January 2, 2018

Act II STAGES is located in the Zona Romantica, on the corner of Insurgentes and Basilio Badillo on the south side of Puerto Vallarta. For more information, call (322) 222-1512, or visit actiientertainment.com.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - At any given time a piece of musical theater by Rodgers and Hammerstein is probably being performed. As the biggest force on Broadway when Broadway was the biggest force in entertainment, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein created a string of popular Broadway musicals in the 1940s and 1950s, initiating what is considered the "golden age" of musical theater.


Their musical theater writing partnership produced some of the world's most popular stage and film musicals, including Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I and The Sound of Music. If you are in Puerto Vallarta, you can get a little taste of them all in Some Enchanted Evening at Act II Entertainment.

Directed by Alfonso López, this magical show offers a glorious parade of unforgettable hits from the best musicals of all time, and places four of PV's best singers on The Main Stage: renowned soprano Vanessa Amaro from the national conservatory of music; Alfonso López a classically trained musician/singer with a Masters in music; Hal Bonta, and Kami Desilets, two veteran stage actors with hundreds of Broadway Musicals on their resumes.

The simplicity of the stage is perfect for showcasing the fabulous voices of these talented singers as they perform all your favorite songs from some of the best Musicals of all time, including:

"I Whistle a Happy Tune", "Hello, Young Lovers" and "Shall We Dance?" from The King and I

"In My Own Little Corner" from Cinderella

"My Favorite Things", "Climb Ev'ry Mountain", "Maria", "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" and "The Lonely Goatherd" from The Sound of Music

"It Might As Well Be Spring" from State Fair

"The Surrey with the Fringe on Top" from Oklahoma!

"I'm Gonna Wash that Man Right Outta My Hair", "There is Nothin' Like a Dame", and of course, "Some Enchanted Evening" from South Pacific

Act II - Smash hit, "Some Enchanted Evening!" Fabulous, just fantastic music. The performers did an exquisite job... and earned a standing ovation. We loved it! - Bobbie Audell

Despite being an "Opening Night" season ticket holder, I have repeatedly expressed, that I generally prefer waiting a few shows to allow all of the kinks and glitches to be worked out. I will say, without question, this was the best opening night performance I have seen. As I said on another post, Broadway quality! - Jim Davis

This Show, "Some Enchanted Evening" profiled 4 of the biggest voice with songs that brought back so many memories. Songs I bet most of us had not heard or sung in many years... From the first note till the last note it was superbly performed by 4 incredible performers that had everyone applauding loudly after every song. Director and cast Alfonso López, Kami Desilets, Vane Vera Amaro, Hal Bonta, WELL DONE and another Must See Show. - David Wilhoit

If you love music, if you love Rodgers & Hammerstein, if you love excellent talent, if you're looking for a fabulous way to spend an evening, then you MUST SEE Some Enchanted Evening at Act II.

At Stages for Rogers and Hammerstein Some Enchanted Evening opening night. Thrilling performances by all 4 singers. The harmonies, the staging, all combined to do justice to the greatest American songbook ever! Rush to see it before it's gone. - Rob Burton
