Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – It is always sad when “high season” in Puerto Vallarta comes to an end, and this year is no exception.
Five of Act2PV’s headline shows are closing this week. However, Act2PV managing partner Danny Mininni has polled the audiences lately to see how many people have received their vaccine, and many have raised their hands, saying that as soon as they got the vaccine they headed to Puerto Vallarta! So, Act2PV is anticipating a very busy new “Summer High Season,” continuing several of this season’s popular shows well into the summer and introducing some exciting NEW productions.
On Saturday, March 27, Act2PV says goodbye to Mama Tits, who will be a headline performer for four months at one of the most popular theaters in Provincetown, Massachusetts! Act2PV is so proud of our Mama and would love for you to join her at her final show on March 27. (Yes, she will be back at Act2PV next season!)
One of Act2’s most popular new shows this season, Hello Barbra / Hello Bette starring Faride Talamas, closes on Wednesday March 31. We will miss Faride, but are excited that she will also return to the stage next season!
Reflections, the best tribute show in PV, closes on Thursday, April 1. (No Fooling!) Three amazing women sing and dance to the music of the female artists of Motown… The Supremes, Dreamgirls, and much more. Starring three of the most talented vocalists in Mexico, Daniela, Brenda & Faride, this show is certain to bring back memories and will make you want to “groove” to the familiar sounds you know and love!
Act2PV’s #1 musical revue, The Best of Broadway, closes on Friday, April 2. The Best of Broadway cast has been performing to rave reviews for the past two seasons! Both Daniela and Faride will be leaving Puerto Vallarta for the summer, but Marc and Victor will be working on some exciting new projects for the next season!

MAMMA MIA! At the Cabaret
CLOSING SHOW
Saturday, April 3 at 7:00 pm
Get Your Tickets NOW!
This season’s blockbuster hit, MAMMA MIA! At the Cabaret, comes to an end on Saturday, April 2. Mamma Mia!, the most popular show in Act2PV’s 8 year history, has been the lifeline to help Act2PV stay alive for the past two seasons.
We all know the story… Girl meets three boys, Girl has a baby and is not sure who the baby daddy is. But you have never seen the story told like this. Director Alfonso Lopez was given a few challenges: cut the show down to 90 min, cut the cast by 10 people, and MAKE IT BETTER! Alfonso did all three in the most creative and brilliant way.
He and Act2PV created a show removing all the boring dialogue, keeping all the fun music and choreography, while telling the story completely by making use of video footage and pictures from the original cast. The duets between actors on stage and video footage from last season was reminiscent of the famous Nat King Cole duet with daughter Natalie.
It is a “feel good” show, filled with joy and happiness and features lots of nostalgic singing and dancing, as well as many of the same stars from last year and the same great ABBA songs… in a way that you’ve never seen before!
Mamma Mia! at the Cabaret is pure fun! It’s like listening to your old records… It’s an ABBA-solutely perfect escape from the anxiety of today and a wonderful way to spend an evening out with your friends and family… safely! All ages are welcome. All safety protocols are in place for both actors and audience. Tickets are available now at act2pv.com.
MAMMA MIA! is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre international (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI, 423 West 55th Street, New York, NY 10019.
In the meantime, Act2PV is still presenting many of its 5-star shows every night in both its beautiful, OUTDOOR Starlight Cabaret, where seating is limited, safety protocols are observed, and tables are spaced 6-10 feet apart, and in the Main Stage where seating is reduced by 60%, and ozone purifiers, ozone disinfectors, air purifiers and HEPA filters have been installed. Act2PV is SERIOUS about protecting its clients and entertainers. Many of these shows will be closing soon, so be sure and get your tickets now at act2pv.com.
