Update: Due to the enormous popularity of the show, California Dreamin', a tribute to the music of the famed 60's group, The Mamas and The Papas, has been held over. It will continue to be performed on the Main Stage of Act II Entertainment every Monday through the end of March.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - If I could point to one thing that motivated me to move from the chilly Northeast to California 30 years ago, it would have to be songs like "California Dreamin." With vivid lyrics like "all the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey," and "I'd be safe and warm, if I was in L.A." this song was my "daydream" when facing a long, hard winter. ACT II Stages is excited to present California Dreamin', a tribute to the famed 60's group, The Mamas and The Papas debuting on January 4th on The Main Stage.

One year in the making, California Dreamin' is all about well-known band members Cass Elliot, Michelle Phillips, John Phillips and Denny Doherty and their ground-breaking music! With all live music, the show stars Don Pope, Rhonda Padmos, Jenny Allen Stephanie Watts, Elvis Martinez and Joseph Heininge.

California Dreamin' presents 18 well-known songs along with revealing monologues, detailing the lives, loves and history of the 60s music scene. The 4 singers will be portrayed by Jenny Allen as Cass Elliot.... Stephanie Watts as Michelle Phillips.... Joseph Heininge as John Phillips and Elvis Martinez as Denny Doherty. These singers will be accompanied by the LIVE MUSIC of the Don and Rhonda Band with Daniel Lopez on bass and Jesus Estrada on drums.

An upbeat, feel good show, California Dreamin' takes you back through a musical time machine when folk music was transitioning to psychedelic pop hits. This music shaped a generation and mirrored the California music scene from Laurel Canyon to the "Flower Children" of San Francisco. It reflected the "make love not war," message of the peace movement.

This show will feature our favorite songs from The Mamas and The Papas, such as California Dreamin', Monday, Monday, Dedicated to the One I Love, and my all-time favorite, Dream A Little Dream.
