From Audio Up, SiriusXM, Lance Bass Productions and Sugar 23, comes the brand-new podcast Bedtime Stories of the Ingleside Inn, an original scripted musical series starring Jason Alexander. Alexander plays Mel Haber, the legendary Palm Springs hotelier who famously hosted Frank Sinatra, Liz Taylor and many more at his hotel that became a playground for Hollywood’s elite. In this comedic musical romp, we are introduced to all the colorful characters who visited the famed Ingleside halls, from members of the mafia to petty thieves to numerous Hollywood celebrities. Through stories taken from Haber’s own autobiography, we hear just how Mel turned the Ingleside Inn into a desert vacation oasis. The extraordinary cast also includes Michael McKean, Richard Kind, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Missi Pyle, Justin Tranter, Lance Bass and many more. Bedtime Stories of the Ingleside Inn launches April 18th.

New Yorker Melvyn Haber (Jason Alexander) buys the Ingleside Inn Hotel in Palm Springs and sets out to transform it into a destination for Hollywood’s elite. He is given a crash course in how hard it is to entertain guests, set up a restaurant and bring in customers. Especially when an apparent royal named Sir John (Michael McKean) arrives and starts eating and drinking on credit. As Mel deals with his new venture, he wonders if this was all a big mistake - until he learns that a very famous singer has just made dinner reservations.

As the staff prepares for Frank Sinatra’s arrival at the restaurant, Sir John returns with new promises and wild stories that send Mel scrambling to accommodate his needs. However, Babs (Celia Emrie) smells a rat and begins to think the Sir John may not be who he claims he is. When the cops show up to the Ingleside later that night, Sir John’s true identity is revealed and Javier (Brian Jordan Alvarez) reveals that Frank Sinatra may have been scared away when he pulled up and saw police cars.

A bad review of Melvyn’s restaurant by Dave Atchison (Justin Tranter) sends Mel into a tailspin as he wonders aloud how it happened. Looking to bring new positive publicity to the hotel, he goes into the old basement to track down past celebrity guest cards. Meanwhile, Javier (Brian Jordan Alvarez) and Harry (Lance Bass) attend a party where Liberace is performing.

As Mel deals with his girlfriend Carol (Missi Pyle) constantly leaving him, a film director who may be making an afult picture arrives at the Ingleside Inn. When two midwesterners (David Koechner/Meredith Salenger) check in with their teenage daughter, things get a little crazy as the daughter begins hanging around with the crew.

Javier convinces Mel that the restaurant should stage “A Chorus Line” as a way to attract Frank Sinatra and other celebrities to Melvyn's. When Mel hires an event planner (Nicole Sullivan) to bring in A-List stars, she leads him along with false promises. After being alerted that that they do not have permission to put on the show, a cast of drag queens arrive and attempt to save the big night.

Elizabeth Taylor, Mel’s first real celebrity guest, checks into the Ingleside Inn under the pseudonym “Mildred Peppercorn.” Wanting nothing more than to be left alone, she asks only that she not be disturbed. Of course, when word leaks out, Harry brings in a bunch of his friends to meet her. Now, Mel and his team have to figure out a way to get Liz off of the property and to a new location while the hordes of crowds clamor to catch a glimpse of her.

When a group of boisterous Italian men arrive at the Ingleside, the staff wonders if they might be associated with the mafia. Meanwhile, Mel is out entertaining Carol’s parents who are visiting Palm Springs. Things get hectic when Mel checks in with the restaurant and discovers that the Italian guys have a “very special” guest arriving… Frank Sinatra himself.
