Review: Noises Off
by Regina Belt-Daniels

Regina Belt-Daniels of the Northwest Herald Review: I’m setting the bar pretty high here for future performances, but darn it!, I can’t find a single thing wrong with the Metropolis production of “Noises Off.” There’s not a weak link anywhere. The timing, the pacing, that cast, line delivery, costumes, sound, lights and the set are all extraordinary.

Hilarity ensues onstage and backstage at Metropolis in the classic farce Noises Off

Enjoy a glimpse backstage with the comedy that has been hailed as the funniest farce ever written. A production plummeting off the rails takes center stage in this boisterous play-within-a-play. Following a traveling troupe’s production of the British comedy, Nothing On, from a tense dress rehearsal to a chaotic opening night and finally to a calamitous performance. The actors’ personal lives, ego battles and passionate affairs plunge the production toward the edge of complete disaster.

Metropolis goes for everything in resplendent production of classic ‘Anything Goes’

Chicago Musical Theatre Review by Erin Fleming: The cast dives in joyfully, fully committing to the vintage camp and stylistic tropes of the piece, many of them going for broke with highly entertaining, over-the-top comic performances, such as scene stealers Mark Ponatrelli and Maddie Dorsey as Public Enemy #13 Moonface Martin and sassy moll Erma Latour, and Connor Murray as the Lord Evelyn Oakley.
