Metropolis Performing Arts Centre — Attraction in Wheeling Township

Think twice before having your wedding here if you have guests with dietary restrictions. We were told they could NOT accommodate food allergies and that guests with food allergies should bring their own carryout food into the venue. Yes, you read that correctly. Metropolis is good with foam carryout boxes being brought into the venue in the middle of the reception. Metropolis wants the wedding guests (perhaps in formal attire) to leave the wedding, pick-up carryout, and then bring it back to guests with dietary restrictions.

Strangely, others said was bad don't go. We figured how bad could a...

It was also nice that there is a lot of restaurants and other shopping nearby, which makes for a nice trip to have dinner and see a performance.

The cast (ranging from very young to old) did an excellent job and were very talented and spot on through the whole performance. Tiny Tim (Eva) did a fantastic job! There was lots of laughs and also some pretty intense scenes as well. The singing was very good. We had a really great time seeing the performance and would definitely...
