Supreme!
A celebration of the greatest girl groups of all time!
OPENING NIGHT – Wednesday, December 21 at 5:00 pm
(Opening Night Party at 4:00 pm)
“Supreme!” is a music revue that was originally inspired by the music of The Supremes and Motown (and beyond). Over the past three exciting years, Supreme has developed into a magical celebration of today’s pop hits, as well as the toe-tapping music that had people dancing in the streets when girl groups reigned supreme. From the moment these four fiery women set foot on stage, sizzling harmony fills the air! Each performer becomes the lead singer in turn and is backed up with tight vocal harmonies and coordinated dance steps. This show has a Vegas feeling that features beautiful women, gorgeous costumes, graceful dancing and incredible harmonizing! Supreme dazzles and delights audiences of all ages!
Nahuales
An incredible experience on a private island
OPENING NIGHT – Sunday, December 18
(This performance is not held at the Act2PV venue)
Inspired by a Mexican legend from the Mesoamerican folk region, a nagual (pronounced na’wal), is a human who has the power to shape shift into their animal counterpart. The legend is tied to the belief that one can access power and spiritual insight by connecting with their animal counterpart within.
We’ve taken that legend and created Nahuales, a Mystical Night – a show where our performers will find their animal “counterparts,” amazing you with their acrobatic talents. This spectacular live performance features professional dancers and circus-like performances, including a live fire dance! You’ll be amazed at the acrobatic performances held on a stage at a private beach. The show is approximately 40 minutes long, and afterward, you’ll be able to meet and talk with each performer. A DJ will then take over and you can dance on the party stage and enjoy the evening on the secluded private beach. There are special guests planned for some shows, which may extend showtime.
Your ticket includes access to a boat ride (approximately 45 minutes), an open bar, and food (including open bar, fruits, snacks and three types of ceviche – including a vegetarian option), prepared by authentic local Mexican residents of the island that you will visit. When you arrive, the boat will dock at a pier, and, on the beach, you can dance to music played by a local DJ, and watch the sunset. After the sunset, the real show begins! Your ticket to the show also supports local Mexican talent, since the show is produced and performed by all locals. Many of whom you may recognize from other local performances.
