Act II Opens Fourth Season With Sold Out Crowds!

November 3, 2016

Tickets to all shows can be purchased online at act2pv.com, at the Stages box office on Insurgentes, or at the 2nd Box Office location, across the street from Garbos on Pulpito Street in the Romantic Zone.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - The Kinsey Sicks opened the fourth season of entertainment at Act II with a bang, entertaining sold out crowds with the hilarious 'Electile Dysfuntion.' But STAGES has a whole lot more in store for Puerto Vallarta audiences. The 2016-2017 season will offer literally something for everyone - including incredible cabaret acts, outrageous drag shows and award-winning musicals and plays.

Two more chances to see "Electile Dysfuntion" featuring The Kinsey Sicks
November 3 & 7 at 8:00 pm

If you haven't seen it yet, you have two more chances to see 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.

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!

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!
November 12, 16, 17, 19, 23, 24, 26, 30 at 7:00 pm
December 1, 3, 7, 8, 10, 14, 21, 22 at 7:00 pm
Opening Night Party: Saturday, November 12 at 6:00 pm


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!
