“Of all the hotel denizens whose paths intertwine, the most fascinating is Otto Kringelein, a frail and stooped Jewish bookkeeper, splendidly played by Dino Nicandros.”

“Dino Nicandros plays Otto Kringelein the very ill bookkeeper looking to spend his final savings and days at the Grand hotel in Berlin. His portrayal of Kringelein is emotional, powerful, and expressive. Kringelein is an awkward, sweet, and unique character that you can't help but root for and this comes out in Nicandros' performance. He delivers an emotional rendition of "At the Grand Hotel”…”

“The “Grand Hotel” score is best in its few celebratory moments, which give the Baron, Flaemmchen, and Kringelein a chance to let loose as Cummings, Sturm, and Nicandros are winning in “Who Couldn’t Dance With You,” and “We’ll Take a Glass Together.’”
