Jeter’s exuberant performance won him the award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical. He gave one of the very best acceptance speeches ever, which is also seen here. Wait for it!

A tall woman with a distinctive red bob walked past. Now, I only saw her from the back at first, but I could swear it was Karen Akers. Well, she turned around, and wouldn't you know it? Karen Akers.

"Welcome to the Theatre": Diary of a Broadway Baby
Grand Hotel Reunion
February 27, 2024 | 54 Below | Evening | Cabaret | Reunion | 1H 40M
I was not around thirty-five years ago when Grand Hotel was on Broadway, and my knowledge of the show is pretty rudimentary, but I love going to reunions. This one was such a fun and buoyant night for the audience and the performers especially. Not all of the original cast was present, of course. Michael Jeter has since passed away, as have others, but everyone in the show was either on Broadway in that original show at some point, or on the national tour. There's just something so joyous about seeing actors in their seventies and eighties having such a blast in their original roles from over three decades ago, complete with some fun little choreography. Karen Akers was exquisite as the repressed lesbian yearning for her beloved mistress, and you know what a sucker I am for that. She's six feet tall and 78. I love that for me.
I implore everyone to watch Michael Jeter perform one of the most astounding displays of choreography I have ever seen. How did his body do that? Watch this clip and you'll just beam.
