"Motown and Beyond" - Final Show!
Starring Diana Villamonte
August 5 at 7:30 pm

Diana Villamonte, in the debut of her Red Room Cabaret Show for the winter season, "Motown and Beyond!" was a smashing success! Her show, a musical tribute (in English) to the great ladies of Motown and Beyond, such as Diana Ross, Shirley Bassey, Whitney Houston, Anita Ward, Etta James, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin and Donna Summer, was thoroughly enjoyed by a wild and crazy audience on opening night, and on August 1 Diana again wowed the audience with her incredible voice and personality!

Diana has quite an extensive background as an artist. She sang her first solo at her aunt's wedding at the age of 3, and since then has studied music, ballet, modeling and theater. She entered her first singing competition at age 10 and also performed in several local plays.

In 2014, she won the Karaoke World Championship in Stockholm, Sweden, and was asked to participate in the Tokyo International Karaoke competition for the following two years. She sang as the "guest artist" at the competition in Singapore in 2015. Then, as a result of the notoriety she received after her karaoke successes, she was asked to star in a reality show on television in Central America. She now has a huge television following!

Diana was also a member of a band called "The Players" for two years at the Hard Rock Hotel Panama, has produced two singles, "Te Amo" and "Running," (available on YouTube), and just finished a stint as one of the main singers at the fabulous Rhythms of the Night.

Diana gained our attention as she competed in the Voice of Vallarta 2017. Each week, she demonstrated her amazing versatility as a musician, wowing the audience and judges with her singing ability and incredible stage presence, and she received perfect 10's almost every week.

This young lady is one of the most talented people we have ever met, and she is destined to be a huge star! We are beyond excited that Diana has agreed to perform here at Act II, so we invite you to come to the closing night of Motown and Beyond on Saturday, August 5 at 7:30 pm.

Emperatriz Valles' "Libre" is a Huge Hit!
Thursdays, August 17 & 24 at 7:30 pm
"The show not to miss this summer!" - Gary Beck

Emperatriz made her fabulous debut in The Red Room on Thursday, July 6, to a very excited and welcoming audience, and she was rewarded with a standing ovation! Her second show on July 13th was equally as good, if not better! Venezuelan recording artist Emperatriz Valles is the winner of Voice of Vallarta 2017, and is also a member of the now-famous musical group, "Trinity," which is comprised of the winners of Voice of Vallarta for 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Emperatriz is a native of Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela, where she had a very successful career as a recording artist. Last year, she and her family moved to Puerto Vallarta, and Emperatriz was excited to learn about The Voice of Vallarta competition. She was an impressive contestant with a rich, velvety tone and soulful performances that captivated audiences and made her the undeniable winner of the entire competition!

In her cabaret show, Emperatriz performed alongside her famous husband, Alejandro Alcalá, who accompanied her on the acoustic guitar. She performed many Latin songs, some of them originals, that she had recorded in Venezuela. Emperatriz thrilled the audience with her incredible vocals and we look forward to working with her again in the future! For more information or to buy tickets, please go to act2pv.com.
