Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Act II is 'On Top of the World' - or, with new shows opening and ongoing favorites selling out nightly, at least on top of the Puerto Vallarta entertainment scene! And the hits just keep on coming at STAGES, where you can enjoy high-quality live entertainment in all three venues every night of the week.

Season 5 kicked off with Act II's newest stage play, The Rocky Horror Show, which has taken since Vallarta by storm! This ultra-campy cult classic is a humorous tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the late 1940s through the early 1970's, and tells the story of a newly engaged couple getting caught in a storm and coming to the home of a mad transvestite scientist Dr. Frank N. Furter, fabulously portrayed by Vallarta favorite, Gabe Arciniega. Directed by the amazing and talented Alfonso López, with choreography by Kami Desilets, this incredible show is hilarious, gripping and haunting, all at the same time. Presented every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 7:00 pm until the end of November, The Rocky Horror Show could very well be the season's biggest hit. Tickets for every performance sell out quickly, so click HERE to get yours NOW!

For the first time on its stage, Act II is thrilled to welcome the Award-Winning, International Drag Idol, Martha D’Arthur! Martha won the Drag Idol UK competition in 2013, and she hosted and performed at the opening and closing shows for the inaugural Austin International Drag Festival in 2015! Her brand of "nice queen" has proved to be quite popular with audiences and she has become a permanent fixture in the drag circuit around the United Kingdom. Martha's show, "Martha Mia," will include some of her favorite songs from stage, screen and music charts, but one of the highlights of her show is the popular Juke Box Drag, where the audience gets to choose songs from her wide-ranging repertoire (over 150 songs) of power ballads and cabaret classics! The glamorous Martha will delight you with her powerhouse vocals, and she has never done the same show twice!

It's a Wonderful Life is one of the most well-known and heart-warming Christmas stories ever! It is the story of an angel that is sent from Heaven to help a desperately frustrated businessman by showing him what life would have been like if he had never existed. Act II will bring this beloved American holiday classic back to life as a live 1940s radio broadcast! Its original twist, clever use of props, entertaining voices and a love story that you want to see over and over again, creates a fresh and inventive way of reconnecting with this classic story of love and redemption.

This young lady is one of the most talented people that has ever crossed our stage! After a sold-out preview of her show this past summer, she was described as "powerful, charming, beautiful, stunning, polished, mesmerizing and stunning." She blew the audience away with her huge vocals and passionate interpretations, and she grabbed the audience and never let go. Diana is a reality TV star/musician in Central America, and she already has a huge fan base here in Puerto Vallarta!

"Things You Shouldn't Say"
A Political Satire featuring The Kinsey Sicks
November 17 & 20 at 8:00 pm

We are so thrilled to welcome back (for their third year), the world-acclaimed Dragapella "Beautyshop" Quartet, The Kinsey Sicks! (If you love Donald Trump, you'll hate this show!) This deliciously R-rated group will present an updated, "ribald, ridiculous, raunchy romp" of current political comedy in its own inimitable style! The show is a cornucopia of bawdy, riotous, good fun, paired with emotional gut punches in equal measure. Their jokes are as tight as their harmonies, and the parody songs written and performed by the group are as clever as they are funny!

UsTwo: "New Voices, Old Beats"
Every Tuesday and Thursday at 7:30 pm

Us Two takes their place as the number one musical group in Puerto Vallarta, with a hugely successful opening night. Puerto Vallarta has fallen in love with this smashing duo with the soft, sexy beat and harmonious vocals. As soon as they open their mouths, you will be mesmerized.

UsTwo's Opening Night will be a special evening of fun, gorgeousness, and talent.

Paul Fracassi: "Walk Like a Man"
Performing every Wednesday at 7:30 pm

This "Jersey Kid" from Toronto, Canada, managed to create a big fuss up in Canada as a finalist in Canadian Idol. Shortly thereafter, he created a "big fuss" in Puerto Vallarta, too, as we fell in love with this wonderful, new singing sensation! He has become an international star and is much in demand in Mexico, Canada, the U.S., and Europe. 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. Paul handles the Frankie Valli songs as if Frankie Valli himself was on stage singing them in his early years on The Ed Sullivan Show!
