On this day in 1989, Grand Hotel opened on Broadway at the Martin Beck Theatre (now Al Hirschfeld Theatre). Directed and choreographed by Tommy Tune, the original cast featured David Carroll, Liliane Montevecchi, Michael Jeter, Jane Krakowski, Timothy Jerome, Karen Akers and John Wylie.
The Baron Felix von Gaigern from Grand Hotel ESTP by Owen
Extroverted Sensing (Se) “Give me the thrill of a careless existence! Give me the heat and the passion to win.” The Baron lives purely within the moment, taking in all the life he can at the Grand Hotel. As a thief, he is very athletic and quick on his feet, as well as prone to taking many risks without much thought of the consequences, such as when he decides to steal Elizaveta’s necklace to pay back the chauffeur. He enjoys the finer things, including nice clothes, food, wine, dancing (“We’ll Take a Glass Together”), and sex. The Baron, as well, is very physically attractive and puts a lot of thought into his appearance, as remarked on by Erik, Flaemmchen, and Elizaveta.
Introverted Thinking (Ti) “Hasn’t anyone warned you that everything here costs double?” As a successful thief and a nobleman, The Baron is intelligent and knows how to get what he wants. He heavily invests in stocks to pay back those that he owes, and soon realizes that he must turn to other means once the stock market crash happens. He often uses his Ti in tandem with his tertiary Fe, possessing an incredible understanding of how people work. This is how he is able to come up with a backstory for himself on the spot before “Love Can’t Happen,” as well as pair Kringelein with Flaemmchen during “Who Couldn’t Dance With You?”.
Extroverted Feeling (Fe) “If love comes, when love comes, you know.” The Baron is incredibly charming and, winning over almost everyone he meets (that he hasn’t stolen from). He is able to use his social skills and auxiliary Ti to get Kringelein a room when the hotel is full, flirt with Flaemmchen, and most importantly, seduce Elizaveta in “Love Can’t Happen” after she catches him in her room. However, The Baron later discovers that he has deeper feelings for her and falls in love with her. Because his Fe is tertiary, he learns that he is genuinely good at heart and should use his charm for altruism, which he succeeds in as he is shot by Preysing while rescuing Flaemmchen from being assaulted.
Introverted Intuition (Ni) “All my life I have wanted to be here…” Although The Baron has auxiliary Ti, he is much more likely to act quickly and rashly as he likes it. He doesn’t have much of a long term goal, instead indulging his feelings and desires. It isn’t until he meets Elizaveta and is taken by surprise of his emotions that he realizes that that he wants to spend his life with her and leave behind his life of thievery. As he is dying after being shot by Preysing, he envisions himself meeting Elizaveta with “Roses At The Station,” tragically putting on display the depth of his epiphany that he is never able to fully realize - it is only an idea.
