Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - As the only 5-Star entertainment venue in Puerto Vallarta, Act II Stages is celebrating its biggest and best season ever! A record-breaking box office made 2018 the best year in its history, and 2019 is already showing signs it will be better, with sold out houses and new shows opening every week.

OPENING THIS WEEK AT ACT II STAGES

"Lee Squared"
An Evening with Liberace and Peggy Lee
Two Lees for the Price of One!
Opening Night: Monday, January 14 at 5:00 pm
January 14, 18, 19, 21, 25, 26, 28- 5:00 pm
February 1, 3, 4 at 5:00 pm

In this funny and touching tribute, New York City Bistro and MAC Award winners, David Maiocco and Chuck Sweeney, present a musical/comedy show, honoring music legends, Liberace and Peggy Lee, who defined four decades of music and pop culture. They call their show "Two Lees for the price of one!"

Liberace lived a life of flamboyance, sparkle, and lavish costumes. In this funny and touching tribute, Liberace gets one more chance to glitter and shine as he tickles the ivories through the fingers of piano virtuoso, David Maiocco. Chuck Sweeney keeps the memory of Peggy Lee alive with a fevered impersonation that includes a heavy dose of camp hilarity! Maiocco and Sweeney are both Bistro and MAC Award Winners (individually) for "Musical Direction and Outstanding Impersonation," and they have just jointly won the 2017 Bistro Award for "Lee Squared" in the category of "Outstanding Musical Comedy Duo!"

As a team they have created an evening of music and laughter, from the virtuoso playing of Liberace, to the sultry jazz and swing of Miss Lee.

"Liberace would've loved it, and Peg would be proud!" - Q Life Magazine

"Maiocco smoothly channeled liberace to a T, and Sweeney sounded EXACTLY like Peggy Lee!" - Theaterpizzazz.com

"High camp delivering masterful work to the masses." - Provincetown Magazine
