Review: Come experience Marieann Meringolo’s Shades of Love for one last show on Sunday, Feb 15th at 5 pm at The Palm Cabaret. At last night’s performance, Marieann pulled at the heart-strings of our emotions through her fabulous, smooth, soulful vocals and thoughtful exploration of what love means to each of us. This show appeals to everyone who has experienced love in all its shades and nuances. The good, the bad and the ugly was explored, and with Marieann as our guide, we reflected on this crazy journey of love and life. With all its twists, turns, joy and heartbreak, we enjoyed love’s lessons through incredible vocals, emotional lyrics and thoughtful reflections. Mark Hartman was simply amazing on piano accompaniment and harmonies. What a privilege it was to experience Mark’s & Marieann’s decades of musical expertise, in a show that was simply perfect in every way! From classics like, “My Funny Valentine” to a Billy Joel song about the sadness & euphoria of love’s journey, we took an individual trip down memory lane through our own reflections of love and what it has taught us. With a little bit of Pop, Broadway, Folk and classic hits from the past, Marieann was our perfect tour guide for a “crazy little thing called love.” Gay or Straight, it makes no difference, because you will absolutely love this show!
Puerto Vallarta, México – The romantic spirit of Valentine’s week is set to take center stage in Puerto Vallarta as celebrated vocalist Marieann Meringolo brings her acclaimed performance, Shades of Love, to The Palm Cabaret and Bar.
Scheduled for February 11 at 7:00 pm and February 15 at 5:00 pm, this special LGBTQ-themed production offers a sophisticated celebration of the idea that “Love is Love.” Brought to the city by the Bella Vox Performing Arts Foundation under the direction of David Sabella, the show promises to be a highlight of the seasonal calendar.
Meringolo arrives in Mexico with a reputation for possessing a voice that is as much an emotional experience as it is a musical one. Known for a style that blends soulful depth with a polished, “velvet” tone, she has earned standing ovations across prestigious stages in New York City and beyond. Her ability to transform a song into an intimate conversation allows her to connect deeply with her audience, making each lyric feel personal and grounded.
This particular performance features a carefully curated setlist that reimagines the works of legendary songwriters. Attendees can expect fresh interpretations of classics by Joni Mitchell, Janis Ian, Billy Joel, and Neil Sedaka, as well as modern favorites from artists like Christina Perri. By blending the Great American Songbook with contemporary hits, Meringolo explores the diverse spectrum of romance – ranging from playful and lighthearted moments to the more tender and passionate aspects of human connection.
The atmosphere at The Palm will likely reflect Meringolo’s signature blend of timeless elegance and modern charm. Her wit and warmth serve to anchor the performance, ensuring that the exploration of life’s emotional “ups and downs” remains an uplifting and magical experience.
