    I went to see the Sister Act Musical that is currently open at this establishment. The performances were good with reasonable ticket price. The bathrooms can be cleaned more often than what is scheduled

    No programs! They still believe you can catch a virus by handling paper. Pacing was way too slow. This is a long show and it seemed endless. Kristen Doty as Sally was pitchy all through the show. Maria Alexandra was a brilliant emcee! The sub plot with Frau Schneider and Herr Schultz was heartbreakingly portrayed.

    Great theater, not a bad seat in the house! This place attracts amazing talent, and their productions are always top-notch. Not to mention, it's in the middle of Arlington Heights, so there are TONS of choices when it comes to dinner before the show and/or drinks after. Do yourself a favor and check out their schedule!

    What a wonderful experience! Not a bad seat in the house and the performance was as grand and professional as any at larger more well known theaters! Treat yourself to this affordable, exciting live theater

    You can't get a bad seat here and the parking garage is free. Shout! was fun. The voices were really good and the band was great. Sometimes the band overpowered the voices but I think that was because the mics weren't turned up enough. Other times the voices of the ladies were really powerful. I'd like to come back for other shows now that I know my way around. The box office person and the ushers were very nice and helpful too.

    Their productions are always very good. This Addams Family musical was top notch from the acting, costumes, set design, the whole 9 yards.

    Very nice intimate theatre. Good lighting and sound. We went to Adams family late Sept and thoroughly enjoyed it

    attended a show here recently and was blown away by the amount of production for a small theater.. don't get me wrong, it's VERY professional and well kept.. parking is quite complicated and took a while

    We usually have like everything here for years but Addams was worse than irritating. Would have left in beginning but didn't want to disturb others by going all way down to front & back to get around the full length fence. Addams was awful. Music so loud couldn't hear words instead of quiet background. Voices screechy & quavering used more yelling than any emotion of the moment. Not funny at all, and repetitious. Many left at intermission, or sat in car to wait for rest of party. Have never left a play downtown or suburbs no matter how bad to see what the point might be, but we also left this one, it's not redeemable. You need to tap into high schools for some fabulous talent, as well as Loyola's actors. Never bad no matter the type or difficulty of theme. Strangely, others said was bad don't go. We figured how bad could a comedy be...

    Had a great time at Xanadu. So much fun. It was my first time at this theatre. Small, cozy, and all the seats are good.

  • 4/5 Tonjia L. 10 months ago on Google
    Xanadu, what a fun show! Our first visit to this venue. Parking was easy and free, plenty of restaurants, with indoor/outdoor seating and places just to get a drink. Steps from Metra also.

    The actors and actresses are extremely talented! Everyone I have met, whether sitting next to or talking with staff have been very nice.

    Very intimate place to see shows. No really bad seats. There are near by eating places

    The Ragtime was an excellent production, highly recommended! This was my first show at the Metropolis and I am definitely bringing my family back for other shows.

  • 5/5 Susan Wilner L. 1 year ago on Google
    We saw the musical Ragtime this afternoon. It was an unexpected delight. The actors were strong, their singing was as good as the best of Broadway.

  • 5/5 Paul M. 1 year ago on Google
    Back at Metropolis - Kashmir is absolutely fabulous. Truly feels like being at Madison Square Garden seeing Led Zeppelin, but with an excellent seat, easy access to drinks, parking and more. Missing this show is missing a magical event. All you old rockers must get off your coaches, dump Netflix and come and watch Kashmir. Rock on

    Quaint theater in downtown Arlington heights. The seniors at Johnny Mathis almost fell without stair railings

    Awesome place besides the fact a cocaine dealing liquor distributor lives upstairs. His name is Kevin McCaskey.

    We saw the Chicago Express and thoughly enjoyed them. The theater is so close to the parking garage and to restaurants. Everything in walking distance. We did not have to wear masks. This theater is a gem, nicely kept, cozy, and not a bad seat. We sat in 4th row center for $30 a ticket.

    Be sure your ready to squeeze in the seats. πŸ™„ Bathrooms are a disgusting mess. Was told only the City of AH is responsible for the cleaning

  • 5/5 Theodore B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great facility, awesome performance, and an overall good time out with friends this afternoon! A true gem and asset to Arlington Heights; definitely a must-do whenever you are in the area!
