The early 1960’s. Saturday Night. The Catskills. It’s a snowy winter Saturday night and the stars who are booked \u2014 Judy Garland, Alan King and the Nicholas Brothers \u2014 are stuck in a snowdrift. When the stars do not show up to entertain the packed house at the brand new nightclub at the greatest hotel in the Jewish Alps, the owner and founder, Jennie Grossinger enlists her family to tell the story of how it all happened. A hilarious, tuneful and ultimately moving 6 character musical about the rise of the Borscht Belt and the hotel that came to symbolize it all: Grossinger’s! And on the personal side, author Stephen Cole said, “Jennie decides to put on a show about how she made Grossinger’s the great resort it was. As the improvised musical progresses, Jennie learns some hard truths about herself.\u201d<\/p>\n
