Anything Goes at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre

Daily Herald - Recommended

"...What most audiences want from "Anything Goes" is a glorious parade of Cole Porter standards, including "You're the Top," "I Get a Kick Out of You" and "All Through the Night." The songs form the backbone of this quintessential 1930s Broadway musical comedy, and the Metropolis Performing Arts Centre in Arlington Heights delivers a largely shipshape production of a classic."

"...Chances are you’ll get quite a kick out of Anything Goes, performed with morale-lifting exuberance at Metropolis by a cast of 25 belters, hoofers and comedians and a toast-worthy six-piece band under the musical direction of Kenneth McMullen."

"...There is an easy to appreciate all hands on deck—literally /figuratively—pre-intermission tap dancing number where you get to admire the hard work and rehearsals that no doubt were required to create that ensemble moment. Some of the more campy acting that helps transport this story into the 21st Century- especially by comic actors Mark Pontarelli and Connor Murray - give the performance welcomed juice. This 1934 musical is part of the musical theater canon and at some point any lover of musical theater should see it. However, this writer can’t really recommend this production to city dwellers as meriting the drive--- which took more than an hour from the North Side on a rainy Friday night. If you live near by and welcome an injection of live performance this might be a good pick."
