SHOWS OPENING THIS WEEK:
The Best of Broadway
Opening Monday, January 15 – 5:30 pm
The original Best of Broadway was the brainchild of the late and great Danny Mininni. He had a dream of directing a show featuring singing and dancing to the music of his favorite Broadway musicals! In 2019, his dream came true when he joined forces with Marsha Ward Ross as musical director and Alfonso Lopez as producer. That show was one of the most successful shows Act2PV has ever had!
Well, we are happy to announce that the Best of Broadway 2.0 opens on Monday, January 15 and it is better than ever with brand-new songs from 35 different musicals! It will knock your socks off! Featuring medleys sung in 4-part harmony, solos, duets, a capella songs and professional dancing, this cast is made up of 7 of the best performers in Puerto Vallarta, including Brenda Gavino, Sarah Heckbart, Gabriela Heart, Ximena Esparza, Victor do Espirito, Alfredo Mendoza and Act2PV’s talented choreographer, Edgar Roman.
This is definitely a show that will bring back memories, and maybe even a tear to your eye with songs from Disney, Wicked, My Fair Lady, Sondheim, Carousel, Annie Get Your Gun, Company, Phantom of the Opera, Billy Elliot, Mary Poppins, The Lion King and so many more! We are so excited about this show and know that you will love it, too! Music Director – Marsha Ward Ross, Director – Alfonso Lopez, Choreographer – Edgar Roman and Andy Sands – Costume Designer.
