Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - With an incredible line-up of live cabaret, music, comedy, stage plays and drag shows, Act II is celebrating their best season of entertainment to date and, with four star-studded shows opening this month, February is going to be even more fabulous at STAGES!

ACT II RAISING MONEY FOR BANDERAS BAY WOMENS SHELTER

From now until the "What a Drag!" charity event on March 10th, you can see a great show (Nunsense, A-Men!) and help the Banderas Bay Womens Shelter at the same time!

Every year, Act II Entertainment has raised funds for a local charity during one of its shows. This year, Act II has chosen to support the Banderas Bay Womens Shelter, and will match all donations made during this show! The funds will be presented to them at the "What a Drag" event in March.

"What a Drag" is always hilarious and features a competition of straight men in "drag," who are raising funds for the Banderas Bay Womens Shelter. This year's fundraising goal is $1,000,000 pesos! Act II wants to help them get there!

Directed by Alfonso López and choreographed by Steven Retchless, Nunsense, A-Men! is the kind of show that picks you up, shakes you around, and makes you want to dance. Playing every Sunday at 7:00 pm. Get your tickets at act2pv.com.

ACT II ANNOUNCES FOUR FABULOUS SHOWS OPENING IN FEBRUARY!

Act II is thrilled to welcome back the amazing Tony-Award winner, Levi Kreis, for his fourth highly-anticipated season with a brand-new hit show, Oh Canada!

Jason Antone, three-time Billboard-charting recording artist, vocalist, songwriter, and producer who makes his own club-ready dance music, will debut his powerful, new classical crossover this month with his new show, Classique, featuring the music of Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Luis Miguel and more.

Gabe Arciniega, former dancer with "Cuchi-Cuchi" Charo (and star of last year's blockbuster Rocky Horror Show), presents his exciting The Gabest Show on Earth, 2.0.

Debby Holiday, winner of 12 Top-20 Billboard Chart hits, returns to The Red Room with her hugely popular show, Queens of Rock!

OPENING THIS WEEK AT ACT II STAGES

Levi Kreis, "Oh, Canada"
A Tribute to Canadian musical icons
Featuring Tony Award Winner, Levi Kreis
Saturday, February 2 - Opening Night Party 6:30/Show 7:30 pm
February 5, 7, 9, 12, 13, 16, 19 - 7:30 pm

Tony-Award Winning Levi Kreis returns to Act II Stages for his THIRD unprecedented, back-to-back, sell-out runs at Act II! His show this year is about the special history he has had with many Canadian musical icons as he adds some of his own special flavor to many of their greatest hits! (The Chicago Tribune gives this show 5 stars!)

This handsome country singer/songwriter/actor electrifies his audiences with his soulful, southern, spirited voice and intriguing good looks.

Levi Kreis is one of the most honest communicators you will ever find. He executes his craft with profound vulnerability, a soulfulness that leaves you feeling as though you've experienced something deeply personal with him. He is committed to presenting the highest quality of entertainment, but the one thing people value most about Levi is how he makes them feel. To Kreis, art is a real-life conversation that is healing, as much as it is entertaining. Levi says, "I see art as an opportunity to convey something deeper, something spiritual. When you touch an audience at this level, they remember it forever."

Kreis is a bona fide star! He is best known for originating the role of Jerry Lee Lewis in Broadway's Tony-nominated musical, Million Dollar Quartet. The role won Levi the 2010 Tony Award for "Best Featured Act in a Musical," a 2010 Outer Critic's Circle Award, and a 2010 Drama League nomination.

Other notable stage credits include Violet, Smokey Joe's Café, and the national tour of Rent. In film, Levi is best known for his role as Fenton, Adam's brother (Matthew McConaghey) in Bill Paxton's directorial debut, Frailty (2001). Levi began his acting career with this film and has recently returned to the screen with roles in The Divide (2017) and A Very Sordid Wedding (2017). Today, Kreis is a singer/songwriter whose piano pop records have been featured on network television shows, including The Vampire Diaries, Sons of Anarchy, So You Think You Can Dance, Mob Wives, The Apprentice, Days of Our Lives, Young and the Restless, and several films.

With six albums to date, and a 2009 OutMusic Award for "Stained Glass Window," (the theme song for the Del Shores film, Southern Baptist Sissies,) Kreis has built a loyal following that continues to expand the reach of his own label imprint, Vision 9 Records. He has also recorded seven albums!

Levi is truly one of the most famous, but most humble, genuinely nice guys that we have ever hosted here at Act II! We are so excited that he will be returning this year! Don't miss this opportunity to see this extraordinary performer. Be sure and get your tickets early because his shows always sell out!

Jason Antone, "Classique"
Featuring Recording Artist, Jason Antone
Opening Night: Friday, February 8 - 5:00 pm
February 8, 11, 15, 18 - 5:00 pm

Act II is very excited to confirm that three-time Billboard-charting recording artist, Jason Antone, a vocalist, songwriter, and producer who makes his own club-ready dance music, will make his powerful classical crossover debut at Act II in February. His show will feature the beautiful music of Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Luis Miguel and more.

A native of Chicago and graduate of DePaul University, Antone earned a double degree in vocal studies and music management. This dual focus on the creative and business ends of the music industry eventually led him to start his own music label, Chickie Records. He released his first single, "With You," in the fall of 2006, and is currently working on his first, full-length classical crossover album, which will feature a full orchestra!
