Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – With an incredible line-up of musical stage plays, cabaret and drag shows, plus a group of ‘Boys’ direct from Broadway presenting 3 new shows this month, Act2PV is THE PLACE to go for quality entertainment in Puerto Vallarta. And, with FOUR shows to choose from every night, February is going to be Fabulous at Act2PV!
The “Boys” from Broadway are Off The Charts with Three New Shows!
You never know what you’re going to get when you book a new show. Sometimes you just have to hold your breath and go with your instincts. Well, instincts definitely paid off when Act2PV decided to host the 4 incredible Broadway Stars known as “The Boy Band Project.”
These guys are first class. Each one is a fabulous singer and together they sing in PERFECT harmony. Their songs are fun, upbeat, and full of energy, and each one of these beautiful ‘boys’ belongs on the cover of a magazine. With talent direct from Broadway, their shows are nothing short of PHENOMENAL!
Act2’s Danny Mininni says, “My prediction: The Boy Band Project will be labeled as the best show to ever come to Puerto Vallarta – Any Venue, Any Year. It does not matter if you like 90’s music or boy bands, four Broadway stars singing = more talent in one room than PV has EVER seen.”
This month, Act2PV will present THREE DIFFERENT SHOWS featuring the singers from The Boy Band Project. You better Get Your Tickets Now because these shows are the hottest tickets in town!
1. “The Boy Band Project”
Broadway Stars, Boys, Booty-shaking, Belting and all your Favorite Boy Band Hits!
February 10, 17 & 24 – 5:00 pm
February 12, 16, 19, 23, 25, 26 – 9:30 pm
Recently seen on Good Morning America, headlining on Atlantis Cruises, and as cover boys for the NYC Pride issue of GetOut Magazine, The Boy Band Project, is an all gay, scintillating, boy band cover group that re-imagines the sound, movement, and energy of NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Hanson, One Direction, 98 Degrees, O-town, BoyzIIMen, Jonas Brothers and more.
This musical thrill-fest features a group of boys direct from Broadway, so, if you can’t say “Bye Bye Bye” to the hits of your favorite guy groups from the ’90s to the present, now’s your chance to see them covered by a hot roster of effervescent, energy-ridden and extremely sexy boys! These guys prove that while some people have brains, some have looks, and others have talent, the Boy Band Project has it all!
These guys met when they performed together in Altar Boyz, an Off-Broadway musical, and decided to create an official “boy band” of their own. Their shows are interactive and nostalgic and pay homage to the dynamic and romantic style of the originals while highlighting their own considerable talents, heartthrob good looks, and seductive attitudes. As hard as it may be to imagine, the band actually sounds (and looks) better than the original groups that they cover! Tickets are available at act2pv.com.
“These are all men with real voices, trained to deliver real vocals, without auto-tuning and control booth trickery. To sit in a room and listen to voices sing so big that your heart swells, and so small that your heart melts, is, in and of itself, a treat not to be taken for granted. Add spectacularly synchronized steps, genuinely gorgeous gyrations, sexy smoldering stares, and you’ve got an hour of blissfully entertaining time away from the harsh realities that await you, on the street, on your phone, on your computer, on your TV screen. What makes the show so good is that these super hot guys bring all the tongue in cheek humor you would hope for in a boy band cover group, spontaneously interacting with the audience from the stage and out in the house (be prepared for the fourth wall to be seriously broken down), and then they hit you with the harmonies, the harmonies, the harmonies. The solos, the solos, the solos. The talent on the stage is simply overwhelming!” – Steven Mosher, Broadway World
2. “Hello, My Name is Elder Smith”
Featuring Daniel LeClaire, Star of Broadway’s “Book of Mormon”
Songs and Stories from a Broadway star!
February 8, 15 – 5:00 pm
February 7, 11, 14 – 7:30 pm
March 1 – 9:30 pm
Daniel LeClaire, star of “The Boy Band Project,” played “Elder Smith” in Broadway’s hit musical, Book of Mormon. This world-renowned singer/songwriter/actor is now performing in The Red Room with his own show, Hello, My Name is Elder Smith. He has performed at many famous venues around the world and has shared the stage with such legends as Betty White and Cher.
Electrifying audiences with his beautiful singing, high energy, and intriguing good looks, Daniel sings and dances his way through many of the most well-known hits from the decades, including Bridge Over Troubled Water, Try a Little Tenderness, Defying Gravity, Come Fly with Me, Summertime, and many other favorite tunes.
We saw Daniel’s second show. He’s so talented. Great voice, great storytelling, and a singer songwriter who plays the piano . . . Daniel brings his vulnerability to his stories. . . . voice is tremendous. A true Broadway star. It doesn’t hurt that he’s also extremely adorable.” – TripAdvisor
“The surprise HIT of the season! He’s a performer! … a fine, young man with abundant singing talent and the result tonight is being entertained by a wonderful man who has learned from his many trips across the stage. It is evident that Daniel has a Broadway theater background in his personal repertoire and charming approach to his performance and the audience. He knows how to please a crowd after many hours acting, singing and dancing across the USA and Canada. ‘A Professional’ describes him well…” – Gary R Beck, Puerto Vallarta Shows: More of Beck’s Best: Theater, Cabaret and More
“The Boy Band Project captures the essence of that time in our lives when boy bands ruled. The four very capable singers and dancers create an energy that encourages the audience to join in and the action is often carried out into the room. You will love this show unless you really don’t like boy bands, and even then, they might just win you over.” – Ed Gill
3. “Miscast Men of Broadway”
A musical, comedy, and high energy show featuring
The Boy Band Project’s Daniel LeClaire and Mike Schwitter

