Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – Five years ago two accomplished entertainers arrived in Puerto Vallarta and “changed entertainment for the better!” Maru Prado Conti (from Argentina) brought her Lady Gaga tribute to The Palm Cabaret and has continued to sell out performances. Roy Gomez Cruz (Mexico) arrived at The Palm that same year with his Queen tribute show that has thrilled and amazed audiences for 5 seasons.
Born out of the overwhelming popularity of the Lady Gaga and Freddie Mercury tributes has been a flurry of other popular tributes to musical legends such as Beyonce, Rhianna, Pink, Adele, Sam Smith, George Michael, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Abba, Elton John, Billy Joel, Christina Aguilera, Josh Groban, Amy Winehouse, Fleetwood Mac/Eagles and more.
Audiences love how the original artists and songs are brought to life by the many talented performers who take the stage at The Palm Cabaret and its sister venue, Coco Cabaret by The Palm. Tribute Shows are some of Vallarta’s most popular entertainment and have helped turn it into a world-class entertainment destination.
Back by popular demand for the 5th season, Maru Prado Conti, delivers a thrilling musical tribute to the legendary Lady Gaga and creatively expresses, through visuals, song, and dance, her incredible body of work.
Maru’s new Lady Gaga Tribute, Mother Mayhem is a stage journey blending music, theater, and striking visual performance to tell the eternal battle between light and darkness. Through an explosive selection of Lady Gaga’s greatest hits, the show moves from gothic drama to electric celebration. Each act reveals a different facet: inner confrontation, forbidden desire, liberation, and ultimately, the triumph of light.
Four years dedicated to her tribute show were a period of intense growth for Maru, culminating in a powerful need to create something uniquely her own. Her experiences, particularly her time in New York and a life-changing encounter watching Lady Gaga live, reignited her artistic fire. That inspiration fueled a new chapter: a personal and artistic outpouring featuring brand-new costumes, custom-designed staging, and reimagined music.
Mother Mayhem is a show filled with high-energy choreography, unexpected visual shifts, and a never-before-seen stage element that transforms the space into a universe where the sacred and the chaotic coexist… and where the audience becomes part of the final victory.
The show pays homage to “Mayhem,” Lady Gaga’s latest tour, featuring highlights from her most recent album — including Abracadabra, Garden of Eden, and Vanish into You — alongside iconic classics such as Judas, Scheiße, Alejandro, Poker Face, and more.
This season, musical production will be led by Edgar Bernache, shaping the performance into something more artistic and deeply personal. With dancers (The Star Boys), a backup singer, spectacular special effects, and Maru’s fabulous vocals, choreography and showmanship, Mother Mayhem is sure to be a winner from start to finish.
The Lady Gaga Tribute has been one of Puerto Vallarta’s most popular shows. It has been a SMASH HIT from its inception and it returns on Saturday, October 18th at 9 pm for a weekly performance as part of The Palm Cabaret’s 26th Season of Incredible Entertainment!
Now entering its fifth year at The Palm Cabaret, internationally acclaimed vocalist Roy Cruz returns with a bold new production: Freddie Mercury: The Man, The Voice, The Legend.
Since its debut in 2020, Cruz’s Freddie Mercury tribute show has become one of Puerto Vallarta’s signature stage experiences. Each season has unveiled a new facet of Freddie: from the high-energy celebration of his greatest hits to the deeper storytelling of his tumultuous life in I Want It All; the playful extravagance of Don’t Stop Me Now; and the grandeur of Freddie Mercury: The Legend. Audiences return year after year – often more than once – because the show continues to surprise, reimagine, and deepen their encounter with rock’s greatest frontman.
Roy is celebrated for his extraordinary vocal range, emotional depth, and magnetic stage presence that have carried him across international stages. His performances embody Freddie’s charisma while adding his own artistry and vision.
This year brings a fully reimagined sonic landscape, expanded choreography, upgraded visuals, and intimate piano renditions. More than a concert, Roy’s tribute is an electrifying, immersive experience that has become a true tradition in Puerto Vallarta.
Get ready for an energetic, visual, and emotional journey through the songs and life events that made Freddie Mercury larger than life. Roy’s powerful vocals and unbelievable impersonation bring you as close as you’ll ever be to this legendary rock icon.
Roy’s professional musical and performance training has enabled him to produce and star in a truly EPIC tribute to Queen and its lead singer. Not only does he sing every song authentically, but his costumes, style, persona, and audience engagement all measure up to the legendary Freddie Mercury. Roy even accompanies himself on the piano, just like the iconic Freddie Mercury often did in his concerts.
With incredible video footage of Queen concerts and interviews in the background, the show entertains and educates the audience about this unique and groundbreaking star and takes the audience through Freddie’s transformation into an eternal legend! You can experience this amazing show on Friday, October 17th at and weekly throughout The Palm’s 26th season.
