The early 1960's. Saturday Night. The Catskills. 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!