Daniel LeClaire and Mike Schwitter (current members of the Boy Band Project), both starred in Broadway’s nine-time Tony Award-winning blockbuster, The Book of Mormon. After becoming best friends – on stage and off – they are now together again with their show, Miscast Men of Broadway, featuring songs like “Good Morning Baltimore” (Hairspray), “Summertime” (Porgy and Bess), “Only Us” (Dear Evan Hansen), “Aquarius” (Hair), and “You and Me, but Mostly Me” (Book of Mormon), and more.

MAMMA MIA!
A Broadway Musical
Produced by Act2PV
Directed by Alfonso López
Mondays, Thursdays & Saturdays – 7:00 pm
Puerto Vallarta loves the Broadway musical, MAMMA MIA! In fact, this exciting production has been selling out every time it is performed! It has sold more tickets in just 2 ½ months than any other show in Puerto Vallarta history, and people are returning to see it again and again!
As a result, Act2PV and MTI International have extended the show into February. Inspired and enhanced by well-known ABBA tunes, MAMMA MIA! is a “feel good” kind of show that will make you want to sing along to the familiar songs, and get up and dance in the aisles!
The story revolves around Sophie, a 20-year old bride, who is planning to get married in a little hotel on a Greek island where she has worked with her single mother, Donna, her whole life. Unbeknownst to Donna, Sophie has longed to find the father she has never known.
After accidentally finding and reading her mother’s diary, she finds clues that point to three lovers from her mom’s “free-spirited” past that “might” be her father. Sophie secretly invites all three of these men to her wedding, and hilarity ensues! This delightful story features lots of nostalgic singing and dancing, as well as a HUGE cast, a creative and colorful set design, beautiful, custom-created costumes, and brilliant choreography. Get your tickets now at act2pv.com.
“Fantastic! Amazing cast – Excellent singing, acting, dancing. Stephanie Wright Watts’s “The Winner Takes It All” performance was powerful. Brought tears to my eyes. Terrific choreography, costumes, sets, lighting. Such a fun evening including pre-show singer in the bar. Highly recommend!” – TripAdvisor
“The shows at Act II are always high-quality and entertaining, and Mamma Mia! is no exception. If anything, Act II has raised the bar with their production of this fast-paced and hilarious show that features the music of ABBA.” – TripAdvisor

“AVENUE Q”
A musical comedy featuring puppets and human actors
Produced by Act2PV
Directed by Alfonso López
Wednesdays – 7:00 pm
AVENUE Q is 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!
Although the show addresses humorous adult issues… (puppet sex!)… and is not recommended for children, it is actually very similar to a “well-known children’s television show” where puppets are friends. Audiences everywhere have been captivated by this fresh and funny story, and it won the prestigious 2004 “Triple Crown” for Tony Awards… Best Music, Best Score and Best Book! During its 6-month run at Act2PV three years ago, almost every show was sold out!
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.
“We saw this show in New York six years ago, and decided to see it again, this time in Puerto Vallarta! Loved every minute of it, adult puppetry with fantastic humor. Worthwhile seeing this fabulous show, bravo!” – TripAdvisor
“We recently moved to Nuevo Vallarta and are starting to explore things to do. We have not been down to the romantic zone much but decided to try out Avenue Q. We had an absolutely amazing time… The cast was unbelievably professional and extremely talented! They took the time to visit with us after the show and we are so excited to put every show on our calendar next season. If you get a chance while visiting Puerto Vallarta you should definitely check this place out. There is a very nice bar so go early and enjoy the entire experience!!” – TripAdvisor

Five years ago, Kimberly choreographed Act2PV’s very first production, A Chorus Line, as well as the first Encuentros de Danza.
