Starring Paul Fracassi
Every Sunday at 7:30 pm
Paul Fracassi, you've made me swoon, again! You've made me happy to have been alive to remember those moments when I first heard those songs by the great Crooners. In your 3rd season here in PV, you've show how your voice has matured & your confidence increased. What I loved most was watching how you & Camilla openly shared your love for each other with us. Crooners is another DON'T MISS show at Act II Red Room. - Tricia Lyman
Paul Fracassi is back, and better than ever! Paul opened his new Crooner's show on November 13 at the Red Room and wowed the house for 90 minutes without even taking a break. In the three years of Red Room's existence, I have never witnessed such prolonged applause after EVERY song. The crowd loved him and it was obvious he loved what he was doing. - Jim Davies
"I Just Can't Copa Cabana!"
Starring Carly Ozard
November 22, 27, 29 at 9:30 pm
5 out of 5 Stars! Went to see Carly Ozard's show "I Just Can't Copa Cabana" and I absolutely loved it! She sang a collection of classic rock songs by Annie Lennox, Aerosmith, John Lennon, Laura Nyro, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, Gladys Knight, and other familiar artists. Carly's strong voice reminded me of Mama Cass of The Mamas & The Papas, with a comedic twist. Come see Carly's show for a fun, feel-good evening! - :D
Hearing Carly hit the high notes in "Cry Like A Rainstorm" and "Stony End" was so gratifying, and her renditions of funkier songs with bass-ier, soulful tones and danceable beats such as "Legend In My Living Room (Have Mercy)" will have you singing along and rocking out in your seat. Her interpretations of "Amazing" by Aerosmith and "Imagine" by John Lennon brought a huge smile to my face! - TripAdvisor
"Bombshell" - Starring the One and Only... Tipsy Rose Lee
November 23, 26, 30 at 9:30 pm
December 3, 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, 24, 28 at 9:30 pm
We are thrilled to welcome Seattle star, Tipsy Rose Lee, and her show, "Bombshell," to Act II Entertainment! Tipsy Rose Lee is an outlandish, unconventional and HILARIOUS performer who will take you on a journey deep into the private life of the incomparable Marilyn Monroe! Both audiences and critics LOVE the hilarious plot and the great songs that tell the "provocative and private side" of Marilyn's life. If you're looking for lots of laughs, this is definitely the show for you!
"Sweet Like Candy" - a Jazz & Blues tribute featuring Mama Tits
Mondays & Thursdays (through December 29) at 9:30 pm
Mama Tits definitely left a great impression in Vallarta after a very successful run last year with her fabulous show, Mayhem with Mama! We are very excited that she is returning to Puerto Vallarta this year with her solo show, "Sweet Like Candy." An amazing performer, Mama Tits always "thinks out of the box" to come up with outrageous new twists to tell her favorite stories! Each section of her show is a whirlwind of song and dance and quick-change magic... guaranteed to make you laugh uncontrollably and beg for more! Mama Tits has created this tribute to Jazz and Blues exclusively for the Puerto Vallarta audience.
Starring Brittany Kingery
Every Monday at 7:30 pm
Act II Entertainment is excited to welcome back the one-and-only, chart-topping, award-winning, Darling of Vallarta, Brittany Kingery, this season! Every Monday evening, Brittany will bring her sweet, soaring voice and all-live band, appearing as a headline singer on the Red Room Stage. Originally from Washington State, now residing in Vallarta, her critically-acclaimed original and cover songs have been inspired by her experiences and life here in Mexico! She has also earned quite a reputation with huge accolades from her many fans of Troprock & Acoustic music.
"Sonico" - Starring Alfredo Mendoza and Cristina Mariscal
November 22, 29 at 7:00 pm
December 6, 13 at 7:00 pm
Sonico performs chart-topping covers like Stand by Me, Careless Whisper, Uptown Funk, and an array of other great songs, from Elvis Presley to Justin Timberlake! Then, in order to wrap it all up, they throw some great Latin sounds into the mix! We are excited to be able to showcase such great local talent right here in the Red Room!
"Walk Like a Man" - Starring Paul Fracassi
Every Wednesday at 7:30 pm
Paul Fracassi's 'Walk Like a Man' is the number-one selling show in Puerto Vallarta! In fact, last year, Paul sold out 24 of his 25 shows (damn Super Bowl!) We are so excited to announce that Walk Like a Man returns to The Red Room as a headline act for the 2016-2017 season! Paul Fracassi, the "Jersey Kid" from Toronto, Canada, managed to create a big fuss up in Canada as a finalist on Canadian Idol. Shortly thereafter, he created a "big fuss" in Puerto Vallarta, too, as we fell in love with this wonderful, new singing sensation. Paul's vocal range has been compared to the great crooners of the American songbook and especially the high vocal range of Frankie Valli. It is no wonder that this artist chose to present the music of The Four Seasons for his show, including Dawn, Rag Doll, Can't Take My Eyes Off of You and Walk Like a Man. He also handles the Frankie Valli songs as if Frankie Valli himself was on stage singing them in his early years on the Ed Sullivan show!
Sounds of Sirens - Featuring Brittany Kingery and Stolie
Every Friday at 7:30 pm
New "old friends," Brittany Kingery and Stolie, unite their silky vocals in an acoustic show paying tribute to the most successful folk-rock duo of the 1960's, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. These two young chicks will showcase an eclectic mix of memorable chart-toppers, tunes moving through folk, pop, doo-wop, Latin rhythms and gospel flavors, and highlighting those signature "choir boy" harmonies. Stolie will guitar-strum as Paul Simon and Brittany will keep the beat and hit those sweet-spots as Art Garfunkel. Come sing along and enjoy the Sounds of Sirens playing some of the best songs ever written! We're sure you'll be "Feelin' Groovy!"
Tickets to all shows can be purchased online at actiientertainment.com, at the box office, which opens at 10 am on show days, or at the 2nd Box Office location, across the street from Garbos on Pulpito Street in the Romantic Zone.
