Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Mark Rome and Tracy Parks, co-directors of the Palm Cabaret, have announced the cast for the coming season at the popular cabaret, which begins performances on November 18, 2011 with the return of singer Mark Alan Smith, a comedian and live vocal impressionist who played to standing ovations last season in Vallarta.

Opening November 20, 2011 is a new face in Vallarta, Randall Powell, who will lead his own colorful stage show on Sunday nights and emcee "The Lady Bunch" on Thursdays starring Vallarta's own Diva, Angelica and Cristian. Randall will also accompany Alberto Mejia, from Mexico City, as he sings his Mexican and American standards for the US Thanksgiving crowds at The Palm. Sol Rose, the popular owner of La Bohemia Restaurant and a Vallarta legend, will do his holiday Broadway themed show on November 28: Swingin' Sol II.

Los Bambinos, Vallarta's "Favorite Local Musicians" (Virtual Vallarta's Reader's Choice), will return on Tuesday nights at 7 pm during the season.

"We're very excited to have so much talent here for the US Thanksgiving week. Your entertainment options this year are plenty," says Mark Rome, who began the current cabaret concept at The Palm and has been associated with the club for most of the last ten years.

Kim Kuzma, the very popular Canadian singer who has become a favorite among Vallartans, returns in December along with the always funny Joanna, "The Gal with a Gazillion Voices", another Vallarta favorite who keeps the crowds coming back for more each year!

Over Christmas week, "Chi Chi Rones" a singer from Los Angeles who has won an Emmy for his work writing for Disney, joins the cast and is sure to be a hit with his hilarious and often touching take on Mexican and American culture. Chi Chi's New Year's Eve show is going to start early and then join the street festival that is a tradition on Olas Altas each year on December 31st.

The Kinsey Sicks, a four-part "Dragapella" singing group with a twisted sense of humor, bring not only their current show, but will launch their new show, "Electile Dysfunction", at The Palm in January.

The super popular duo of Amy Armstrong and Freddy Allan of Chicago return to the Palm (after many years) in February for 5 shows only. Also in February, look for Michael Holmes' "The Judy Show," in which he impersonates Judy Garland and Pearl Bailey, among others, with stunning live vocals and humor. Wendy Ho, a popular parody artist, comedian and singer arrives in late March for two weeks.

"This year, with our new online ticketing option, guests can reserve seats securely through our website, ThePalmPV.com. Our full calendar and links to our artists pages will help ticket buyers make their choices," adds Tracy Parks, who joined Rome this summer after producing shows last season in Vallarta. "Shows often sold out in the past, so patrons are encouraged to buy online this year. Seats will be held until 10 minutes before curtain," he added.

The Palm is located at Olas Altas 508, just two doors south of La Piazetta Restaurant. You can also find the Palm on Facebook at The Palm Cabaret and Bar. You may also phone the club at (322) 222-0277 starting at 6 pm nightly.
