"...The high-octane performances by the cast of Metropolis Performing Arts Centre’s “The Wedding Singer” deliver enough energy to power an IndyCar to the checkered flag."

"...The current production, “The Wedding Singer’ is based on the film written by Tim Herlihy and starring Adam Sandler. The musical version has a book by Herlihy and Chad Beguelin, with music by Matthew Sklar and lyrics by Beguelin. This “rom-com” is finely directed by Amber Mak, with some high energy choreography by Nich O’Neil."

"...The Wedding Singer is—and always will be—a musical of nostalgia. Set in 1985 and based on the movie of the same name, the show leans into every mid-80’s cliche to transport the audience back in time and it’s funny because it works. As I sat watching The Metropolis Performing Arts Centre’s production on opening night, I was instantly transported back to the decade of big hair, synthesizers and (seemingly) simpler times."

Splash Magazine - Highly Recommended

"...At Metropolis Performing Arts Centre in Arlington Heights, The Wedding Singer lands with a burst of neon energy, big hair, and even bigger heart. Running through May 24, this Tony-nominated musical leans into its nostalgic charm while delivering a thoroughly entertaining night of theater."
