OPENING THIS WEEK AT ACT2PV
“Whitney & Tina”
A Musical Tribute to Whitney Houston and Tina Turner
Starring Vallarta’s #1 Songstress, Diana Villamonte
OPENING NIGHT – Friday, December 20, 2019 – 5:00 pm
Diana Villamonte, runner-up in the 2018 Voice of Mexico competition, and #1 in the hearts of Vallartenses, presents a brand-new show that combines the music of two of her favorite performers, Whitney Houston and Tina Turner.
With her powerhouse voice and infectious personality, Diana is the perfect singer to take on the iconic Whitney (her lifelong inspiration), as well as the effervescent and ageless Tina Turner, with whom she shares an uncanny resemblance, both physically and vocally. Diana performed separate tribute shows for each of these women several years ago, and Puerto Vallarta audiences loved them both. This new production is the perfect vehicle to combine the energy and talent of these two musical virtuosos.
One of the most talented entertainers that has ever crossed the Act2PV stage, Diana Villamonte has been performing to sold-out audiences for the past three years. She is going to be “magical” in this new show! She continues to win the hearts of her audiences over and over, and people are amazed at the talent of this beautiful, young singer. This show is a MUST-SEE in Puerto Vallarta and is good for all ages. Get your tickets today at act2pv.com.
TripAdvisor Reviews:
“Diana Villamonte at Act 2 … SIMPLY INCREDIBLE!! If you haven’t gone to Act 2 to see Diana Villamonte in either of her tribute shows, – Tina Turner and/or – Motown and Beyond, you simply MUST put them on your list of things to do while visiting Puerto Vallarta! We attended the Tina Turner tribute show last week and were blown away by Diana’s talent and energy. We didn’t want the show to end! There are few performers that can rival the likes of Diana Ross, Whitney Houston, Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin, but Diana can give them ALL a run for their money!”
“Fiercely Talented Singing Sensation Diana Villamonte Dazzles in Puerto Vallarta! This young Panamanian beauty has apparently been slaying audiences most nights in a variety of themed-performances at the Red Room Cabaret. Not only is she a powerfully gifted singer, Ms. Villamonte is a natural and captivating stage performer. How best to describe her talent? Let’s just say that when she pays tribute to such iconic powerhouses as Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Etta James, Donna Summer and Shirley Bassey, you’re virtually just as enamored by her performance of the songs as you are by the originators! Having stumbled upon this gem of a talent at what has to be Puerto Vallarta’s hottest and most prolific entertainment venue, we left eager to follow this star who seems destined to skyrocket to fame.”

“AVENUE Q”
A delightful musical comedy
Produced by Act2PV
Directed by Alfonso López
Wednesdays – 7:00 pm
AvenueQ226.jpg“Avenue Q,” a delightful, laugh-out-loud American musical that was performed on Broadway from 2003 to 2019. Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score (not to mention the use of full-size puppets that are animated by unconcealed human puppeteers), AVENUE Q is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere! The story of AVENUE Q takes place in New York City and the street is Avenue Q, the only address a person can afford when they’re fresh out of college, out of a job, or just trying to find their purpose in life. It is a coming-of-age parable that satirizes the issues and anxieties of entering adulthood. Wednesdays at 7:00 pm.
