During her career, Debby has toured and opened for rock superstars including Joe Walsh, Rod Stewart and Kiss.

Summertime, I Got Rhythm, Nice Work If You Can Get It, S'Wonderful, Embraceable You, Someone to Watch Over Me, and many more! George Gershwin (1898-1937) was one of America's most influential music composers and pianists who worked in both classical and popular styles.

Most of his songs were written to words written by his brother, Ira Gershwin. Some of his most well-known works are Rhapsody in Blue, An American in Paris and Porgy and Bess, which is considered to be one of the most important American operas of the 20th century.

I Got Rhythm features beautiful harmonies, duets, solos, and mini vignettes of song and dance. Each song sparkles with pure Americana from the 20's and 30's. Come and take a step back in time as you enjoy this art-deco themed show starring Act II partner, Alfonso López, along with MaryJo Nelson, Sasha del Océano, Marsha Ward Ross, Alberto Ponce, and Andrew Sands.

This "unholy" version features uproarious horseplay and side-splitting jokes that are performed by some of PV's finest actors, Bert Ramirez, Shawn Morgan, José Jasso, Roberto Gomez, and Al Carswell. Check out their video, #sheNUNigans, to see them parasailing, racing down the Malecon on Segways and experimenting with tequila... All in full habits! The Act II nuns are always up to something new and irreverent! Directed by Alfonso López and choreographed by Steven Retchless, "Nunsense A-Men!" is the kind of show that picks you up and shakes you around and makes you want to dance. What more could you want from a musical than passion and laughter and fun? This is a show not to be missed at Act II Stages!

"It just keeps getting better! On this trip my husband and I attended 3 shows... Nunsense, Diana Villamonte and Little Shop of Horrors. All were very different and wonderful! I am happy to see that they are expanding the number and types of shows while continuing to bring PV quality live entertainment. The service is excellent and the setting fun. Go early and listen to the music in the bar. And yes, it is for everyone... please don't feel it is only a gay venue... don't miss it!" - Connie, Long Beach, on TripAdvisor 11/16/18

Hedda Lettuce, the six-time Drag Queen of the Year Award-winner (HX magazine) and the legendary "green goddess" of drag, is excited to return to Puerto Vallarta for her FOURTH "sold out" season! Her show, this year, is a loving send-up to her favorite town... Puerto Vallarta! Hedda will glamorize another season as she dishes out a tossed salad of improvisational comedy, sultry songs, and dazzling gowns. (And it's entirely fat-free!) She will gladly engage you in a night of storytelling, bawdy and biting wit, spontaneous comedy, and live (not lip-synched) singing! Her show includes her nationally-acclaimed original comedic music that is peppered with parodies of old time favorites and startling satire. Hedda Lettuce is one of New York City's premiere drag queens and keeps the audience screaming with laughter for the entire show!

"Awesome great show. I highly recommend Hedda Lettuce, she is an amazing performer." - C Sailor, Puerto Vallarta 11/15/18

"...Hedda Lettuce was hilarious! A little of Dame Edna, a little Joan Rivers and perhaps a smidgen of Don Rickles' snarkiness, but truly, her truly, her comedy is uniquely hers - and a laugh riot!" MitziGabor, 12/16/18, TripAdvisor

A Musical Tribute to Whitney Houston, featuring PV's #1 Star
Produced by Act II Entertainment
Every Friday at 7:30 pm

Diana Villamonte returns to Act II after winning FIRST RUNNER UP on The Voice of Mexico! This year, we are thrilled to announce that Diana, along with director Alfonso López, has created yet ANOTHER sensational hit show, "I Will Always Love You," a musical tribute to Whitney Houston! Diana, with her powerhouse voice and infectious personality, is the perfect singer to take on the iconic Whitney (her lifelong inspiration). The highlight of Diana's show last year was when she previewed some of her Whitney Houston songs, often having most audience members in tears. Diana blew the audience away, and her fans begged for a whole show of Whitney's songs!

"Diana Villamonte is a powerhouse singer and great entertainer! Last night we went to the ACT 2 theater, which is now opening its 5th season in PV. Having come to PV for 33 years, we didn't realize it now had theater productions. The theater is on the 2nd and third floors of a building in the center of the "Romantic Zone", and has a red velvet draped lounge and bar which is like a cool 1920's Speakeasy where they have great listening music and a live entertainer before you enter one of two theater areas for the main productions. Both theaters have comfortable velvet padded chairs in either a theater style venue or a smaller semi circular stage with balcony and bar counters, surrounding a curtain backed stage with two screens on either side. We saw Diana Villamonte in that smaller setting and she was spectacular! There is a lot of amazing talent in Puerto Vallarta and we are delighted that this wonderful entrepreneur built a theater here... and that the amazingly talented Diana Villamonte lives here. We felt very privileged to have heard her at this early stage in her career, as she is only 24. Please go see her or any of their productions, and thank the owner for his entrepreneurship." - LindasT7244CM, Port Charlotte, Fl on TripAdvisor 11/13/18
