How similar is the movie "Grand Hotel" to the musical of the same name?

Are they essentially the same or are they completely different? The movie isn't a musical at all, correct? Thanks!

The movie is not a musical at all, but the first of the "All-star Cast" ensemble movies that are a selection of vignettes loosely woven around a thin plot. It's wonderful acting, with Greta Garbo and John Barrymore together, and Wallace Beery and 19-year-old Joan Crawford together...

I love that film, though I don't often recommend it to today's shallow, gimmicky, easily impressed audiences. If CGI is your cup of tea, then shun this masterpiece.

I never heard of the musical, but then I never follow musicals.
