Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – The #1 Performing Arts Venue in Banderas Bay, and #3 ‘Things to Do in Puerto Vallarta’ on TripAdvisor, Act2PV is THE Place to go for COOL summer entertainment! This week’s lineup includes ‘Mamma Mia! the Musical,’ the return of Diana Villamonte, and free shows on Wednesday & Thursday.
Mamma Mia! Opens to Sold-Out Audience!
Mamma Mia! the Musical, (the original stage production featuring a full cast), opened to an enthusiastic and very happy audience! The most exciting production in Puerto Vallarta history, Mamma Mia! has returned to Act2PV for a limited 4-show run. Now there are just three shows left: July 24, 31 & August 6!
Mamma Mia! had a record 58 SOLD-OUT PERFORMANCES at Act2PV before it was forced to close at the start of the pandemic. Act2PV is very grateful to be able to resurrect this “feel good,” show with many of its original cast members, as well as some wonderful new additions.
Directed by Alfonso Lopez, Mamma Mia! the Musical is inspired and enhanced by a whole passel of well-known ABBA tunes. You probably know the story… Sophie, the 20-year old bride, 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 secretly 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, an innovative and colorful set design, beautiful custom-created costumes, and brilliant choreography. This is a must-see show that is great for all ages! Tickets at act2pv.com.
MAMMA MIA! is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.

“We have seen Mama Mia 3 times this season! The energy of the cast and quality of the singing, dancing and acting is top rate. Even my husband, who is NOT an ABBA music fan, thought it was great!”
“Finally took in Mamma Mia last night and it was so worth the wait!! So entertaining from start to finish, loved the music, the sets, the costumes, the actors!!”
