The story is simple, but the message is anything but clear: a group of young performers, rejected by the state theater, band together in the subway to put on a show condemning the evil of money - and then happily sell out. “Metro” condemns the new capitalist spirit that the production celebrates with Trumpian gusto, and offers three contradictory endings–sad, wistful and celebratory - to cover all its ideological bets. One’s hat goes off to the fresh, multitalented cast, who perform as if to the manner born. But anyone hoping to hear an indigenous Polish voice is in for a big surprise. This musical speaks in a “universal” language, and it turns out to be pure Vegas.
