Another Great Season of Entertainment Begins at Act II

October 26, 2017

Act II STAGES is located in the Zona Romantica, on the corner of Insurgentes and Basilio Badillo, just a short stroll from the beach on the South side of Puerto Vallarta. For more info, call (322) 222-1512.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Last night, The Kinsey Sicks kicked off an incredible season of entertainment at Act II Stages. They have lots more in store with the return of many Vallarta favorites, some incredible new world-class talent, the most outrageously entertaining drag shows, and award-winning musicals and stage plays. Here's a look at just some of this season's shows:

The Kinsey Sicks in "Electile Dysfunction"
Oct 27, Nov 1, 3 & 7 at 7:00 pm


We are thrilled to welcome back the world-acclaimed "beautyshop" quartet, The Kinsey Sicks, and their very timely original show, "Electile Dysfunction." In this hilarious show, the Kinsey Sicks (Rachel, Trampolina, Trixie and Winnie) campaign to become the first DragapellaŽ Beautyshop Quartet to be elected President of the United States on the Republican ticket. They plan to TAKE BACK AMERICA by out-pandering, out-conspiracy theorizing, and out-outlandishing our current Presidential candidates through their sharp-witted original songs and biting parodies. Are you still an undecided voter? With four more shows leading right up to the election, we strongly advise that you DON'T VOTE until you have seen all sides! The Kinsey Sicks have been together for more than 20 years. They have performed around the world, presenting a cornucopia of music and comedy to all kinds of audiences... starting on a street corner in San Francisco in 1994, graduating to venues in most of the US, Canada, Australia, Europe and Mexico! Their award-winning a cappella singing, sharp satire and over-the-top drag have earned them a diverse & devoted following!

The Voice Of Vallarta Launches Season 4 with Golden Ticket Callback Show

Act II is "over-the-moon" about all of the talented singers who auditioned for Season 4 of the 18-week Voice of Vallarta singing competition. Now the judges are looking forward to the call back auditions for the singers who received the 'Golden Ticket' during the preliminaries. The public is welcome to come watch the Callback Audition Shows on October 30 and November 6 at 8:00 pm for a small fee of $50 pesos, or $150 pesos, which includes a drink. This year, the judges are VOV Producer and Director, Alfonso Lopez, (Head Judge), Kharla Barragan, owner of Alas School of Music (returning for her 4th year), and Seattle's most famous Drag Queen, Mama Tits! The weekly Voice of Vallarta competitions, which start at 7:00 pm on November 27 and run every Sunday through April 9th (*Christmas Day and New Year's Day are dark), will be hosted once again by the fabulous Juan Pablo Hernandez who turns SPANGLISH into an art form! The price for tickets for The Voice of Vallarta competition starting November 27 is $100 pesos general seating, $150 pesos for the first four rows, and $300 pesos includes 2 free drinks. A Voice of Vallarta Season Pass is now available online at www.actiientertainment.com/Season-Tickets.

The vivacious and talented Broadway Diva, Carly Ozard, will open The Red Room for the season with an all-new show this year. Last season, Carly impressed Puerto Vallarta audiences with her powerful voice, quickly becoming a local favorite with her "Midler on the Roof" show. This year's brand-new show, "I Just Can't Copa Cabana," is inspired by songs originated by Annie Lennox, Aretha Franklin, John Lennon, Gavin DeGraw, Carole King and many more! Special guest stars from New York City and San Francisco join Carly on this voyage as she ponders how real world issues can be experienced through song. Carly has been singing in Musical Theater and Cabaret shows since 2005. She was the WINNER of The San Francisco Cabaret Competition of 2009, and has continued to create a variety of custom-designed shows including "Shift Happens" "Somebody to Love: My Musical Tribute to Freddie Mercury" and "Midler on the Roof!" Carly has performed her shows from NYC to San Francisco as a Headline powerhouse, and Act II is proud to have Carly return for the 2016-2017 season!

"Pansy" Starring Daisy Bucket
One Night Only! - November 4 at 7:30 pm

A staple of the Kansas City scene, which says something or nothing at all, Daisy Bucket (pronounced, of course, 'bouquet') brings her new one-woman show to ACT II's Red Room! How does one fall into a career of sequins and fabulousness? All is revealed in "Pansy", the stories and songs that have shaped the blonde bombshell femme mimic of the midwest! This 90-minute cabaret is a roller coaster of high-energy songs from show tunes to rock and blues - all gloriously sung live by Daisy herself, who can also be seen in disguise as Trampolina of The Kinsey Sicks! Most recently, Daisy brought the house down emceeing the Holiday Hullabaloo concert at the GALA Festival in Denver showcasing gay men's choruses nationwide and also starred as Alicia Silverstone aka Cher Horitwitz in "Cluelessness," which was recognized as one of the Best Local Plays in Kansas City this year by The Pitch. Her tireless fund raising efforts for Kansas City HIV/AIDS organizations have raised well over $100,000 USD.

Avenue Q - A 3-time Tony Award winner!

Avenue Q is a delightful, laugh-out-loud American musical that was performed on Broadway from 2003 to 2009. Audiences everywhere have been captivated by its fresh and funny story, and it won the prestigious 2004 "Triple Crown" for Tony Awards: Best Music, Best Score and Best Book! The story of Avenue Q takes place in New York City and the street is Avenue Q, the only address you can afford when you're fresh out of college, out of a job, or just trying to find your purpose in life. It is a coming-of-age parable that satirizes the issues and anxieties of entering adulthood. Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score (not to mention the use of full-size puppets that are animated by unconcealed human puppeteers), Avenue Q is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite of audiences everywhere! Although the show addresses humorous adult issues (and is not recommended for children), it is very similar to a beloved children's show; a place where puppets are friends. It is directed by Act II's Musical Director, Alfonso Lopez, and features a wonderful, international cast. Simply put, this show is perfect for those of us who may be wondering how the hell we got to this point in our lives and constantly questioning what our purpose is. But for now, you can just sit back, enjoy, belly-laugh, and rejoice at the marvel of this modern-day musical!
